Yes, I want to see this one. I feel like the Coens picked the right man for the job in Bridges as I think few actors could inhabit a character like this and take it past the attachment to John Wayne. Anything by the Coens gets me into a theater and this being a western only adds to the draw. I know pretty much what you know about it and it sounds like it may travel in No Country For Old Men territory. Haven't read the novel either but I did like the Wayne film.

For what its worth a few other films I'm looking forward to:

Black Swan Tree of Life Fair Game

And I was very excited to see the new one from Paul Thomas Anderson, The Master, but sadly that's been indefinitely postponed.
