New Clint Eastwood film

Film under the title Gran Torino (2008), Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood - due for a Dec 2008 release in the US.

Done a little googling and there are a lot of rumors that it is a new Dirty Harry film

For those that don't know the Gran Torino was the muscle car of choice back in the 70s if you were in a cop show - Starsky & Hutch, Kojak

Go on Clint, make our day

If it is then there seems to be a glut of motor racing films - in the way that is usual in Hollywood - none for years, then every studio producing one at exactly the same time!

If it was Dirty Harry how would that work - murders at his retirement home?

Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino is Not Dirty Harry 6. Character Descriptions Released. | /Film

Seems it is a film about a young boy who strikes up a friendship with Clint after trying to steal the car.

As above ^^^^^ Dirty Harry is over with now.. Clint Eastwood is focussing on directorial work mainly although Gran Torino will feature him in it.

Re: New Clint Eastwood film

But it would be interesting to see Dirty Harry in the style of Unforgiven.

The old,over the hill Harry chasing criminals thats too much for him :P

I really think Clint Eastwood's past it now, he must be pushing 75 by now?
