Clint Eastwood’s upcoming project is set to be his final filmmaking achievement, proving that age sometimes can do little to stop someone who knows their passion and their limits. His last movie was a Western drama called Cry Macho that premiered in 2021, in which he starred as Mike Milo, a retired rodeo star coerced by his friend Howard (Dwight Yoakam) to bring his son back from Mexico City. Most of the film focuses on the bond between Mike and the son on the trip back, sharing their lives and struggles. Now his newest and last film will be a crime drama thriller centered on a murder trial where one of the jurors comes to realize that he was the one who killed the victim in a tragic driving accident. He seeks to save the defendant from a guilty charge while trying not to put himself in the crosshairs. The project is reportedly in its final stages of being greenlit by Warner Bros. It is set to star both Toni Collette and Nicholas Hoult, who is currently making the rounds in theaters with Nicolas Cage’s vampiric horror comedy Renfield.
