Schwarzenegger & Stallone Rivalry | 80s Action Icons | Hollywood’s Biggest Feud ( Photo Credit – Wikimedia )

Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t just compete with Sylvester Stallone; he needed him.

“I always need an enemy,” Schwarzenegger admitted in his Netflix doc, Arnold. And in the ’80s, there was no better rival than Stallone. Their legendary feud fueled a golden era of action cinema, with both stars battling it out on-screen and off.

Schwarzenegger and Stallone were literal warriors fighting for Hollywood supremacy. The rivalry hit its peak in 1985 when Stallone’s Rambo: First Blood Part II exploded onto screens. Schwarzenegger fired back with Commando, determined to outmuscle, outgun, and outbox-office his competition.

The many challenges disabled delegates can face at festivals and events prompted the British Film Institute (BFI) to four UK-based disabled filmmakers to the International Film Festival Rotterdam’s (IFFR) industry offering IFFR Pro last week.

Ella Glendining, Anna Keeley, Sarah Leigh and Cristián Saavedra attended as part of a joint initative between theBFI Inclusion team and IFFR, supported by the BFI International Fund.

IFFR was chosen for what is one of the first delegations of its kind because Rotterdam was regarded as “quite accessible” as a city and could be reached from London by the high-speed Eurostar rail link.

Jerry Cantrell kicked off his “I Want Blood” North American tour on Friday night (January 31st) in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and performed the Alice in Chains song “Hate to Feel” for the first time in more than 30 years.

The deep cut from the seminal 1992 album Dirt hadn’t been performed by Alice in Chains or any member of the band since a November 1993 show.

Cantrell and his solo band dusted off the tune 13 songs into a 17-song set in Niagara Falls, and played it again over the weekend at shows in Sayreville, New Jersey, and Portland, Maine — which means it will likely remain a staple in the set during the duration of the tour.

Singer Greg Puciato is part of Cantrell’s touring band, and often takes on the late Layne Staley’s vocal parts on the Alice in Chains songs in Cantrell’s sets.

Actor Faran Tahir is set to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the upcoming Disney+ series ‘Vision Quest,’ a spinoff from WandaVision. Tahir will reprise his role as Raza, the leader of the Ten Rings terrorist organization, a character he first played in 2008’s Iron Man. This marks Tahir’s first MCU appearance in nearly two decades, making his return a noteworthy moment for fans of the franchise.

Raza’s story was last seen in Iron Man, where he orchestrated Tony Stark’s kidnapping to force the creation of a Jericho missile. Although the character appeared to meet his end in the film, the MCU has shown time and again that death isn’t always permanent.

The series will follow Vision, played by Paul Bettany, as he attempts to regain his memories and redefine his purpose after the events of Avengers: Infinity War and WandaVision.

In addition to Bettany and Tahir,...

Marvel Studios’ upcoming Vision series with Paul Bettany is going back to the source code: Faran Tahir is joining the show as Raza, the role he originated in the studio’s first feature film, 2008’s “Iron Man.”

Bettany is returning as the ghostly white version of the synthezoid he first played in the 2015 film “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” and James Spader is reprising his role from “Age of Ultron” as the titular villainous AI. Todd Stashwick (“Star Trek: Picard”) is also playing an unspecified character.

Resurrecting Tahir’s character nearly 20 years after he first appeared will mark the longest gap between appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date. That’s an even more impressive feat considering that Raza — best known for kidnapping Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark, the inciting incident that leads Start to become Iron Man — was seemingly killed halfway through “Iron Man” by the film’s main villain,...

Exclusive: Faran Tahir will appear in the Paul Bettany-led series Vision Quest, a WandaVision spinoff series for Disney+, sources confirm to Deadline.

Tahir will reprise the role of the villainous Raza, leader of the terrorist organization the 10 Rings who tried to kill Tony Stark in Iron Man.

Details are scarce on the new project, but as we previously reported, the Marvel Vision spinoff has been in development at Disney+ since 2022 and was picked up to series in May. It is believed to be centered on Vision (Bettany) as he tries to regain his memory and humanity. After Thanos killed him in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, Vision returned in 2021’s WandaVision.

In addition to Bettany returning to the role he has played in three Marvel films and in WandaVision, James Spader will reprise his MCU role of Ultron. Todd Stashwick will also appear in an undisclosed role.

Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger haven't made a solid action movie since their prison film Escape Plan - which is over a decade old. For many critics, the first Escape Plan movie arrived far too late. Had Arnie and Stallone made a film together in the 1980s or 1990s, that would have been considered a major event. Instead, their first feature-length collaboration - after Arnold had previously cameoed in two of Stallone's The Expendables films - arrived in 2013. Escape Plan bombed domestically and only received 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, but thanks to overseas audiences, it grossed $137 million.

The film was a decent-sized hit, but nobody considered it a highlight in either Stallone or Schwarzenegger's filmographies. Time has been kind to Escape Plan though, and while it lacks the bombast and bodycount of the films they made during their heydays, it's still a great night's entertainment. Sly and Arnie's careers have since gone in different directions,...

As one of the biggest action movie heroes of all time, Sylvester Stallone’s filmography is packed with tense thrillers that have kept viewers on the edge of their seats. While many will know Stallone as the underdog boxer Rocky Balboa, he’s portrayed many more heroes across insightful crime stories, gritty neo-noir tales, and even futuristic sci-fi thrillers. With a brooding physique and endless onscreen chemistry, Stallone’s thrillers are an essential aspect of his legacy as one of the biggest box office draws of all time.

There have been plenty of unloved Stallone movies in need of more attention, and when looking at his catalog, there’s a lot more than just his exciting 1980s hits, like the Rambo franchise. As an actor, Stallone can deliver mindless popcorn entertainment and deeply thoughtful performances with equal measure, meaning he’s a performer with a role to fit all tastes.

2024's Slingshot is a science fiction psychological thriller starring a three-man crew of astronauts who start questioning what is real on a years-long journey to the Saturn moon of Titan. Directed by Mikael Håfström, whose credits also include 1408 and Escape Plan, Slingshot is a space survival story starring Laurence Fishburne, Casey Affleck, and Tomer Capone. The film premiered on August 30, 2024, and debuted below expectations, earning only $818,279 at the box office (via BoxOfficeMojo), and garnering only a 38% on Rotten Tomatoes.

In the film, a team of astronauts is on a multi-year mission to a moon of Saturn, where they intend to harvest precious methane for use back on Earth. The trip and the return require that each man, Captain Franks (Fishburne), John (Affleck), and Nash (Capone), stay in drug-induced hibernation for 90-day cycles, awakening only to perform routine tasks on the ship. John begins to notice that he's forgetting...

Will #Chenford be a thing in season seven of ABC’s The Rookie? The synopsis for season seven episode one, “The Shot,” doesn’t address the couple, but it does confirm two new rookies are joining the team.

Prison escape stories have long seemed to capture our imagination because they speak to our love of antiheroes and underdogs, From Alexandre Dumas' 1846 novel, "The Count of Monte Cristo," to Sylvester Stallone's "Escape Plan" movies, we just love watching innocent people outwit their captors and escape to freedom.

Filmmakers have delivered a fairly steady stream of movies featuring a prison escape, and the best ones know that viewers thrive on the detailed planning, the struggle that immediately follows, and the ultimate catharsis for the characters. We've put together a list of 15 of the best prison escape movies, and while most are dramatic thrillers we managed to squeeze in some comedy, action, and sci-fi antics as well. They include films from Japan, France, and Australia, but it probably shouldn't surprise anyone that most come from the United States –- home to the highest number of incarcerated citizens in the world.

Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series highlighting the scripts behind awards season’s most talked-about movies continues with Juror #2, the courtroom thriller starring Nicholas Hoult and the 42nd film directed by Clint Eastwood.

Warner Bros released the pic in theaters November 1 after its world premiere as the closing-night film at AFI Fest. It debuted on Max on Friday and has a 93% Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Sylvester Stallone was one of the biggest action stars of the ‘80s and the ‘90s but he had one of the fiercest rivals in Arnold Schwarzenegger. The two were part of a long-standing feud where they constantly competed with each other not just in box office numbers but also in kill counts. The feud reportedly even involved them trying to ruin each others’ careers.

While the duo have since reconciled, the stories of the feud still hold a large space in pop culture history. However, Schwarzenegger may have bested Stallone in one aspect i.e. his wit. The former Governor of California mentioned that he once included a subtle message to legislators and then acted coy when the media asked him.

Clint Eastwood owes his career to Westerns. He became a familiar face to American television viewers between 1959 and 1965 as the ramrod Rowdy Yates in the popular CBS series "Rawhide" before venturing off to Spain, where, with Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone, he helped turn the genre on its ear with the Spaghetti Western trilogy of "A Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More," and "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." From that point forward, Eastwood in any kind of Western was a big deal at the box office, which was especially impressive considering that oaters were declining in popularity throughout the 1960s and into the '70s.

