One of my favourite all time movies is being remade..

Tru Grit ...... John Wayne's best movie.

It seems that the remake trend is taking off agian..

New versions of The Green Hornet, Judge Dredd and Superman are also on the way..

Going back to True Grit ....

Does anyone remeber the movie ?

Do you usually prefer remakes or the original ?

Kato? I thought that was Inspector Clouseau's houseboy.

He may have been a nancy boy with pecs, but he was a great human being and I really admired the way he handled himself after the accident..

Dont remember the Movie but remember that Neo Con John Wayne.. Always used to like him as young boy.. Then when I heard his statements in real life kind of shattered my image of this great actor...:(

Ben Afleck was Daredevil.... Not The Green Hornet.

The Green Hornet was a TV series in the late sixties with Bruice lee as the sidekick...

It is what you learn from movie, most the American movies increase your brain flatness

Oh wait this is about True Grit. I think I must have seen it on tv once but don't remember it at all.

Did John Wayne wear an eyepatch?

I don't think John Wayne is a good actor, he is red neck.

What's that movie all about?:) first time i heard that..

anyway,it depends upon the twist in the remake,almost always originals are better but remakes are beautiful if portrayed by a very good actor & directed by someone really creative but keep the story intact..

True Grit with John Wayne as marshal, "Rooster" Cogburn was superb..

Great scene with him astride a horse riding into the badies with both guns firing..

Watch it if you get the chance..

I think I wasn't even born yet when this movie was made... but in most cases, I always prefer the originals...
