Today saw the release of the teaser trailer for Joel and Ethan Coen's eagerly anticipated adaptation of Charles Portis' True Grit, best known for the prior 1969 adaptation that won John Wayne his only Oscar. Most of the trailer's attention is given to newcomer Hailee Steinfeld, who plays Mattie Ross, a young girl who hires an alcoholic U.S. marshal (Jeff Bridges) and a Texas ranger (Matt Damon) to help her find the hired hand (Josh Brolin) who killed her father. The trailer gives us our first good look at Damon and Brolin, as well as flashes of the climactic horse-gunfight, which fans of the book and '69 movie may remember as one of the most badass things in human history. Enjoy.
