At the age of 93, there’s no stopping for Clint Eastwood, as the acclaimed filmmaker is working on his (supposed) final feature Juror No. 2. A new report in Variety reveals that the courtroom drama has finished post-production, and per their sources, the WB executives are “thrilled” by what they saw. Led by Nicholas Hoult as a juror serving on a murder trial, the film has not revealed any release date or window.
Juror No. 2 is a courtroom drama set against the backdrop of a murder trial, and follows a family man, Justin Kemp, who is serving as a juror in the case. Things take a turn when he starts to realize that he was the one who killed the victim in a case of reckless driving. Now he’s in a conundrum where he is trying to save the defendant without incriminating himself while covering his own tracks.
