Rooster Cogburn rides again.

Overlook Press, which has reprinted Charles Portis's True Grit with an afterword by novelist Donna Tartt, reports that the Coen brothers are planning to remake this classic western (Adam Sandler had better not be cast as the legendary lawman. Is Sam Elliott available?).

True Grit is an entry on the Telegraph's list of "100 Books Every Child Should Read."
