| | | | it's not actually a remake
and the Coen Bros are behind it, so there's a pretty good chance this will turn out well |

EDIT: Its based on the same book, with the same title, with the same characters, and the same plot, so I'd say that's a remake.

What's next, one of the Twilight dudes remaking Dirty Harry? 
God Bless, Ray

| | I play the electric tuba. | | Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Cleveland | | | the whole beauty of that movie is that John Wayne played a character so at odds with his normal type that it made the audience appreciate him even more.
Like Denzel Washington in "Training Day"

Also Matt Damon and Jeff Bridges are both great actors (a heckuva lot better at acting than John Wayne, that's for sure).
