We had the trailer late last week, and now In Contention has debuted the first teaser poster for the Coen Brothers’ True Grit, and it’s a beauty. Very much a minimalist effort, the poster recalls old-fashioned western wanted flyers. Although I think it’s safe to say we’ll get more traditional poster as the film nears its January UK release, it’ll be difficult to beat the simplicity of this. Take a look at it below.
Jeff Bridges takes on John Wayne’s Oscar winning role of Rooster Cogburn in this remake of the 1969 film, who is hired by young Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) to go into Indian territory and track down her father’s killer. The Coens’ film is said to cleave closer to the original book than the John Wayne movie, telling the story through Mattie’s eyes. True Grit, which also stars Matt Damon and Josh Brolin, will hit UK cinemas on January 14th, 2011.
