  So Damon would be playing the part originally played by Glen Cambell and Brolin will be playing the part originally played by Robert Duvall.

  I can easily see Brolin in a western, as it is familar ground for him….. I DO NOT think that Jeff Bridges can fill the Duke’s shoes tho!

  yeah, Brolin will be playing the part of Chenney, not Lucky Ned Pepper. and this movie will be horrible, no one can replace the Duke!

  Josh Brolin would make the better Cogburn and Damon should be the killer. By the by, doesn’t this mean Bridges will have to kill Damon half way through the movie? My memory’s a little hazy…

  I’m really disappointed that the Coen brothers, who are some of the most original filmmakers in the biz, are now in the business of doing remakes. I thought they were better than that.

    You DO realize “The Ladykillers” was a remake, right? Granted, it wasn’t one of their better-received movies, but it was still a remake.

    That being said, they ARE some of the most original filmmakers out there and I’m sure they’ll bring their own twist to it.

  I’m without doubt going to see it! I was never lucky enough to see him perform in concert so this will be the next best thing! Can’t wait!

  They need to put in a brand new fresh face for the part of Matty. I think it would be more beleavable NOT to have a known girl actor in that part.
