Hope it's another good Coen film, still can't enjoy A Serious Man. Bridges makes most films worth watching.

Count me in - I love the John Wayne version, and am dying to find out what the Coen Brothers do with it. There's an impressive cast too!

Westerns aren't a popular genre anymore, but it looks as if this one is eagerly anticipated by a lot of people, and the word Oscar ia already being bandied around by those who have only seen the trailer!


The cast includes Matt Damon, Josh Brolin and Barry Pepper, but the two true leads are Jeff Bridges as Marshal Cogburn and 14-year-old Hailee Steinfeld as Mattie, whom the Coens went on a casting search to find.

I'm looking forward to seeing Jeff Bridges riding alongside Matt Damon, Josh Brolin and Barry Pepper - also keen to see how Bridges plays the role so famously portrayed by John Wayne. He's a hard act to follow, but I think if anyone can give it a shot, it's Jeff Bridges.

It's already the biggest hit for the Coen Brothers in the States and I am really curious why now? There've always been brilliant but niche and also Westerns have been quite niche recently too (although this film is not really a western per se). It should be interesting and it's getting more notice at the awards ceremony now compared to earlier on in the awards season
