I know what I’m doing on Christmas Day

Posted on 29 September 2010 by Eliza, Associate Editor

In February I posted about the Coen Brothers’ adaptation of Charles Portis’ 1968 novel True Grit. Yesterday, Paramount released the first trailer—and I gotta admit, I’m pumped. (I was skeptical about the choice to cast a non-Southerner as Mattie Ross, but it looks like Hailee Steinfeld can hold her own.) What do you think? The movie comes out on December 25, 2010.

From Never Let Me Go to The Social Network to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I to True Grit, fall 2010 is packed with book-to-film adaptations. Which movie are you most excited about?

    I’d watch anything the Coen brothers are associated with. Twice.
