This is how the phone call went with my mom, who's a fan of westerns (although she prefers the frontiersman/pioneer type to the new sheriff in town, meet me outside at noon tomorrow sort). I told her that the Coen brothers have a newly adapted film of True Grit coming out. She tells me it was a John Wayne movie that they're remaking. No, I tell her, they're shooting from a new script they've adapted from Portis's book. It's not a remake.
That is how every other conversation I've had about the film has gone as well.
So, what do we do? I'm thinking, first read or reread the book [1]. Then, check out or re-check out the John Wayne film [2]. Then, on or after Christmas, go see the Coen brothers film [3]. Write that down.
1. How do you like to read True Grit? Paperback? Hardbound? Large Print?
2. I reckon you'll want to watch the John Wayne version on DVD.
3.For more info on the forthcoming True Grit film, mosey over to IMDb.
