After a legendary career filled with iconic Western roles, that no fan of Western films can forget, the star who does not want to give in to life’s circumstances is preparing to say goodbye to us in his own way.
The story of Juror No. 2
Clint Eastwood, at 93 years old, has wrapped up filming his latest movie, “Juror No. 2,” with Warner Bros. This film could be his final bow in a career that’s been nothing short of legendary. Reportedly, Juror No. 2 follows “Family man Justin Kemp who, while serving as a juror in a high profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma…one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict, or free the wrong killer,” according to IMDb.
Who Stars in ‘Juror No. 2’?
Nicholas Hoult stars as Kemp, with Toni Collette playing the prosecutor. The cast also includes Leslie Bibb, Kiefer Sutherland, Gabriel Basso, and Zoey Deutch. They shot the movie in Savannah, Georgia, and while there’s no release date yet, it’s expected to hit theaters first, following Warner Bros.’ tradition.
The unstoppable man behind ‘Juror No. 2’?
Clint Eastwood has been a big star in Hollywood for a very long time – 65 years! He’s acted in more than 60 movies, showing everyone how talented he is. But Eastwood isn’t just an actor! He’s also directed over 40 movies that people will remember for a long time. Movies like “Unforgiven” and “Million Dollar Baby” are some of his best directing work, and they even won him two Oscars for Best Director! and “Gran Torino.” and many more…
The Possible reason behind ‘Juror No. 2’
Cry Macho, which is by the way the latest Clint Eastwood’s movie, didn’t really blow people away. On the contrary, many of them attacked him after this film, even his fans, and here I have collected for you various reviews that attacked the film in general, and even Clint Eastwood himself.
“I love Clint Eastwood, but he shouldn’t have made this movie. It’s like a big ego trip – “look at me, I can still act, pretend to be a tough guy, pretend to be attractive to women…”
“I have always been a fan of Clint Eastwood; both in front and behind the camera…Cry Macho was a far cry from his previous work like Gran Torino and Million Dollar Baby. His choice of actor for the young boy was almost hilarious. The romantic scenes were not believable at his age…”
“I am a big Eastwood fan. Love his work and the impact he’s made on cinema. But this film felt like it should have been made with an actor on his 60’s not 90’s…I think the movie would have been better served with Clint just directing. Not today I don’t love to see him act. I do, but he wasn’t as formidable as he needed to be in this film. It’s hard to be formidable when you’re 90. You have to believe he can go into Mexico and do the things he did— I didn’t.”
“My husband loves Clint Eastwood movies – but this is one to be forgotten. It was uncomfortable just watching Clint trying to re-live his glories of the past- and also highlighted that he is something of a one -trick- pony. Nothing new was brought to the table. Most of the script was cliche-ridden, as if he had cut and pasted his best lines from every movie he’d featured in before.”
“This is an awful movie. I love many Clint Eastwood movies, but he is way too old for this type of role. He can barely walk and his acting has also taken a turn for the worse. I understand he wants to continue to do what he loves, but he needs to retire as an actor unless it’s a very different role.”
The Last Chance?!?
As you know, the man with no name, isn’t one to give up easily. Instead, he steps behind the camera for “Juror No. 2,” a project that could be the last film of his career and last chance to win back his fans . Of course, everyone who loves Westerns is freaking out about Eastwood’s new movie, ‘Juror No. 2.’ But the big question is: is ‘Juror No. 2’ gonna be another Clint Eastwood classic like his past historical films, or are we in for a movie that’ll leave us feeling like we wasted our popcorn?
Where Can You Watch ‘Juror No. 2’?
Warner Bros. is shaking up how they release movies. Remember in 2021, you could watch movies like Clint Eastwood’s “Cry Macho” on HBO Max at the same time they hit theaters? Well, that’s changing. Now, under their new boss, Warner Bros. wants new movies to play in theaters first, before they’re available on HBO Max. This means exciting upcoming films like “Blue Beetle” and “Evil Dead Rise” will be on the big screen first, giving you a chance to experience them with the full movie theater effect before they move online.
