IMDB has debuted a new batch of True Grit posters, mostly of the character variety. We get a nice straightforward image of each of the major players in the story, with the old west “wanted poster” theme still running through. They also sort of meet in the middle for a cast poster that actually rings kind of false when you can see the individual posters and know they’ve been photoshop’d together (and the damn bullet hole!). They’re good images and get across the textured, somber vibe well enough (even if I think we’re in for plenty of that unique brand of Coen humor), but I’m much happier with the new international poster, which is a more interesting variation on the poster we’ve seen before…
The subtlety of adding the landscape and removal of the cheesy blood-dripping bullet hole is enough to take an image I thought was kind of obvious and boring and turn it into something much classier to represent the film. You can see the other (enlargeable) posters below, and make sure to check out IMDB’s slideshow and coverage of the film.

Did'nt realise John C reilly was in this!
saw the trailer at the weekend. must see.
blah blah viagra blah blah.
The tagline is asinine
"punishment comes one way or another" ugh
damon looks like he has a small brown penis growing from his hip
The spambot makes an interesting point.
Yeah, the international version is better. We know what these folks look. The tagline does suggest that the silly bullet hole is actually a bleeding anus.
Even though Bridges seems to have finally learned how to act his way out of a paper bag, and Damon is involved, I really doubt I need to see this. If anyone will end up convincing me otherwise it will be from this site. …But it's going to take a lot.
