In Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2, Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult) finds himself in an unenviable position: not only was he selected for jury duty, but something odd occurs during the murder trial’s opening statements. Details surrounding the night of the murder begin to trigger memories for him. First, he realizes he was in the same bar as the defendant James Sythe and his girlfriend Kendall, that same evening one year ago, an odd coincidence, but not too bizarre. There are only so many bars in a small town. But then he recalls an accident he had on the way home that night, right where the murder occurred. He hit a deer, or so he thought, with his Toyota 4Runner. He eventually surmises it must have been he who unknowingly struck and killed Kendall walking alone in the dark. And now he’s on a jury who must decide the fate...

Remember the days when anyone could simply head on over to their local theater on a whim, check the marquee for whichever movies happened to be playing next, and treat themselves to any number of solid, efficiently-made pictures made specifically for adults? That nostalgic scenario might as well feel as extinct as the dinosaurs in the year of our Lord 2024, but don't you dare tell that to Clint Eastwood. It goes without saying that at 94 years old, the nonagenarian is much closer to the twilight of his prolific career than its dawn, but the inevitable passing of time hasn't slowed him down one bit. If anything, he continues to prove that time has only forged a filmmaker as scrupulous, focused, and impassioned as ever.
Granted, the release of his latest sees Eastwood navigating a much different studio system than the one which first ushered him into the spotlight as one of our greatest American storytellers.

Clint Eastwood understands America as an imperfect but noble project, its levers of power flawed but pulled toward justice and honor. If Juror #2 is indeed his last film behind the camera, its focus on truth and justice alone makes it a fitting one. So clearly influenced by Eastwood’s contrarian streak, it can feel more than a little naïve at times, sometimes even inscrutable, but the tautness with which this pulpy, tense, and undeniably curious legal drama has been crafted makes it easy to overlook its often preposterous plotting.

Clint Eastwood — movie star, award-winning auteur, icon of stoic masculinity, man who occasionally talks to chairs — turned 94 this past May. It may be weird to mention this upfront, although talk of age, the ravages of time, and the art of knowing when to gracefully retire has been a steady topic of conversation in the first half of 2024. None of that hand-wringing seems to apply to our man Clint, however. In the past decade, the actor-director has made eight movies, ranging from musicals (Jersey Boys) to docu-thrillers (The 15:17 to Paris) to complicated-men biopics (Sully,...

Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2 is the fourth film he has debuted at the AFI Film Festival, joining J. Edgar, American Sniper, and Richard Jewell. The riveting courtroom drama was the festival’s closing night film. The star-studded cast is led by the reunion of Toni Collette and Nicholas Hoult, who shared the screen for the first time since the 2002 film About a Boy, who stars alongside J.K. Simmons and Chris Messina.

Anyone who has served on a jury, or even been summoned to participate in jury selection, can recall the inevitable tension that direct participation in the justice system can provoke. Countless others might recognize the distinct hallmarks of the experience from an abundance of movies and TV episodes: the bailiff’s courtroom call to order, the jury selection process and the unpredictable uncertainties of the trial process.
But while the often-static setting of Juror #2, Clint Eastwood’s latest feature, will no doubt feel familiar, the narrative twists of Jonathan Abrams’ agile script add fresh perspective to the courtroom drama. Eastwood’s long list of awards and near-incomparable professional longevity will certainly stir interest in Warner Bros.’ Nov. 1 bow, even if the film itself remains a rather understated addition to the Oscar winner’s considerable career.

At the age of 94, Clint Eastwood is back with legal drama Juror #2, following a juror for a high-profile murder trial who is struggling with a serious moral dilemma that could influence the verdict.
Nicholas Hoult stars as the juror, and at the film’s AFI Fest premiere in Los Angeles on Sunday, told The Hollywood Reporter about the “dream come true” of collaborating with the iconic filmmaker after growing up on his movies.
“They always say don’t meet your heroes, but this is a case where it’s amazing to meet your heroes because he’s cool and calm and collected, he has an ease about life and with people and a charm and a glint in his eye and always a cracking sense of humor,” Hoult said. “He cares about what he’s creating, he trusts the people around him and he trusts the audience too.” The actor...

Clint Eastwood’s new movie “Juror No. 2” had its premiere closing night screening at the American Film Institute’s festival in Los Angeles on Sunday. However, the 94-year-old legendary director was not there himself.
AFI president Bob Gazzale addressed the audience. He said Eastwood “could not be here with us tonight.” Still, Gazzale called the event a celebration of Eastwood’s extensive career both in front of and behind the camera. This includes his iconic “Dirty Harry” character and direction of films like “Richard Jewell” and “Play Misty for Me.”
The leads in “Juror No. 2,” Toni Collette and Nicholas Hoult, attended the premiere. Collette and Hoult had previously worked together in 2002’s “About a Boy.” Collette expressed gratitude for the chance to collaborate with Eastwood. She said working with him as a director “still blows my mind…but he is a truly good, solid human being.” Hoult called...

Clint Eastwood has consistently directed feature films for over 50 years. He is now 94 years old, which could potentially make the soon-to-be-released Juror #2 his final movie. Given his illustrious legacy, both in front of and behind the camera, it’s somewhat puzzling that Warner Bros. seems to be burying Juror #2, which will reportedly be screened in less than 50 theaters.
Juror #2 will premiere at AFI Fest on October 27th, and Warner Bros. will give the film in limited release on November 1st. Given Eastwood’s decades-long partnership with the studio, not to mention the billions in box office grosses over that time, you’d think the studio would treat Eastwood’s potentially final movie with a little more respect. Well, according to Variety, this is the respectful approach for the studio.
The film, which was produced on a budget in the mid-$30 million range, was originally conceived as a streaming release. Warner Bros.

