Which is much better than California.

But, hey, with today’s CGI they could film the movie in my backyard — Nova Scotia — and make it look like Arkansas. (Or Mars, for that matter.)

I definitely understand your point, but I think we can trust the Coens to make sure the movie looks geographically accurate.

Smith AR and son of a Federal Marshall whose assignment was the Indian Territory (both True Grit settings), laughed himself sick about the old John Wayne version, which was clearly shot in California mountains – not the true landscape. I hope the Coens got that part right!
