THE MULE: Production Information and News

[AKA23]

Andy Garcia hasn't been announced as part of the cast. Could he be consulting with Eastwood on the score, since the photo description said they were taking a "piano break?" I know he's an actor but I'm not that familiar with his career. Is Andy Garcia also a musician?

[AKA23]

It sounds like this movie may not have finished filming yet.

Based on the above article, a member of the crew also shared that this could be released in Dec 2018/Jan 2019.

I've heard his name related to this project several times on different occasions. maybe he is actually in this movie as an actor. there is another post on his Instagram citing "it's a wrap! #themule. So it is a strong signal by which he may actually be a part of this one.

You definitely appear to be right based on Garcia's Instagram updates, but where else have you heard Andy Garcia's name mentioned in connection with this project? I haven't been able to find anything on it. Do you have a link you can share with us?

On Twitter mostly. people were using his name along with Clint and Bradley on their tweets about the mule. they were like hey guys, Clint and Andy Gacia are in town and so on.

Good news ! So, The Mule could be released like Gran Torino or American Sniper.
I'm so excited to see Clint Eastwood's new film ! It sounds great !
Who was that member of the crew ?

[Hocine]

I think Warners will wait until the film is completed and they see it before deciding when they will release it. If they feel the film has Oscar potential, they will likely have a short Oscar qualifying release in select cities in 2018. If they dont, it will come out in 2019, likely in the spring or summer.

Yes, I think so.
At this point, Bradley Cooper's A Star is Born, which will open at Venice Film Festival later this month, is Warner Bros' biggest Oscar contender.
It's too early to predict if The Mule will be a serious contender.
I hope that Clint will be nominated for Best Actor at least.

Hello everybody !
According to IMDb, The Mule is in post-production now.
Its page was updated on August 3rd.
I think that it will be ready before 2019.
Usually, Joel Cox starts to edit the film during the shooting.
Indeed, he's one of the fastest editor in Hollywood.
We will probably see the trailer in October or November.
The question is will Warner Bros be convinced of the final product ?
And who is the music composer ?

Well- that was quick, typical Eastwood style.
and yes. the movie is expected to be released by the end of the year in December or early January. simply can't wait.
If you ask me, this can be WB's frontrunner for award season alongside with A Star is Born. regarding the composer, I can guess that Christian Jacob who has been working with Eastwood since Sully is doing the score again. Maybe Eastwood himself.

Agree with the above, but there's one more mystery to be solved: Is Andy Garcia involved with "The Mule," and if so, in what capacity?

While I'm still not 100% convinced that Andy Garcia is acting in this one, I think that's the most likely scenario. He's an actor, and he has been pictured with Eastwood, but I can't understand why if he's in this why he was never announced as part of the cast. The IMDB site was also updated with every actor under the sun that appears in the movie, many of which I've never even heard of, and he still hasn't been added. I can't think of another Eastwood film where such a recognizable actor appeared as part of the cast but was never announced as joining. Does anybody else find that to be odd?

Hi AKA23,
I don’t think that Andy Garcia is acting in The Mule.
The Mule is not like these blockbusters which sometimes don’t reveal all the cast,
in order to keep the plot secret and to do not spoil anything. But who knows ?

[AKA23]

Here's another photo that I saw recently that Andy Garcia is mentioned in. The rest of the people mentioned in the photo are part of the cast or crew of "The Mule." It does seem he's involved in some capacity. Why else would he be in all these photos which mention "The Mule?"

Well, I can't remember a similar case to this one. Andy Garcia is not a small name in this industry. if not as an actor, he might have served as a composer or maybe producer? he has produced some works and also composed soundtracks for some pictures. But there is no rich career as a scriptwriter.

[Macpherson]

Just to add to the intrigue, on IMDb for The Mule, in the section "other crew", there is an actor called Johnny Palomarez  Jr with the designation. ....stand - in : andy garcia.
Discuss.....

 

[AKA23]

This just keeps getting more intriguing. If true, this would confirm Andy Garcia is acting in this because there is no purpose to have a stand-in for someone who doesn’t appear onscreen.
