First look at Jeff Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld in Coen brothers’ TRUE GRIT remake
Listen - the Coen brothers could remake DON'T TELL MOM THE BABYSITTER'S DEAD, and the flick would be Oscar bait before pre-production even started. In fact, I'd like to see that. But that's neither here nor there. Today we get our first look at the Coens' next project that is a) actually in production and b) most likely bound for glory. The brothers Coen are hard at work on their remake of TRUE GRIT, starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and newcomer Hailee Steinfeld (whom the Coens now-famously found in an open casting call).
Today, we get our first look at Bridges and Steinfeld in character as Rooster Cogburn and Mattie Ross on the set of the remake of the John Wayne classic (which will apparently stick closer to the source material, Charles Portis' novel of the same name). Fans of the original will be pleased to see Rooster's famous eye patch well-represented here. Check out four other on-set pictures after the break!
Fans of the original, does Steinfeld look like a suitable Mattie Ross? Is Bridges your idea of a new take on Rooster Cogburn?
The film is set for release on December 25.
