Variety says Matt Damon will jump aboard the Coen Brothers' True Grit alongside Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin. Bridges will play Rooster Cogburn, the role made famous by John Wayne in the original True Grit, while Damon plays the lawman La Boeuf (casting Shia would've been too obvious plus he's way too much of a pansy for a Coen Brothers Western).By the way, this is not a remake of the John Wayne movie. It is a completely new adaptation of the book upon which that movie was based. So don't go calling it a fucking remake or I will have to shoot you in the fucking head with an air gun designed for killing cattle.
Coen Brothers plus dusty macho guys last equaled No Country for Old Men, so this has a chance to be pretty good though horribly grim and depressing.
