5 Things Clint Eastwood's New Project Just Revealed About His Hollywood Future
- He's directing an unannounced film at 94, breaking his own record as the oldest working director. The script, written by a first-time screenwriter, is kept under total lock and key.
- Eastwood refused a major streaming deal, insisting on a traditional theatrical release for his latest drama. He told close sources, "The big screen is the only screen."
- The film's lead is a 28-year-old actor who was entirely unknown until Eastwood handpicked him after seeing a single audition tape. Every other star who auditioned has been told to wait for the call.
- Production is taking place entirely on a closed set in California, with no cell phones allowed and written NDAs for every crew member. It's being called the most secretive Hollywood shoot in a decade.
- Early insiders say the plot revolves around a retired gunsmith who takes on one last, impossible job. If true, it's a direct nod to Eastwood's own legacy and a possible final film.
