- When filming of "Juror No. 2" begins, Clint Eastwood will be 93.
- Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette could potentially star in the movie.
- Eastwood has previously directed nearly 40 movies, including "Richard Jewell" and "The 15:17 to Paris."
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., a person close to the production who requested anonymity because she wasn't authorized to comment publicly confirmed Friday.
The film will be Eastwood's first since 2021's neo-Western "Cry Macho," which also marked his return to the screen as an actor. With production on "Juror No. 2" to begin in June, Eastwood will be 93 when he steps on set.
Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette are in early talks to potentially star in the film, written by Jonathan Abrams, about a murder trial wherein a juror discovers he may have played a role in the victim's death.
In an interview in 2014 with The Associated Press, Eastwood said the reason for his career longevity was that "I never let the old man in."
"There are so many different stories to tell out there," said Eastwood. "You can be 21 or 81. ... If you tell yourself, 'I'm too old to do that' — bulls---. You're not too old to do anything."

Its time to face reality, he might only have 4 or 5 more movies in him.
Play Misty For Me was 1971 I think. That is amazing production in 52 years.
He has acted and directed in some great movies, two that are, IMO his best, Unforgiven and Play Misty For Me. Of course, there is Million Dollar Baby and The Outlaw Josey Wales and on and on and on...
I recall watching Play Misty For Me when it was first played - scared the shit out of me.
