The Mule Trailer – Clint Eastwood is an octogenarian drug runner opposite Bradley Cooper

October 7, 2018 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Clint Eastwood hasn’t starred in a film since 2012’s Trouble With The Curve, and hasn’t appeared in a movie he’s also directed since 2008’s Gran Torino. However, now he’s back pulling double duty in The Mule.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Clint Eastwood stars as Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive.  Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he’s just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel.  He does well—so well, in fact, that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl is assigned a handler.  But he isn’t the only one keeping tabs on Earl; the mysterious new drug mule has also hit the radar of hard-charging DEA agent Colin Bates.  And even as his money problems become a thing of the past, Earl’s past mistakes start to weigh heavily on him, and it’s uncertain if he’ll have time to right those wrongs before law enforcement, or the cartel’s enforcers, catch up to him.’

The Mule is in UK Cinemas January 2019. Bradley Cooper, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Peña, Dianne Wiest and Andy Garcia also star. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Tab Hunter Confidential (Outfest Review)

July 19, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Tab Hunter, Debbie Reynolds, Clint Eastwood, Portia de Rossi, George Takei
Director: Jeffrey Schwarz
Running Time: 90 mins
Certificate: NR
Release Date: July 11th 2015 (Outfest)

Some younger people may have never heard of Tab Hunter, but if you say the name to any straight woman or gay man who was young in the 1950s, you can often see their eyes glaze as they remember the teen heartthrob who was the biggest dreamboat crush of an entire generation. However, while he was setting millions of teenage hearts aflutter in the likes of Damn Yankees and Battle Cry, he was also hiding the fact that he was gay (with the help of the studio system).

Hunter only officially came out when he wrote his autobiography in 2006, on which this documentary is based. The film includes extensive interviews with Hunter, who still seems somewhat reticent to talk about his sexuality – an entire lifetime of not talking publicly about that side of his life hasn’t disappeared now he’s ‘outed’ himself – but even so he does open up about his career, his relationships with the likes of Psycho star Anthony Perkins, and the studio-mandated dates he went on with a string of young starlets.

Clint Eastwood Says US Republicans Should Stop ‘Worrying What Gay Marriage Is About’

September 19, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Clint Eastwood’s appearance the the Republican Convention caused a lot of comment, mainly due to the fact he kept haranguing an empty chair as if President Obama was sat in it. However while he may not be impressed with the President’s economic performance, he’s socially far more liberal than many other Republicans and does believe in marriage equality.

While out promoting his new film, Trouble With the Curve, he stopped by Ellen’s talk show and touched on how he is a Republican but identifies with libertarian values. He says, “You’re socially liberal, leave everybody alone, but you believe in fiscal responsibility and you believe in government staying out of your life. With the condition of society right now, with the high unemployment rates and the tremendous debt we’re increasing and the government spending, you think there’d be a lot to think about, except worrying what gay marriage is about.”

He also mentioned the whole thing with the chair, saying “The Democrats who were watching said they thought I was going senile, and the Republicans knew I was.”

You can see what Eastwood had to say below.

Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford & Nicolas Cage Wanted For Expendables 3

August 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The Expendables 2 is set to close the summer movie season with a bang when it’s released later this week. With that film already in the can, the producers are already looking to the future and The Expendables 3.

Producer Avi Lerner has been talking to Total Film and told them that they are going after even more big names in the potential follow-up, “We’ve approached Clint Eastwood to be one of the guys, we’ve got a character in mind for him. We’re talking to Harrison Ford. [And we want] Wesley Snipes when he comes back from prison. I’ll give you one more name, we’ve got Nicolas Cage to play [one of the characters]. And we’re going to bring Mickey Rourke back, if he won’t be too crazy. I like Mickey. And of course, all the existing stars [will return].”

It isn’t known if Sylvester Stallone is writing the screenplay for this third installment, although it seems they definitely have some new characters worked out. If The Expendables 2 director Simon West returns, he will reunite with Nicolas Cage, who starred in his 1997 action-thriller Con Air, and the filmmaker’s upcoming Stolen, debuting in cinemas later this year.

While it seem Cage has already agreed, I reckon Lerner will be very lucky to get Eastwood and Ford, who are incredibly picky about they’re projects. Eastwood in particular hardly makes any movie any more as an actor, and it’s tough to imagine he’ll agree to this.

First Look At Clint Eastwood In Trouble With The Curve

July 27, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

When he made Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood suggested that would be his last on-screen role, but now he’s coming back with Trouble With The Curve, which is longtime producer Robert Lorenz is directing. The first images from the film have now been released via EW, which feature Eastwood alongside Amy Adam and Justine Timberlake.

Clint Eastwood stars as a veteran baseball scout, who attempts to bond with his daughter (Adams) by taking her on his last recruiting trip. Director Robert Lorenz had to say about the character, “He gets his chance to prove whether he still has value as a scout and as a dad. They’re having trouble communicating. They always have, and now they’ve come to a point in the relationship where it’s either going to change or it’s not. He needs a little help, and she decides it’s worth the effort.”

Justin Timberlake Having Trouble With The Curve

February 1, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s getting to the point where you could almost forget Justin Timberlake is a pop star, as he spends so much of his time trying to be a movie star. The likes of The Social Network have helped give him some acting cred, but starring opposite Clint Eastwood should get him a lot more.

Deadline reports that he’s just signed on to Trouble With The Curve, which will see Eastwood coming out of acting retirement (Gran Torino was supposed to be his last trip in front of a camera). The film follows an aging baseball scout (Eastwood) who’s slowly losing his vision, but goes on a road trip with his adult daughter (Amy Adams) to look for new players in Atlanta.

Timberlake is set to play a former pitcher-turned-scout, who competes against Eastwood for a new signing. However, just to throw an extra spanner in the works, he also falls for Adams.

Robert Lorenz, whose produced many of Clint’s films, will make his directing debut with the movie. An autumn release is being eyed for the movie.

Matthew Lillard Set To Have Trouble With The Curve

January 18, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

If all goes well for director Robert Lorenz, this time next year we’ll be wondering if Trouble With The Curve will win any Oscars. We’re a long way from that though, as they’ve got to make the movie first. Clint Eastwood has agreed to come out of acting retirement for the movie, and Amy Adams is attached to star too. Now TheWrap reports a couple more actors are close to signing.

Actor Matthew Lillard, who recently appeared in The Descendants, is in negotiations, as is newcomer Joe Massingill. The film follows Clint Eastwood’s character, a professional baseball scout who is losing his eyesight. He brings his daughter along on a scouting trip to Atlanta, so he can evaluate a young prospect. Matthew Lillard will play another scout in the drama.

Robert Lorenz, who’s been Eastwood’s assistant director and fellow producer for years, is directing Trouble with the Curve from a screenplay by Randy Brown. It’ll be his directorial debut.

Amy Adams May Have Trouble With The Curve

November 17, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

A few weeks ago it was revealed that while Clint Eastwood had said Gran Torino would probably be his final trip in front of the camera, he’s planning one more on-screen role with Trouble With The Curve. At the time it seemed Sandra Bullock was likely to star alongside him. However a deal couldn’t be worked out (largely due to scheduling) and so Variety reports that the role has been offered to Amy Adams.

There are still some things to work out with Adams, who also has a few scheduling problems (mainly with various Man Of Steel jobs she has to do), but at the moment its appears she’s doing her best to ensure everything gets sorted. After all, who wouldn’t want to star alongside Clint, and this may be the very last time it’s possible to do that?

The film follows an aging baseball scout who’s slowly losing his vision, but goes on a road trip with his adult daughter to look for new players in Atlanta.
