Clint Eastwood set to direct 'Juror No. 2' for Warner Bros.

NEW YORK (AP) – Clint Eastwood is getting back in the director’s chair.

The “Unforgiven” and “Gran Torino” filmmaker is set to direct the legal drama “Juror No. 2” for his longtime studio, Warner Bros., said a person close to the production who requested anonymity because he Wasn’t authorized to comment publicly. Friday confirmed.

The film will be Eastwood’s first film since 2021’s neo-western “Cry Macho”, which also marked his return to the screen as an actor. With production on “Juror No. 2” set to begin in June, Eastwood will be 93 when he steps onto the set.

Nicolas Hoult and Toni Collette are in early talks to potentially star in a Jonathan Abrams-written film about a murder trial in which a juror learns she may have played a role in the victim’s death.

In a 2014 interview with the Associated Press, Eastwood attributed the longevity of his career to the fact that “I never let the old man in.”

Eastwood said, “There are so many different stories to tell out there.” “You can be 21 or 81. … If you say to yourself, ‘I’m too old to do this’– Bull—. You’re not too old to do anything.
