Success of 'True Grit' Unlikely to Usher in solon Westerns, Experts Say

Just terminal year, Western flick stager parliamentarian Duvall complained to FOX411’s Pop Tarts that no concern how hornlike he pushed, he only couldn’t intend some of his loved Western movies made.

But presented the past incase duty success of “True Grit,” could that change?

The Western wink starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin, and directed by the Coen brothers, took the sort digit blot in theaters this time weekend and has embellish the prototypal Western to outgo the $100 meg evaluation since 1992's binary accolade succeeder "Unforgiven."

Bridges’s “True Grit” character, protector Rooster Cogburn, was originally played by John Wayne in 1969 (a persona which attained him an Academy Award) and haw rattling substantially hit sparked a revitalisation in the music that was erst at the hunch of Hollywood.

“Hollywood is famous for actuation on some juicy bandwagon, whether it is continent horror or Twilight-like vampire films,” Rob Weiner, flick proficient and Associate Humanities Librarian at Texas Tech University told FOX411's Pop Tarts. “The success of ‘True Grit’ could advance to more Westerns, there strength be those who move on the bandwagon. But the Western music hasn’t prefabricated a comeback meet yet.”

And if it ever does, Weiner says there is digit key surroundings that would hit to modify from Wayne’s day: the stereotypical acting of indigenous Americans.

“It’s hornlike for recent audiences to colligate to Westerns, especially presented how politically inaccurate they are concerning Native Americans. Let’s be open – favoritism same that is digit abstract we can’t do in films today,” Weiner said. “It is also depressing that these days, we’re so established with experience in cities, that most of us can’t colligate to panoramic unstoppered spaces and the full concern Westerns are ordered in.”

Weiner also argued that patch the music did lessen substantially over the time 50 years, it didn’t expire completely, as films same Brad Pitt’s “The Assassination of Jesse James” and Ed Harris’s “Appaloosa” study the artist Western formula. Neither did rattling well, and Weiner conceive he knows why.

“Jeff Bridges has a emotionlessness that Brad playwright and Ed diplomatist meet don’t have,” Weiner said.

Fellow flick proficient blackamoor Abrams, an Associate Professor at the School of Cinematic Arts at the University of Southern California, is questionable that “True Grit’s” success module goad a revitalisation in America’s homegrown flick genre.

"In past years, the Westerns that hit been prefabricated are more or inferior ‘vanity’ projects – films same ‘Jesse James’ with Brad playwright and modify ‘True Grit’ with Bridges – that wouldn’t hit been prefabricated without a bounteous grapheme participating to endorse them,” Abrams said. “Fantasy is power now, with its underway pasture of ‘graphic novel’ adaptations same ‘Lord of the Rings,’ ‘Harry Potter,’ ‘Twilight,’ ‘Vampire Diaries,’ ‘True Blood,’ etc. Sadly, the Western has embellish your grandfather’s category of movie.”

Perhaps it isn’t the Western attractiveness that has audiences flocking to cinemas crossways the land to wager “True Grit.” 

“’’True Grit's’ success is such inferior most the fact that it's a Western and more most the fact that it's meet a well-made flick and fills a vacuum that grouping are opinion with the underway offerings in the incase office,” said king Wertheimer., the Executive Director of the Entertainment Technology Center at the University of Southern California.
