Clint Eastwood just won Juror No. 2, which is rumored to be the last film the legendary filmmaker will direct.
The 93-year-old – who looked frail last month – cast Nicholas Hoult as a man who comes to a chilling realization while on a jury.
Gradually it dawns on the character that he may have been at fault for the car accident that killed the person whose murder is being tried.
He finds himself in the nerve-wracking position of having to decide whether to keep his own name clear or help acquit the innocent defendant.
The post-production of the film has now been completed, sources said Variety that his studio, Warner Bros, is ‘enthusiastic’ about the images shown.

The film had a tumultuous path to completion, as filming had to be halted for months last year due to the Hollywood strikes.
Furthermore, a number of studios reportedly rejected the project before Clint could find a home for it at Warner Bros.
At the end of Juror No. 2’s post-production, Taxi Driver-writer Paul Schrader joked, “Eastwood is the great-grandfather of the geriatric generation.”
However, he noted that acclaimed Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira “worked until he was 104.” So Clint still has a long way to go to catch him.”
The news about Juror No. 2 first surfaced in a March 2023 report from Discuss moviewhich claimed that Clint hoped to retire from showbiz after the project.
Last month, DailyMail.com obtained footage of Clint appearing old and worn, but still full of zest for life, in Carmel-by-the-Sea.
