Looks like Jeff Bridge’s is likely to play Rooster Cogburn in the Coen’s upcoming adaptation of True Grit.  In an earlier post I speculated about who might play that role.  For Some reason Jeff Bridges never came up.  But fans of The Big Lebowski are probably stroking their marmots at the thought of this.

Things are heating up in the world of A Serious Man.  The film is having it’s international premiere this weekend at the Toronot International Film Festival.  New Stills, Clips, and Interviews are showing up all over the place.  I’ll try to get a few things down here in this post. 

First a Few Stills from the Film.  This is the first time we’re seeing Larry’s daughter and son. 

Here are some clips.

Here are a few interviews

Sorry for the overloaded post.   A lot to catch up on. 

Apparently Focus Features gets Web 2.0.  Not only are they tweeting about their upcoming films they’re setting up Fan Pages on Facebook for them as well.  Great place, after visiting Coenesque, to stay up to date on A Serious Man

I suggested in my previous post that we might have a hint at the A Serious Man poster based on the album art Apple’s using for the trailer.  Well, here’s a desktop background worthy version of that same still. 

Of course the big news today is that the trailer for A Serious Man has hit the interweb.  Not only that if you’re looking at the trailer on apple.com or itunes it includes the below album art.  Perhaps it’s a suggestion of what the poster might look like. 

Epic, Intense, Perhaps, best trailer ever?

Or get it in HD from Apple.  http://www.apple.com/trailers/focus_features/aseriousman/
