LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- U.S. actors Matt Damon and Josh Brolin are in
talks to star in the Coen brothers' upcoming remake of the classic
western, "True Grit," sources told Variety.
Jeff Bridges reportedly already has been chosen to fill John Wayne's
boots as the film's hard-drinking, tough-talking hero, U.S. Marshal
Rooster Cogburn, who is hired by a spunky 14-year-old girl to find her
father's killer.
Damon is in talks to play the lawman who helps them out, while Brolin
is up for the role of the killer, Variety said. Glen Campbell and Jeff
Corey played the respective roles in the 1969 original.
The movie is to begin production next March for a 2010 release.
Brolin previously collaborated with filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen on
the Oscar-winning film, "No Country for Old Men." Bridges worked with
them on "The Big Lebowski."
