Duking it out Coen Bros style
In the hands of anyone but Joel and Ethan Coen, I'd cringe at the notion of a True Grit remake. After what they did to The Ladykillers, I should still probably be cringing. But obviously these guys are brilliant most days. If anyone can deliver a picture to get the world excited about westerns again -- look what they did for archaic mountain music -- it's probably them.

The original is classic. In fact, "classic" doesn't do the film justice. It just can't be topped.
To do a remake is a crime. --CI Photog
I hear ya, CI. I agree that one can't be topped, but since it's based on a novel, maybe something equally "good" but different could come of it. That's what I'm envisioning/hoping for anyway.
Let's see Coens touch "Three Musketeers".....-- CI
At first I was going to bow to you with a "touche!" Then I started thinking how good something like that could be. And if it did suck, I could always just ignore it.
