Great news, 93-year-old Clint Eastwood has been spotted in Georgia as he embarks on what many are calling his final film, “Juror #2.”
Eastwood will direct and produce the film. WSAV confirmed the news as Eastwood was seen on 40th Street, with images showing the actor “wearing a button-down shirt, khakis, and sneakers”.
A few months back, THR had reported that Eastwood “wanted to find one last project in order to be able to ride off into the sunset with his head held high.” He found the script for “Juror #2” and said this is “the one”. This will probably be the narrative used by Warner Bros. during this, or next year’s, awards season: “Clint’s final film”.
“Juror #2” stars Toni Collette, Nicholas Hoult, Kiefer Sutherland and Zoey Deutch. The film is “set during a murder trial where one of the jurors slowly realizes he killed the victim in a reckless-driving accident and tries to save the defendant without incriminating himself.”
This is set to be Eastwood’s 40th film as a director and it’s been a long and illustrious career for the movie legend. Some of his classics include “Unforgiven,” “Mystic River,” “Million Dollar Baby,” “Gran Torino,” “High Plains Drifter,” “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” “A Perfect World,” and “Pale Rider.”
He used to direct a film per year, but his last one was 2021’s mediocre “Cry Macho”. This has led to speculation about his health. Hey, he’s healthy enough to make abother movie …
Clint just needs to sit in the directors chair and point. That’s all. John Huston did it with an oxygen tank on his final film, 1987’s “The Dead.” So did Robert Altman with 2006’s “Prairie Home Companion.”
If you don’t think Eastwood still has one last great movie in him then you were probably not a fan of his last few, especially “Richard Jewell” and “The Mule” — both great.
Ritchie and Statham have collaborated on six movies so far in their careers, so this will be lucky number seven. The others include “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels,” “Snatch,” and “Wrath of Man.”
