Coen Brothers remaking John Wayne's "True Grit"

[Sussudio]

As their next film, Joel and Ethan Coen will put their spin on "True Grit," the iconic Western that won John Wayne an Oscar.

Not a traditional remake, the Paramount film will be more faithful to the Charles Portis book than the 1969 pic, also distributed by Par.

Portis' novel is about a 14-year-old girl who, along with an aging U.S. marshal and another lawman, tracks her father's killer in hostile Indian territory.

But while the original film was a showcase for Wayne, the Coens' version will tell the tale from the girl's p.o.v.

If anyone could do this I'd say it's the Coens, but I'm curious to see who they get to play John Wayne's character (even if it isn't told from his point of view)...
