I can't believe they chose the one and only film that wayne won an oscar for to remake. It is a John Wayne movie. Matt Damon said he had never seen the movie with John Wayne. My thought is of course he hasn't. He is a left wing hollywood weirdo. Probably better that they haven't. Last thing I'd want is them aping the original. Let them play the characters as they envision them in accordance with the screenplay and director's vision. I don't want to see Jeff Bridges playing John Wayne playing Rooster. I want to see Jeff playing Rooster....

I don't want to see Jeff Bridges playing John Wayne playing Rooster. I want to see Jeff playing Rooster.... Thank you for nailing it sir. For those of you still stuck on stupid, the new movie is looking to be a more accurate retelling of the novel. It is NOT a remake of the Wayne film. They are both just based on the same book. There are lots of movie versions of "Romeo and Juliet" and "A Christmas Story". Each new film isn't a remake of the previous one, they are simply different film adaptations of the same book. Brian.

trying to remake any John Wayne movies is a big mistake -- look at red river - there are some movies better off - left alone - Az

I'd personally like to see a remake of "The Conqueror" with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Genghis Khan. He'd look really badass with a Fu Manchu... ![[Linked Image]](http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTgzMDc5MTE2M15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTc4OTYxMQ@@._V1._SX214_CR0,0,214,314_.jpg)

It literally took me a solid 30 minutes to figure out that one of the main villans in the film is played by (you guessed it) Paul Ruebens, aka Pee Wee Herman. Brian.

He was good as a drug dealer in "Blow". He plays creepy roles far too well.

i'm "stuck on stupid"- leave john wayne movies alone. I've yet to see a hathaway weekend on TBS or 24 hours of jeff bridges anywhere, but i see 24 hour run of the duke at least once a year and look forward to it everytime.
Absolutely nothing better than a rainy sunday afternoon and either John Wayne or Jimmy Stewart unless it was both of them in a movie together.

I love most John Wayne movies. I really liked True Grit and Wayne's portrayal of Rooster Cogburn.
Glen Campbell about ruins it for me every time I watch it. I'll be glad to give another director a chance at showing me he can put together a better version of the film adaptation of the NOVEL.
Give it up, Brian. No amount of schooling is going to get through some folks' thick heads...

Somedays it feels like I'd be more productive if I just watched The Home Shopping Network for 8 hours with toothpicks holding my eyes open, than trying to get a point across to the boneheads here. It's a losing battle. Brian.

O It was a TV movie. Apparantly it sucked pretty bad, because I can't find a version of it anywhere online. Brian.

Could have been built around any actor, and not been the same.
Kind of like saying Breakfast at Tiffany's or The African Queen could have been built around any other pairing.
Yeah, they could have. Fortunately, they were not. ROGER THAT!

The whole John Wayne thing aside, based on the trailer I don't think I can sit through an hour and a half of listening to Jeff Bridges talking like he has a mouth-full of chit.
