Uh oh. Another one

In the Hollywood tradition of "If you can't think of anything new, just remake a classic" here is another remake that I'm not to thrilled about:

While the original True Grit isn't the best movie ever, it's still a favorite of mine.  Glen Campbell's acting wasn't exactly Oscar material (though Wayne won a Best Actor award for his role)and Duval wasn't at his best in it.  I do think the sequel, Rooster Cogburn, was better (even if it was essentially African Queen in the Wild West)

Really, I'm not as unhappy about this particular remake as I usually am.  While I'm not overjoyed that it's being made, it does look as though it may be good.  The trailer makes it look darker than the original.  I've heard it's supposed to be more true to the book, which I'll admit I've never read.

I also have to wonder if they'll actually include this classic, if slightly corny, scene:
