HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Comedian Steve Carell is par for the course. He's taking on a leading role in Warner Bros.' "Missing Links," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The golf comedy is based on a novel from ESPN's Rick Reilly.

The plot centers on a group of scrappy golf buddies who concoct a plot, which will get them access to better courses.

Meanwhile, Variety reports that Matt Damon and Josh Brolin are in talks to join the remake of 1969's Western "True Grit," which is slated to begin production next March. Jeff Bridges is reportedly already attached to the project as a U.S. marshal. The original starred John Wayne, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, Jeff Corey and Glen Campbell.

    True Grit does NOT need to be remade. It stands in a class of its own as a fantastic Western -- and I'm not even a John Wayne fan.

    Great actors, bad decision, some movie should not be re-made. Who could top the "Duke". Everyone will compare the performance & no matter how good it is, well John Wayne is an icon, who can top that! True Grit was one of his best.
