Eastwood News / An upcoming project for Clint ?

« on: May 14, 2021, 03:32:25 AM »

Hi everyone,

I was googling "malpaso productions" and I found an article from Variety, which was posted last month

https://variety.com/2021/film/news/kandell-brothers-robert-zemeckis-mr-lucky-apple-studios-1234951829/

That article is basically about twin screenwriters Aaron and Jordan Kandell and their upcoming projects

In the fifth paragraph of that article, among several projects, it is mentionned that the Kandell Brothers "are also attached to produce "Conviction", from writer Chris K.T.Bright, which Malpaso Productions is making for Warner Bros."

So, I googled "Conviction, Chris K.T.Bright" and I found a synopsis on that upcoming project here: https://www.chrisktbright.com/films

Here it is:

CONVICTION
Written by Chris Kekaniokalani Bright
Feature Film | 2020 | Currently in pre-production | Produced by Aaron and Jordan Kandell
The incredible true story of the final trial of Clarence Darrow, the greatest attorney of the 20th century who for the first and only time in his career was fighting for the wrong side. Darrow defends a wealthy white family caught murdering a native Hawaiian boy whom they wrongfully accused of raping their daughter.


That synopsis mentions "a native Hawaiian boy" and I thought that that project may be the one that Clint was supposed to do in Hawaii, if you remember

So, what do you think about that ? After Cry Macho, could it be Clint next film, which would be a return to films based on true stories ?

Hello everybody,
When reading an interesting article about the making of Richard Jewell, I learned that Clint is planning to shoot his next picture in Hawaii, in the end of next spring. Nothing was revealed about that project.
That article was published in Transfuge magazine, issue 136, February 2020, which is a French magazine on litterature, music, movies, art.
Jean-Paul Chaillet, a French reporter specialized in movies, spent a couple days on Richard Jewell movie set.
He visited many Clint Eastwood movies sets in the past.

Eastwood News / What’s next for Clint ?

« on: February 07, 2019, 09:04:19 PM »

Hello everybody,

Do you have some news about Clint’s next project ?

Cinematographer Yves Bélanger said that Clint could start shooting a new picture next spring.

But he didn’t mention any particular project.

When The Mule was released in France on January 23, I have read many reviews of the film, which were mostly

positive.

A couple of them (for instance, Le Journal du Dimanche, which can be translated as The Sunday) mentioned that Clint’s

next film might be Impossible Odds. At this point, it’s still a rumor.

What do you think about that ? Do you want Clint to make Impossible Odds ?

Newsweek ranked Clint Eastwood movies from worst to best:

https://www.newsweek.com/all-clint-eastwoods-movies-ranked-worst-best-1236224

What do you think about it ?

Could you tell us what’s your ten favourite Clint Eastwood movies, as a director and as an actor.

You may have answered to this question several times.

But I thought that two weeks before the US release date of The Mule, it would be interesting to update it.
