Academy Award-winning filmmakers, Joel and Ethan Coen, have finally taken another go at remaking a classic movie, "True Grit", following their 2004 "The Ladykillers". The duo behind "Burn After Reading" will be giving a reboot treatment for the 1969 Western movie that helped John Wayne earned his Oscar.
Though rebooting the Henry Hathaway-directed movie, Coen brothers reportedly won't make the project a straight remake of the film. They, instead, will base their movie on the original Charles Portis novel, meaning that they will focus the story on the 14-year-old girl who hunts down her father's killer in hostile Native American territory and not on Wayne's character Rooster Cogburn.
Serving as the screenwriters for this "True Grit" remake, both Joel and Ethan Coen will once again team up with their "No Country for Old Men" partner, Scott Rudin. Although they have planned on developing "The Yiddish Policemen's Union" at Columbia first, "True Grit" has leaped ahead of the film.

I can't wait to see what the Coen Brothers do with this. Does anybody know where they're going to shoot the film?
