Who do you get to fill the massive boots of John Wayne, especially when Wayne won his only Oscar for that particular massive boot-wearing role?  Well, if you’re the Coen Brothers you could just say, “We’re the Coen Brothers and we’ll cast whoever we goddamn please and you will like it.”  But instead they’ve cast a man and it’s Jeff Bridges and I won’t do the whole opening monologue from “The Big Lebowski”.  Just hit the jump for the news about this delightful casting.
