I'm not one to have strong feelings on remakes, one way or another. They're either good (3:10 To Yuma, Ocean's 11) - or they're bad (Planet Of The Apes, Willy Wonka, Bad News Bears).
That said, I do sometimes catch myself thinking certain films shouldn't be remade ever -classics that define a genre, director, performance, era, etc. Because True Grit is one of my favorites, as well as being so well liked for so many years, I always sort of thought of it as a never remake film.
That was - until I saw this; http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/paramount/truegrit/ .
It looks like it surpasses the original on every level. Bridges looks perfect in the role, the girl comes across as ten times more believable, and Damon seems like the perfect choice for a sort of good guy.
Really looking forward to this one.
