Last March we shelved the third month of the year with the most bittersweet news: Clint Eastwood, who is about to turn 93, is already working on his new feature film, which would hit theaters under the title of ‘ Swear #2’. The less joyous side of the ad is that the film will mean the definitive retirement of one of the great icons of contemporary cinemaBoth in front of and behind the cameras.
Clint’s Last
But let’s forget about the latter for a moment and focus on a project that continues and, according to Deadline, He would have already found his leading partnernista. This would be none other than the one composed by Nicholas Hoult —who has just released the hilarious ‘Renfield’— and the Oscar nominee Toni Collettewho are in the negotiation phase.
It should be noted that the film has not yet received the green light from Warner Bros., a studio with which Eastwood maintains a long-standing relationship, although it has emerged that with the budget and shooting schedule on the table, It is a matter of time before it is officially launched. Definitely great news.
‘Swearer #2’, written by Jonathan Abrams, revolves around a murder trial in which one of the jurors progressively begins to realize that he ended the victim’s life in a traffic accident, and tries to save the defendant without incriminating himself. A most interesting premise that the filmmaker decided to tackle after considering a good number of scripts.
For now there is no planned release date for ‘Juror #2’, although knowing Eastwood’s speed during the principal photography phases, it could come much sooner than we might imagine. Things to be a living legend.
