True Grit Trailer

We posted the err, poster for True Grit the other day, which you can view here. I’ve also managed to dig out the trailer for the film (which happens to be the second one – released just yesterday), which looks pretty damn good. Is it a sign of getting old when westerns start looking good? I used to hate them as a kid.

Here’s the synopsis:
A 14-year-old girl (Hailee Steinfeld) joins an aging U.S. marshal (Jeff Bridges) and another lawman (Matt Damon) in tracking her father’s killer into hostile Indian territory in Joel and Ethan Coen’s adaptation of Charles Portis’ original novel. Sticking more closely to the source material than the 1969 feature adaptation starring Western icon John Wayne, the Coens’ True Grit tells the story from the young girl’s perspective, and re-teams the celebrated filmmaking duo with their No Country for Old Men producing partner Scott Rudin. Josh Brolin and Barry Pepper co-star.
