After directing around forty films and acting in more than sixty movies, living legend Clint Eastwood will reportedly be donning the director’s hat for a film which is being described as the final film of his career. The movie is expected to land at Warner Bros. – the studio for which the Oscar-winning prolific filmmaker has been making films for the past 50 years.
Clint Eastwood’s final film will be set in a thriller format and has been titled ‘Juror #2’. The movie’s story boasts of an interesting premise. It revolves around a juror, who is on a murder trial. The protagonist learns that he might have caused the victim’s death and gets into a dilemma of whether to manipulate the jury and save himself, or tell the truth and turn himself in.
As of now, although it’s not absolutely certain that ‘Juror #2’ is going to be Clint Eastwood’s last film as a director, considering the fact that he’ll already be 93 years old in a few months, it’s most likely that it’ll be his final film. ‘Juror #2’ is going to be Clint Eastwood’s 40th film as a director.
When will Clint Eastwood begin filming for his next film ‘Juror #2’, is not yet confirmed. And as far as the film’s casting is concerned, that too is yet to be finalized. However, as per a source, the film would feature Nicholas Hoult (The Menu, X-Men: First Class) and Toni Collette (The Sixth Sense, Unbelievable).
Clint Eastwood started off his directorial journey with the 1971 psychological thriller movie ‘Play Misty for Me’.
