It has been many years since I saw El Topo when it first came out. I very much enjoy reading what you find out about all the projects being developed and made. A huge difference, wouldn't you agree? Keep up the good work on your site. They were making a film about gratuitous violence. So the Coen's were not 'injecting gratuitous violence' into the film. That this is not a country for old men or for anybody else for that matter because of the fact regarding all the heavy and (gratuitous) violence that has become a way of life here. That's the whole point of the book and the film. It's the choice of 'gratuitous' where you go astray especially in referencing No Country For Old Men. This time I wonder why you would say the Coen's 'have experience injecting "gratuitous" violence into the most serene landscapes (Fargo and No Country For Old Men)'. But once again, I find myself disagreeing with your personal opinions and/or assessments. It really is the best film site I've come across. We'll keep you updated on any further developments.Īgain, I compliment you on your superb web. And it sounds like True Grit is already something to look forward to.

Even though they may not win an Oscar this year (though they definitely deserve to win for A Serious Man), the Coens are certainly still at the top of their game making movie after moving with no break. Sounds like a triple threat and I just can't wait to see the first frames of film once it goes into production. From the sounds of it, the Coens will be going all the way back to the book for their adaptation, focusing more on the violence and the comedy, less on the John Wayne side of things. "I don't actually remember the movie too well, but I do remember it as being much more of a standard western, and the book is just an oddity. The Coens definitely have enough experience in injecting some gratuitous violence into the most serene landscapes ( Fargo, No Country for Old Men) so we can see how this is a comfortable fit for the directing duo. Joel went on to comment on how he doesn't recall the film capturing the quirks that the book contains:
Which is part of what's interesting about it." "Another way in which it's a little bit different from the movie - and maybe this is just because of the time the movie was made - is that it's a lot tougher and more violent than the movie reflects. You see the main character - the little girl - 25 years later when she's an adult." It also ends differently than the movie did. I think much funnier than the movie was so I think, unfortunately, they lost a lot of humour in both the situations and in her voice. That sort of tips the feeling of it over a certain way. The book is entirely in the voice of the 14-year-old girl. "It's partly a question of point-of-view. So in the interview, Ethan decided to clear things up: What the trades haven't seemed to pick up or clarify, however, is the presentation style that this story will take on and how it is different from the original film in its more accurate portrayal of the source material (the 1968 Charles Portis novel of the same name). Jeff, Matt and Josh, that's true - something that you read in the trades that actually turns out to be true!"
On the casting announcements, without hesitation, Joel Coen said: "Yes. After it was announced IGN took it upon themselves to get this info straight from the horse's mouth, and the Coens went even further to offer up some more details on the story and poke a little fun at the entertainment trades (Variety / Hollywood Reporter). Just yesterday we tipped you off about the recent talks of Matt Damon and Josh Brolin joining Jeff Bridges in the Coen Brothers remake of the classic 1969 western True Grit that starred John Wayne.
