We are remembering #CharlesPortis, who passed away five years ago today. Portis is best known as the author of “True Grit” (though perhaps best loved as the author of cult favorite “The Dog of the South”).

Blimey, not again!? The Coen Brothers' film True Grit is not a 'remake'; it is an original adaptation of the 1968 novel by #CharlesPortis. Michael Cera reportedly has the rights to #MastersOfAtlantis, so we might be seeing another Portis original adaptation.
