[Christopher]

I remember that actor from both I, Tonya and BlackkKlansmen. He was good in both.

I like Kathy Bates. Good hire, Clint!

Good. It's getting started. Jewell? it's just getting shorter and shorter eveytime

That project sounds good and promising.
I’m not talking about box office and awards because it’s too soon for that.
But I just have the feeling that after five years in development, that project came at maturity.
The Ballad of Richard Jewell could be somewhere between American Sniper and Sully.
Paul Walter Hauser is not really popular at this point but Rami Malek wasn’t so popular before making Bohemian Rhapsody. So, who knows ?
Sometimes, a big star can ruin a movie because of his persona.
At least, that project is even more exciting than Sully.
What are yours opinions on that ?

As I said before this project is totally special and promising compared to Clint's recent movies. Just to mention a few:
1- This movie has been under production for almost 5 years. Disney refused to cancel this project after canceling so many projects following the integration with Fox.
2- How many times do you remember that Clint has abandoned a project before and came back to take it again after 5 years? this is proof that he just couldn't let this story, this script go. He was thinking about this one all the time.
3- This true-life story is not new and recent. so I doubt that so many people are familiar with it and this is gonna be a route from unknown to the KNOWN story. 
4- The scriptwriter is Billy Ray, one of the most skilled, talented and flexible writers working in Hollywood today; From Hunger Games to Captain Philips, from the State of Play to Terminator,  he has proven that he can handle every kind of stories.

I have really very high hopes for this one and just can not wait to see it.

Oh this is getting better and better. Love John Hamm in everything he does.

[AKA23]

I'm a big fan of the TV show "House," so I like Olivia Wilde, but I never would have thought of her to act in an Eastwood movie! I've never seen John Hamm in anything, so he will be new to me!

[Saman Moradkhani]

John Hamm was brilliant in Mad Men with so many accolades. He was also great in Ben Affleck's The Town and also Baby Driver. He most recently starred in Bat Times at El Royale. Great actor.

Since it's pretty certain now that this is really happening, I've changed the thread title to "Richard Jewell: Production Information and News." We'll post all updates here until the time comes when the reviews start coming in, and then we'll start a new thread for that.

You're wrong ! You've seen "Space Cowboys" , I think ? :-) . Jon Hamm had a little role  in it . So he meets Clint for the second time, after 20 years. See here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhLTV8f2E-A Jon Hamm is the guy sitting with a blue shirt.

That's quite a find! I never would have spotted him.

[AKA23]

Wow. Good eyes. That completely slipped by me!

[Gant]

I'd love to see Eastwood work with Joaquin Pheonix.. I think he's a tremendous actor..

Filming begins today and it continues by the end of August. If you saw this one in theaters by the end of the year, don't get surprised.
