"True Grit" - remake

[Rico]

Love the original film with the Duke, but this remake looks excellent.  Besides Sci-Fi, I'm a sucker for a good western.  Check out the trailer.  Opening on Christmas Day.

I have my doubts - but I will go see it.  John Wayne is the greatest.  Matt Damon in this right?  Well....at least there is no Ben Afleck...

Been getting some good early reviews.  If you pay attention to that kind of thing.

Looks good.

I think that this is going to rock. From what I hear, it's more true to the book.

Then, maybe we should call it "Really True Grit."  ;)

I respectfully disagree with that. Any movie based on a book is open for remake given the proper amount of time.

Just because it's based on a book doesn't mean a thing ,movies are base on script what you see on the screen
might be the result of a number of script changes so you could say from a remake view it's based on the original script.

Anyway the whole point is a personal level on how I feel about the original film so my own thoughts and feelings.
I have nothing against remake presay as long as it not just a retreading of what been done before,new and fresh.

Have said that Can't wait to see it

and I can't wait for the remake of Citizen Kane with Will Ferrell.

In the case of this movie, they have made it clear that it is based on the book and a story more true to the book which has some big difference than the old movie.

I read the book it's great stuff, does the pop up edition count.

I do get your point film adaptations of books can  take big liberty's with story and characters and there is always room to improve them
