Gina Wilhelm Actress - Actress Search on for Coen Brothers Movie

Auditions are being held next Saturday in Lubbock, Texas, for an actress age 12 to 16 to play the role of Mattie Ross in the remake of "True Grit" being made by the Coen Brothers.

They are looking to make a movie truer to the original Charles Portis book than the John Wayne picture. Filming is set to begin in 2010.

The story will be told from Mattie's point of view, and this is likely part of a nationwide audition.

Casting director Rachel Tenner wants a photo to keep of the actress and only wants one parent or guardian. It is advisable that potential actresses read the book; it's very differen from the 1969 movie.
