Big Lebowski Bunch Saddling Up for True Grit
Gramercy Pictures
This could be awesome.
Jeff Bridges, forever beloved as The Dude in The Big Lebowski, is in talks to reteam with the Coen brothers on a remake of True Grit, reports Variety.
The original 1969 version won John Wayne his Oscar.
Based on Charles Portis' sublime and hilarious novel about a young woman who enlists a drunken U.S. Marshall named Rooster Cogburn to avenge her father's murder, the Coens' version is said to be truer to the book, which is told from the woman's comically single-minded POV.
The timing could be just right, as Bridges seems on a roll with Iron Man and his Dude-esque turn in The Men Who Stare at Goats with George Clooney. The Coens also have a new film, A Serious Man.
And if doesn't work out, they can always go bowling.
