Joe Namath co-starred.

Watching it just seems like a 1960's western instead of a "western" Western. The stunt casting of Glen Campbell is particularly gruesome. <br /><br />Another great Wayne performance was for his last one "The Shootist".Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16428037962558693199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31771970.post-13167082407496411142009-10-27T11:09:42.109-05:002009-10-27T11:09:42.109-05:00I hope whoever they pick does more for the role th...I hope whoever they pick does more for the role than Kim Darby did!

As you discovered, they're not remaking a John Wayne movie, they're making a Coen movie based on the Portis novel. There is nothing about this that isn't awesome and the new (potential) casting just gets me even more excited.<br /><br />I wonder who they'll get for Mattie.Craig Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00924813294666616097noreply@blogger.com
