Joel and Ethan Coen will direct True Grit, the iconic Western that won John Wayne an Oscar.
According to reports, the movie will be more faithful to the Charles Portis book than the 1969 film. The novel centers on a 14-year-old girl who - along with a veteran U.S. marshal - tracks her father's killer into hostile Indian territory.

Really, movie goers?!?
For some reason, Nicolas Cage's most recent mailed-in effort, Knowing, topped the box office this weekend. Here's a look at the complete top five:
People ran to the box office this weekend to see Knowing. We have no idea why.
Peter Segal will be behind the camera for Little Fockers.
The Get Smart director will take the lead on the third installment of the Meet the Parents franchise. He replaces Jay Roach at the helm.
According to Variety, Segal was expecting to direct a Get Smart sequel, but scheduling problems for star Steve Carell have put that project on hold.
John Hamburg, writer and director of I Love You, Man, has already penned the script for Little Fockers. No release date has been set yet.
On May 21, We Fight Back.
So states the latest poster revealed by Warner Bros. Pictures for Terminator Salvation.
The film is directed by McG and stars Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Bryce Dallas Howard, Moon Bloodgood and Common.
Saw VI is moving closer and closer to production.
Here's what Twisted Pictures producer Mark Burg had to say about the project:
"Shawnee Smith [as Amanda] is [back] in 'Saw VI.' There are several new characters. Also, this movie is a lot more violent than the previous five. Lastly, we have traps that pit victims against each other like the opening of 'Saw V.' Could be the best script yet!"
Kevin Greutert will direct the horror movie. It will begin filming in Canada on March 30 and will be released in October.
This movie has three big budget movies starring big name actors. What an amazing weekend for movie goers and a terrible battle for these movies.

Just Long has join the cast of New Line's new romantic comedy, Going the Distance, according to Variety.
The premise of the very mediocre sounding comedy is that a man and woman, who are in a long distance relationship each slowly come to realize that they'd be happier with someone closer.
Long was most recently in another romantic comedy He's Just Not That Into You and will next be in Sam Raimi's return to horror, Drag Me to Hell.
I Love You, Man opens in theaters and if that weren't enough to keep you laughing, Paul Rudd and Jason Segel did a hilarious interview with Coming Soon that you have to read. Here's a small excerpt from the interview:
ComingSoon.net: Did you guys know this relationship would work while you were still working on "Forgetting Sarah Marshall?"?
Segel: It started a little bit during "Knocked Up," and we didn't have very much screen time but we were on the set together a lot, and then "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," it was cool, it was an insulated environment and we were shooting at the same hotel we stayed at so after shooting every day we'd go hang out at the pool bar and we'd really start to get to know each other better then. I think that's where we got a real chance to improv together a lot and I think we both felt like we were good foils for each other. I think that we're complementary as actors and then once you know someone's rhythms like that it's sort of like a basketball team that's played together for five years. I know where Paul's gonna be when I need to do a no-look pass and he knows I'll catch the lob and dunk it home.
Rudd: For what it's worth I'm horrible at basketball.
Segel: He doesn't even understand my analogy.
CS: Has this film changed the way that you feel about man love?
Segel: Paul and I have never had an issue like that. I don't know. We're not alpha male type guys.
Rudd: I think that most of my friends for my entire life, we've been able to wear our hearts on our sleeves a little bit and might not be considered macho bullsh*t alpha male stuff.
Segel: When Jon Favreau was doing the movie we had an interviewer come to set and Paul and I were there and Jon Favreau is being interviewed and she asked him, "So do you consider yourself a guy's guy?" and he looked at Paul and I and said, "In this group I do!"
