Clint Eastwood directing Juror #2

Clint Eastwood reportedly directing Juror #2 as his final movie - IMDb (https://www.imdb.com/news/ni64019195/)

The project is a legal thriller currently titled Juror #2, which is said to follow “a juror on a murder trial who realizes that he may have caused the victim’s death and must grapple with the dilemma of whether to manipulate the jury to save himself, or reveal the truth and turn himself in.” Eastwood is also said to be eyeing a young Hollywood star for the leading role.

As Eastwood hasn’t personally said anything about retiring, there’s always a chance that he might have another movie in him after this one.

This comes on the heels of covid era's box bomb "Cry Macho", which starred SpursforSix's mom as a plump but fiesty chicken battling and winning vs the forces of evil.

Shit, mother fucker is 92 years old. Compared to him, even Sean Connery would fit the description of "young Hollywood star" for the leading role.

Wait one, Sean is dead but then again, even dead he is livelier than Clint, so I am still good..

I think Clint got enough criticism from Cry Macho and will make this a good one.

I hope it’s good. But Cry Macho was so terrible that I can’t believe he hasn’t lost it.

At his age and physical condition, I highly doubt his name under the Director credit is anything more than a formality. He probably isn't doing any of the work himself. Besides that, his movies have been slipping for years and I wouldn't get my hopes up that this will be some masterpiece. He'd be better off spending his remaining time with his family.

Mostly agree with you.
Except i thought The Mule circa 2018 was excellent and would have been the best move for Clint to have bowed out on.

Do you think that while elderly, he knows Cry Macho was a bomb and a terrible way to go out? Thus as you suggested others are really directing this and it's just his name to try to undo the damage? I mean he's still going to be a legend.

I'm not saying he'll have nothing to do with the movie, but he will likely have much more help from other individuals on the day-to-day shooting than a director normally would have. And I think he's way beyond caring how his movies are received. He's earned his place and he's just doing what he wants to do.

Yeah...but I assumed he at least watched Cry Macho before it was released. Is that what he wanted to do? Make a movie with a bad plot, bad acting, and terrible lines. I can't think of anything worse that he's been associated with.
I just went through his directing credits and I was shocked at how many good/great movies he did. I had no idea that he directed 85% of those. There's not many bad movies in the list.

Read somewhere that many of the studio uppity ups and other management upper trash did get in trouble for being Yes Men / Yes Women / Yes they-them for not speaking out against Cry Macho as all the flaws were coming out in the early stages.

Clint after The Mule = Pop after Timmy Dunks and Prime Kwa got Zaza'd? :lol

He was directing a movie starring himself playing a character that was probably supposed to be three decades younger than he really is. I'm sure he was just fine with it. He even had a love story.

I agree that he's a legend that has directed a ton of really good movies. But other than Cry Macho and The Mule, he's fallen into a string of biopics... none of them all that noteworthy. And some are pretty bad (15:17 to Paris). I also feel like throughout his career, he's benefitted from selecting strong scripts and having a solid crew behind him. He's always been a fairly minimalist director (not that there's anything wrong with that), but his instincts are obviously not what they once were.

Numerous actors, and not just celebtards with peanut butter and gender changing medicine between their ears have said Clint is awesome at letting them be themselves and giving creative acting freedom.

[Millennial_Messiah]

I actually liked Cry Macho, but it was as anticlimactic as it gets for an action movie.

[Xevious]

Numerous actors, and not just celebtards with peanut butter and gender changing medicine between their ears have said Clint is awesome at letting them be themselves and giving creative acting freedom.

That's partly what I meant by minimalist. He always shot fast with very few takes. He didn't over think or over stylize anything, just trusted others to do their jobs.

Yeah...and this is fine. I don't think anyone is knocking Clint. He's a bus driver. And if he gets the right script and cast, he usually makes it work. That being said, I don't know that he deserved his Oscars for Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby. They were both good films but I'm not sure they were anything special. I'd have to go back and see what they were up against.

Million Dollar Baby was good... but probably one of those movies that wouldn't have won in a different year. Unforgiven absolutely deserved to win though.

[SpursforSix]

Million Dollar Baby was good... but probably one of those movies that wouldn't have won in a different year. Unforgiven absolutely deserved to win though.

yeah...looking at 1993, it was against The Crying Game, Howard's End (didn't see), The Player (didn't see), and Scent of a Woman.
Although not nominated were Glengarry Glen Ross, A Few Good Men, My Cousin Vinny. I liked Unforgiven but to me it wasn't a great movie. Imo.

[MultiTroll]

not nominated .... A Few Good Men.
:lol Hollywood

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Got to hand it to ol' Clint for still being functional at all at his age. These days most Americans his age are either dead or brain-dead from the crap we eat in this country.

Wow, not only directing but acting?

He ransacked that Locke girl, left her in a heap and got clean away with it, because MSM chose him instead of her.

Male parrots can be sterilized through neutering, but the process differs from a mammal. Parrots don’t have a penis, and their testicles are located internally in the coelomic cavity within the abdomen

Thinking about Harry last evening, the Dirty one. It's a genuine American masterpiece. The sequence when they extract the girl from the earth. They show her pubic patch from distance and it's just before dawn so it's in deep shadow. In the background is the Golden Gate and Harry is on the steep hillside. It's an amazing sequence of absolute.total.loss. But it is a testament of film. American film.

Siegel bankrolled and directed it and he knew. He'd know again 5 years later on our birthday when he dragged Wayne to it. At the last Wayne loads all chambers, heels up, polishes off the laudanum, bids goodbye to Bogart's widow and goes on down there. They're waitin' him there.

If Siegel doesn't do that...we're stuck with Wayne in that GD Pontiac with that GD bird decal spread all over the GD hood as our last remembrance. GD it. Instead we're left with the above and Stewart's (Doc Hostetler's) sage diagnosis & immediate prognosis..."You'll scream till you lose consciousness. Nothing will touch it."

Wayne's friend Pedro Armandariz also was forewarned years earlier (about screaming///nothing will touch it) and had a rifle smuggled into the same hospital that Wayne ended up in...blew his chest wide open so he wouldn't have to scream till he lost consciousness.

Wayne, in mirror image begged his sons to smuggle likewise into the L.A. Medical Center.
"No."

Only review I've seen so far on the Interweb.
It's good.
I only read the headline and 1st paragraph. That's all i want to know.
TIFWIW as this reviewer thought American Sniper was Clints best since 2014. I thought The Mule was.

‘Juror #2' Review: If This Riveting Courtroom Drama Becomes Clint Eastwood's Final Film Then He Is Finishing On Top – AFI Fest (https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/juror-2-review-if-this-riveting-courtroom-drama-becomes-clint-eastwood-s-final-film-then-he-is-finishing-on-top-afi-fest/ar-AA1t4TVX?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=67cef54f488a46d0954d7c6a107230ed&ei=20)

Clint Eastwood’s 42nd, and possibly last film as director (hope not), Juror #2, also happens to be his best since American Sniper. At 94 years old this remarkable filmmaker not only still has it, he actually has it in spades over some half his age.
