It’s a much edgier, darker interpretation of the original (think Miller’s Crossing or No Country for Old Men). Making the same movie, only updated doesn’t interest me personally. I welcome a different telling of the story.
Anyway, my favorite John Wayne films of all time:
Rio Bravo
The Searchers
The Commancheros
Big Jake

Simply the best and most moving from the heart. The Duke played himself well, and with his own mortality watching him as he acted, it affected his performance in a way few actors can ever come close to.

Personally I like El-Dorado better. We could have a brew and easily discuss that untill dawn.
I know all about the Coen Brother movies. But if they turn this into something dark and unpleasant, they are seriously misinterpreting the book - which is a delight and a classic. The original film (despite its flaws) understood the book’s merits.
