Grit, Gotten

After a nationwide, web-based casting call to fill the young female lead of the Coen brothers' remake of True Grit, the filmmaking duo have settled on 13-year-old Hailee Steinfeld. She'll be playing Mattie Ross, who teams up with U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) to hunt down her father's killer. That typing sound you hear is Adam Shankman texting her reps about her availability as an Oscar presenter. [Deadline]
