The Dude As The Duke?? THE BIG LEBOWSKI’s Jeff Bridges To Reteam With The Coens For TRUE GRIT??

I am – Hercules!!

Jeff Bridges may slap on an eye patch to play Rooster Cogburn in the Coen Bros.’ remake of “True Grit.”

Yes, the 1969 original is one of my favorite John Wayne pictures, and I’d probably hate the idea of a remake if I didn’t have so much faith in Joel and Ethan.

Bridges, of course, played The Dude in the Coens’ “The Big Lebowski,” a film I enjoyed; not sure about anybody else.

Based on the 1968 novel by Charles Portis, “Grit” follows a bad-tempered U.S. marshal from 1873 Arkansas to Oklahoma Indian territory on a quest to track down the murderer of a teen girl’s dad.

For the Glen Campbell role I nominate Jorge Garcia.
