Paramount tosses its hat into the Oscar ring with the first teaser for the Western remake True Grit [TGRIT] now up on Apple. The Coen Brothers [COEN] looks to have constructed another haunting tale of desperation and retribution. Newcomer Hailee Steinfeld plays a fourteen-year-old girl who enlists the help of a drunken U.S. Marshal to avenge the death of her father by finding the killer before a Texas Ranger catches him first. The most recent Academy Award winner for Best Actor, Jeff Bridges [JBRID] stars in the U.S. Marshal role that won John Wayne his Oscar for Best Actor. James Brolin [JBROL] co-stars as the killer with Matt Damon [MDAMO] as the Ranger.
