Charles Portis' novel True Grit returns to the big screen in 2010 with Jeff Bridges in the role of hard-drinking, straight-talking U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn, Hailee Steinfeld as tough-as-nails 14 year old Mattie Ross who's out to avenge the murder of her father by Chaney (Josh Brolin), and Matt Damon as a Texas Ranger named LaBoeuf who throws a wrench into Mattie's plans by wanting to bring in Chaney alive. Portis' book was brought to the screen back in 1969 with John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn (a role which earned him his only Oscar) and Glen Campbell as La Boeuf, but the writing/directing team of Joel and Ethan Coen say their film isn't a remake of the 1969 film. They've kept faithful to the book while weaving their film version of Portis' Western tale.Read the article: Jeff Bridges, Hailee Steinfeld, Josh Bridges, Barry Pepper and the Coen Brothers discuss True Grit
