The Dude as The Duke
When I heard that The Coen Brothers were doing a remake of the John Wayne classic True Grit, my first reaction was “I’ve got a bad feeling about this” ( to coin the catchphrase of Bollo The Gorilla from The Mighty Boosh)
This trepidation was based on the fact that my least favourite Coens film to date is The Ladykillers which was a pale imitation of the original Ealing Comedy with Tom Hanks hamming up the role immortalised by Sir Alec Guinness.
But after learning that Jeff Bridges was taking the Wayne part of Rooster Cogburn I started to come around to the idea.
