True Grit is a 2010 American Western film directed, written, produced, and edited by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen. It is an adaptation of Charles Portis' 1968 novel of the same name. Starring Jeff Bridges as Deputy U.S. Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn and with young new actress Hailee Steinfeld (in her theatrical film debut) as Mattie Ross. The film also stars Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Barry Pepper. A previous famous film adaptation in 1969 starred John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell (also won Wayne his first and only "Best Actor" Academy Award ("Oscar") the following year in 1970). Fourteen-year-old precocious Arkansas farm girl Mattie Ross hires Cogburn, a grizzled, boozy, trigger-happy, mean and nasty lawman, to go after murderer / robber outlaw Tom Chaney who has murdered her father Frank Ross, while those two were on a trip to Fort Smith, Arkansas to purchase horses. The bickering duo of peace officer and United States Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn and teen-ager Mattie who had employed him are soon accompanied on their quest by a Texas Ranger named LaBoeuf who has been tracking Chaney for almost a year for killing a Texas state senator on his porch and also has his own personality gripes and disputes with Marshal Cogburn. As the three embark on a dangerous hunt and adventure, they each have their "grit" tested in various ways. They find out that Chaney has joined up with another criminal gang led by "Lucky Ned" Pepper robbing a train and escaped to the adjacent lawless Indian Territory where only Federal law and U.S. Marshals have authority. Filming began in March 2010, and the film was officially released in the United States on December 22, 2010, after advance screenings earlier that month.[5] The film opened the 61st Berlin International Film Festival on February 10, 2011.[6] It received positive reviews by critics with particular praise for its acting, directing, story, score, and production values, with some deeming it superior to the earlier adaptation. It was nominated for ten Academy Awards, but won none: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor in a Leading Role (Bridges), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Steinfeld), Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Sound Editing. The film was released on Blu-ray and DVD format film discs on June 7, 2011.
