Here’s a first look at Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn in The Coen Brother’s True Grit, currently filming in Granger, TX.
One of our readers, James, was back on set yesterday, here’s his latest update:
Today (5/3) I went back to the set for a few hours and watched them film two scenes. The first since was a scene of the hanging of 3 men the second scene was with Jeff Bridges who had just arrived to the set, but I never saw him with the an eyepatch. No Matt, but I hear that he will be there tomorrow. The crew and cast will be in Granger until Thursday and then will film somewhere else in Texas.
[Thanks again to James for the updates]
[…] On Location Vacations has the first images we’ve seen of Bridges in costume as Rooster Cogburn, the hard-drinking, trigger-happy man hired by a young girl to avenge her murdered father. John Wayne played the original screen version of the character, which became one of his signature roles. (Winning an Oscar for it helped. If you’ve never seen it, watch Wayne’s speech, which is one of the great, moving acceptance speeches.) But he looked quite a bit different than this. […]
