True Grit - the remake.

[Texas_Bryan]

How weird, their building all the sets, a whole western town from what I understand, out here at Spiderwood Studios for this picture.  One of my guys contracts out there and mentioned the western town construction for a True Grit remake.  I've been promised a trip out there some time, if it happens I'll sneak pictures.

Tom Selleck was great in the ones he did, pretty much how I visualized Tell Sackett when I read the books 

And Sam Elliot as his brother.

I thought this was a really neat video showing the actual places where a lot of the scenes in "True Grit" were shot, and how they looked then, and now. Pretty interesting to anyone who saw and liked the movie.  Bill T.

It's amazing how much of the landscape has remained much the same after 40 years. Unfortunately the same cannot be said of Kim Darby.  Bill T.

Your lovely wife may look just as good as back in the day, but there has been a notable lack of photos of yourself.
FQ13 who is just sayin'

Actually Darby doesn't look all that bad for what I'm guessing to be close to 60. Although I doubt the lack of a single grey hair is natural.  Bill T.

Women seem to change a bit more than men. This is Hawaiian singer Liz Damon taken in 1971 for her album cover.



And today, 39 years later.



Still, not too bad really. She looks "more Hawaiian" in the younger photo.

Doesn't sound too bad either. Much better than the crap they produce today.   Bill T.