After repeated let-downs at the box office and the disappointment of fans due to the subpar performance of past DC movies, James Gunn took over the helm. The filmmaker’s decision to reboot the entire DC Universe and start with a clean slate has received mixed reactions from fans.

Doing the right thing can be challenging. We want to think that we’d take the higher ground when faced with tragedy, but when push comes to shove, we tend to save ourselves when staring down the barrel of a grim fate. In Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2 trailer, Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult) must decide what kind of person he is when coming face-to-face with the possibility of being guilty of another man’s crime. The high ground suddenly feels insurmountable, and the choice between freedom and incarceration looms. What would you do?
Clint Eastwood directs Juror #2 from a script by Jonathan A. Abrams.

As Carol Burnett makes Emmy Awards history this weekend, Abe Sylvia is reflecting on his collaboration with the comedy legend.
The Palm Royale creator explained that he had the “biggest imposter syndrome” after Burnett came to be cast as wealthy comatose matriarch Norma Dellacorte in his Apple TV+ series, which was renewed for a second season back in June.
“I didn’t have anyone in mind. But we have a fantastic casting director, Kerry Barden, and he really encouraged us to shoot for the moon,” he recalled to Collider. “It was his idea to go after Carol Burnett for Norma. I said, ‘I don’t know. She’s in a coma. Does that feel too small?’ And he was like, ‘Let’s just ask. There’s no hurt in asking.’ And when Carol said yes, I went into my office and cried with the biggest imposter syndrome. I was like,...

Mike White and HBO may be keeping their “White Lotus” Season 3 cast tight-lipped in regards to revealing plot details on the upcoming entry, but that hasn’t stopped them from sharing how production on the anthology series upended their lives emotionally. Discussing the shoot during a recent interview with Parade, Emmy-nominee Carrie Coon expressed the difficulties everyone faced both as a result of torrential downpours and by being sequestered away with a small group of people.
“It was very, very challenging,” Coon says. “It created a lot of obstacles because we had to keep moving around every time there was bad weather. I think we moved around nine times, so the logistics were tough because who wants to see rainy, cold Thailand?”
Though the work may have been difficult, it seems Coon made it up for it with play, as she spoke of “wild nights” with the dynamic cast, which includes Jason Isaacs,...

Aubrey Plaza starred in The White Lotus Season 2, but the star has not seen herself in the series almost two years after it aired on HBO.
Due to technical difficulties, the Parks and Recreation alum says she hasn’t seen the Mike White-created series.
“I still haven’t, but I’m going to,” Plaza said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal. “To be honest, I had trouble opening my HBO Max account when I was trying to watch it originally. I couldn’t figure out the password and I usually just give up when I can’t figure out the passwords. I just can’t handle things like that.”
Plaza said that she has requested DVDs of the series to watch it, adding, “I’d love a DVD, but they don’t send DVD sets anymore. I ask them every time.”

For Palm Royale makeup and hair department heads Tricia Sawyer and Karen Bartek, Slim Aarons’ 1960s photography served as the biggest inspiration for nailing the looks of a cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Allison Janney, Laura Dern, Carol Burnett, Ricky Martin and Leslie Bibb.
“Aarons really captured the essence of Palm Beach in that time period,” Sawyer tells THR. “He has several books that I referred to daily. There are also some videos online of Palm Beach society women of the period that were helpful.”
Palm Royale follows Wiig’s Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons, an outsider who strives to attain a place in Palm Beach’s high society. Almost every actor in the series, which has been renewed for a second season, references the hair or makeup of a famous actress or icon of the era, explains Bartek.

I had a great time. I made a lot of friends.’”
O’Brien then told White, “If there’s a part for me, I’m available.’”

Carol Burnett certainly doesn’t need any more accolades to confirm her legendary status: In a career that has spanned more than six decades, she became a household name thanks to the groundbreaking Carol Burnett Show (1967-78), and has shined on major mediums from Broadway to films. She’s earned Emmys, Golden Globes, a Tony and a Grammy, with only an Academy Award missing from her mantel. But Burnett isn’t pining to get Egot status. “I don’t think movies are my deal,” Burnett says plainly when asked about it. But Palm Royale, Abe Sylvia’s comedy series about a woman infiltrating Palm Beach’s high society, was very much her deal, especially when she heard Kristen Wiig would play the lead character. Burnett, Emmy nominated for her supporting role in the series, talks to THR about playing Norma Dellacorte, making new girlfriends on the show and her lucky Wordle wins.

With her 23rd Emmy nomination coming 62 years after she was first nominated for “The Garry Moore Show” in 1962, Carol Burnett has now been nominated for 14 different shows. The one she’s best known for is “The Carol Burnett Show,” her long-running and wildly popular variety show that ran from 1967 until 1978.
But there were also variety specials, dramas and comedies. And now, at the age of 91, one of the most beloved entertainers of the television age has been nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the Apple TV+ comedy “Palm Royale,” in which she steals more than a few scenes as Norma Dellacorte, a rich society dame who spends a third of the season in a coma and then another big chunk of it conscious but unable to talk except in grunts and squawks.

Walton Goggins is gearing up for his next big role following his Emmy nomination for playing The Ghoul in Fallout with a stay at The White Lotus for season three. But he learned the hard way that a stay at the luxurious resort comes with a steep price in real life, as well.
While appearing on The Late Show, Goggins shared that he had just returned from Thailand after shooting The White Lotus‘ third season for the past six months. Host Stephen Colbert tried his best to get the actor to share any details about HBO’s hit series’ latest installment, with no luck at getting spoilers.
“I can’t tell you about the story of the character that I’m playing because I think [creator] Mike White would literally take one of us out,” said Goggins. However, he did share a surprising story from shooting the show.
