The new movie of Coen brothers: remake?

Joel and Ehan Coen will direct a remake of the True Grit western, the 1969 movie which bought John Wayne his only Oscar of his career. British newspaper Daily Mail, which talked with the two stage directors, says that their new project isn’t actually a remake .. it is a remade, because the brothers actually want to make justice to the novel carrying the same name of Charles Portis, about an old girl which tells her life story. When she was only 14, she gone from her family’s farm to avenge the murder of her father. “The book says the story of the girl”, stated Joel Coen for Daily Mail. “In he movie with John Wayne she is interpreted by an older actress. We want someone of her age in the novel – it is her story!” said Joel Coen. This moment there isn’t any scenario for the film, so at least a few years will pass until the project will be produced. In the present the brothers are working at A Serious Man for Focus Features, with American premiere programmed for October, and their next movie is The Yiddish Policeman’s Union, a movie inspired by famous novel of Michael Chabon.
