At the grand age of 93, Clint Eastwood is considering retirement after making Juror #2 for Warner Bros. According to reports, Clint Eastwood has set his final film at Warner Bros. The project, currently titled Juror #2, will mark Eastwoodā€™s final turn in the directorā€™s chair as he edges closer to his mid-90s. Eastwoodā€™s retirement will mark the end of a remarkable career both in front and behind the camera, including a half-century partnership with Warner Bros. Juror #2 is said to ā€˜follow one jury member in a murder trial who suspects he may have had some part in the victim’s death. He is caught in a moral conundrum of whether to use his secret to sway the jury away and protect himself or turn himself over to the justice system he is participating in.ā€™ The conflict of individualism versus authoritarianism has often been a key thematic streak throughout Eastwood movies, so it certainly feels fitting that heā€™ll be tackling that idea one more time. Discussing Film reports that Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette are lined up to lead the cast. Itā€™s worth noting that according to the widely-reported story, the news of Eastwoodā€™s plans to make Juror #2 his final film has not yet been publicly confirmed and is being circulated within Warner Bros. For the studioā€™s part, upon being given the hot seat last year, CEO David Zaslav publicly expressed dissatisfaction with Eastwoodā€™s last film, 2021ā€™s Cry Macho.  Eastwoodā€™s last couple of films havenā€™t turned a profit at the box office and Zaslav offered a rather blunt assessment of Cry Macho and the studioā€™s long-running relationship with Eastwood, stating “we don’t owe anyone any favours. It’s not show friends, it’s show business.” He sounds a blast. Still, it looks like the studio will be backing Eastwood one more time but then again, you donā€™t need us to remind you about Batgirl. Weā€™ll bring you more details on what looks to be the final film of Eastwoodā€™s storied career as we hear them.
