Damon and Brolin in Talks for True Grit Source:Variety October 26, 2009

Variety reports that Matt Damon and Josh Brolin are in talks with Joel and Ethan Coen to join Jeff Bridges in True Grit, the re-imagining of the iconic 1969 Western that Paramount Pictures will put into production next March for a late 2010 release.

The Coens, who previously attached their Big Lebowski star Bridges to play U.S. marshal Rooster Cogburn, are in talks with Damon to play the lawman who teams with Cogburn and a 14-year old girl to track her father's killer into hostile Indian territory.

Brolin (who starred in the Coens' No Country for Old Men) is in talks to play the killer.

The Coens are producing with Scott Rudin and Steven Spielberg.

I'd rather have Yiddish Policeman's Union produced next too, but seeing how they employ Bridges will be fun. A Serious Man was pitch perfect. Sharp writing, haunting score, some really trippy, absurd moments, and an ending that came out of nowhere. Surprised no one has seen it yet. While I think these guys are the best America has in moviemakers, they owe great debts to Roger Deakins and Carter Burwell.

A Western, or another Jew movie?

Exactly.

Only last night I sat wondering when this was going to get released. Christmas can't come quick enough.

i'm sure the coens' Yiddish Policeman's Union would be better than the book.

Yep. Not enough praise in the world for this one. Potentially speaking.
