Two Clints in one year? We couldn't be more lucky. Clint Eastwood’s ‘The Mule’ Gets December Release Date
I just found out this was shot by the same person that shot Dolan's Laurence Anyways and a bunch of Jean-Marc Vallee
I’m checking this out next Friday. I just found out the same guy who wrote Gran Torino wrote this. Super stoked. Say what you will about Eastwood’s personality but he still has some grit in him when it comes to directing and acting.
This looks really good. Kinda worried since this kinda just came out of nowhere and there hasn’t been any critic screenings tho. Hoping it’s a nice rebound from 15:17 to Paris which is one of my least favorite movies of the year.
They're not screening in anywhere besides NY and LA, from what I understand. And they didn't screen it for any awards consideration. That's a pretty bad sign.
Honestly, the total secrecy behind this project has me all the more excited. They pulled the same stuff with The 15:17 to Paris and I think its not just one of the best films of this year, but also a vital work in Eastwood's body of work. I had a feeling this was going to be pretty straight forward, but keeping it from critics may point to the fact that its just as weird as that film. No matter what, I'm so excited to see what this is. Eastwood returning to the screen, written by the writer of Gran Torino (his only other credit!), shot by Yves Belanger. This has so much going for it imo.
