well, just found this on the web : From the Cohen brothers !

the same story but without John Wayne.........does it's look as great as the original ?

[Pentaro]

Well, I like Jeff Bridges, and the story suits the Coens perfectly. I was quite excited about this for a minute, until I realised that they could have made a completely new film for the same price. We have too many remakes already.

[Quendil]

I must admit I am now completely fed up with all the remakes, surely they could have done and original movie.

[Malamute]

I saw the trailer last night at the cinema. I must say I was originally very, very concerned about the remake as the original is such an iconic western and how to do you replace John Wayne?
The new film apparently stays more faithful to the book and does look quite promising, so I will definitely go and see it. Its not often you get a decent Western made in this day and age

[Plynkes]

Looks quite cool, and I really like the Coen Brothers.

But...

I have remake fatigue. I'm not helping to pay for any more remakes on principle from now on. My cash is only going to people who are doing more than just rehashing old stuff. Not interested, sorry.

Yes, but I adore the Coen brothers as they most often gets it done just so.

[Hammers]

To be honest, Oh brother where art thou was also a remake ...

Yes, I'd heard that too 

I've been looking forward to this one since I first heard they were making it.
The Coen brothers films are usually great on so many levels:
O Brother Where Art Thou 
The Big Lubowski  (also with Jeff Bridges)

Also not a fan of remakes and I would usually laugh at any attempt to remake a good John Wayne movie but...this looks fantastic!

[Driscoles]

yieha and its with



Honestly ...
Iam looking forward to see this movie. Thats because I love the Dude more than the Duke !

[Uncle Mike]

Can't wait for what will be another fantastic Cohen movie.

...Thats because I love the Dude more than the Duke !

HERETIC!

[Colonel Tubby]

As already stated why a remake? And one of Duke's finest at that! 

Oh well, at least its a new western and if a money spinner maybe it'll set off the usual 'follow my leader' trend that seems to dominate in Hollywood!

2011 - year of the westerns anyone?

Original well made westerns, yes.  Well crafted, slightly new slant re-makes, maybe.... Rehash with nothing to make it different enough to make you enjoy the story, No.

even the cohen have no more imagination for do better than a remake.........?
Strange.
by now, Hollywood is a big nest of lazy writers. Let's go to plunder what was done in the last century and let's make it revival with this material. Easy and cheap to make big money......
