TRUE CRIT
What’s the best way to guarantee winning an Oscar for your film? Simple! Round up as much talent as you possibly can... which is precisely what they did for the western remake True Grit.
A talented bunch take on a classic.
The original film True Grit was a huge box-office success. It was released in 1969 and starred John Wayne, who won an Oscar for his role. However, the new film is more closely based on the original novel by Charles Portis, according to director Ethan Coen. Ethan, who made the film with his brother Joel, said, “The book is entirely from the point of view of the 14-year-old girl, Mattie Ross. I think the book is much funnier than the original movie. It also ends differently.”
