Clint Eastwood, to put it bluntly, is a living legend. Even as his 93rd birthday draws near, the 4-time Academy Award winner is still making movies and likely plans to continue to do so until he physically can’t anymore. Who’s to stop him, he’s directed two Best Picture winners in Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby, has directed 41 films, worked with multiple generations of Hollywood’s top talent, and is arguably the most iconic movie cowboy to ever grace the silver screen. Now, Eastwood is looking to make his way back to the big screen with Juror No. 2 which is rumored to be the final film of his legendary career.
Does ‘Juror No. 2’ Have a Release Date?
Clint Eastwood’s “Juror #2” recently wrapped production in Georgia. The legendary filmmaker’s official X account is now stating that a fall release is being eyed for the Warner Bros produced film which stars Toni Collette, Nicholas Hoult, Kiefer Sutherland and Zoey Deutch.
Where Can You Watch ‘Juror No. 2’?
In 2021 Warner Bros notoriously released their entire film slate day-and-date in theaters and on their streaming service HBO Max, including Eastwood’s last film Cry Macho. That likely won’t be the case with Juror No. 2 as Warner Bros Discovery’s CEO David Zaslav made it quite clear that they want all their films in theaters first, moving films like Blue Beetle and Evil Dead Rise, which were initially meant to be streaming-only releases, to theaters first.
Is There a Trailer for ‘Juror No. 2’?
Considering that filming is still ongoing, you shouldn’t be too surprised to learn that there isn’t a trailer for Juror No. 2 yet.
What Is the Plot of ‘Juror No. 2’?
As you might have expected from the title, Juror No. 2 will be a courtroom drama. The film is set during a murder trial where juror and family man Justin Kemp starts to come to the realization that he was the one who killed the victim in a case of reckless driving. Now he’s put into the position where he is trying to save the defendant on trial without incriminating himself by doing anything that would reveal he is the one at fault.
Who Is Making ‘Juror No. 2’?
As previously stated, Juror No. 2 will be directed by Clint Eastwood in what is rumored to be his final film. Eastwood needs no introduction, he initially got his start as an actor and became a cultural icon for his role as The Man with No Name in Sergio Leone’s Dollars Trilogy. His other iconic role is that of San Francisco cop Harry Callahan in the Dirty Harry film series. Eastwood made his directorial debut in 1971 with the psychological thriller Play Misty for Me, which he also starred in alongside Jessica Walter and Donna Mills.
He has won a grand total of four Academy Awards, including for Best Picture and Director for Unforgiven, and won those same two awards 12 years later for Million Dollar Baby. He has received an additional seven nominations including Best Actor for Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby, Best Picture for Mystic River, Letters from Iwo Jima, and American Sniper, and Best Director for Letters from Iwo Jima.
After Cry Macho was a critical and financial disappointment for Warner Bros, it looked like the company’s new CEO David Zaslav wasn’t keen on working with Eastwood on another film claiming that “We don’t owe anyone any favors,” after being told by multiple executives that he never has turned in a film late or over-budget. Thankfully it seems that he’s had a change of heart since then.
The screenplay for the film is written by first-time screenwriter Jonathan Abrams. Adam Goodman (Dune), Matt Skiena (The Lego Movie), Tim Moore (Sully), and Jessica Meier (Richard Jewell) will serve as producers on the film. Ellen Goldsmith-Vein (The Maze Runner) and Jeremy Bell (Escape Plan) are executive producing the film.
