I think I'll with hold judgement until I see the movie. First off, I like Jeff Bridges. I've heard a few things that lead me to believe he's not the typical Hollyweird flake, but thems was only rumors. I thought he did a decent job in Wild Bill portraying Bill Hickock. Naturally he wouldn't play Rooster the same way John Wayne did, cuz he ain't John Wayne. All I'm saying is cut the guy some slack. He'll either do a good job or not, who knows.
Put it this way. let's say all of us get a chance to play Rooster Cogburn. I'd bet a pretty penny not a one of use would play out the character in the same way. Doesn't mean it would be a bad job of it, just different.