Ultimately, even Eastwood couldn't keep the genre afloat. After an impressive run that included "Hang 'Em High," "Two Mules for Sister Sara," "High Plains Drifter," and "The Outlaw Josey Wales," the star only made one proper Western in the 1980s ("Pale Rider...

Code Orange guitarist-vocalist Reba Meyers has released her debut solo single, “Certain Uncertainty.”

Opening with a pattering drum machine that builds to a full band arrangement, the song has a ’90s alt-rock vibe — more subdued than Code Orange, but still heavy. Meyers’ powerful clean-singing voice is front and center, as are her lyrics, backed by the surging guitars and crushing tone for which she is best known. The five-minute track is accompanied by a self-shot video directed by Greg Puciato.

“I’m finding that I have the space only now in my life to have a bird’s eye view on my adolescence, and that perspective, and current time of growth made it the perfect moment to begin to release solo material,” Meyers said in a press release. “A moment I’ve been sure would eventually come, thought I never knew exactly how it would look.”

She added, “With that,...

We all know Arnold Schwarzenegger terminated the 1980s as the premiere action movie star alongside Stallone, but what about the 90s? Beyond Total Recall, T-2: Judgment Day, and True Lies, what’s the best Arnie action flick released between 1990 and 1999? And when we mean best, we don’t mean box office success, we’re talking about old-school ass-kicking Schwarzenegger action hinting at the halcyon days that date back to Commando and Conan the Barbarian. Is it Last Action Hero? End of Days? Or is it Chuck Russell’s underrated 1996 conspiracy espionage thriller Eraser? If you said Junior, Jingle All the Way, or Batman & Robin, you may kindly show yourselves out the door this instant. Better yet, stick around, Eraser is about to wipe your memory and prove why it’s the last great Arnie action flick to blast the masses in the 1990s.

Many may not recall Sylvester Stallone starring in a Christmas movie, but there is one film under his belt that secretly falls in the genre. Interestingly, however, the Stallone Christmas movie is a far cry from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s well-known feel-good holiday flick, Jingle All the Way. In their long and prosperous careers as actors, both Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone have experimented with different movie genres. While they have mostly played leading roles in action films, they also have other genres like comedy, sci-fi, drama, and thrillers in their portfolios.

The two have even collaborated in several movies, like Escape Plan and The Expendables 3. However, despite being two of the biggest stars of the same era of cinema, Stallone and Schwarzenegger have followed significantly different paths as actors. The variance in their acting journey seems more evident when their Christmas movies are considered. While Stallone's only Christmas movie...

Clint Eastwood is a legend among legends. The actor and director is potentially getting ready to retire, and since he's firmly in his 90s, it's fair to say he's earned it. But Eastwood had at least one more for the road in the form of the acclaimed courtroom drama "Juror #2." Luckily, viewers won't have to wait too long to be able to watch this one from the comfort of home since Warner Bros. didn't let it have a long run in theaters. The film will be readily available to watch before Christmas.

"Juror #2" was released in just 50 theaters with the studio not even reporting the box office returns. Warner Bros. had apparently planned to give this a direct-to-streaming release in the first place, but instead opted to let it have a brief run in limited theaters, perhaps to qualify for the Oscars. For whatever reason, the powers that be didn't...

Academy Award winner Clint Eastwood’s legal thriller Juror #2, starring Nicholas Hoult (upcoming Superman), has been set to begin streaming exclusively on Max on Friday, December 20.

News of the premiere date follows the film’s quite limited theatrical release on November 1 to less than 50 theaters nationwide. The move saw distributor Warner Bros. Pictures draw criticism from many corners for not properly supporting perhaps one of the final films of a legendary 94-year-old director — a project that has also happened to garner positive reviews, from someone with a longstanding history with the studio.

Among the prominent voices in the filmmaking community who have advocated on Eastwood’s behalf is Guillermo del Toro, who recently took to rising social platform Blue Sky to discuss his experience with the film. Said Del Toro in part, “We saw [the film] at the Grove with a significant crowd that was vocal and responsive all the way. I...

The world of Stephen King adaptations runs the gamut across nearly every aspect of filmmaking. You have theatrically released ones and straight to video ones. Stories stretched into TV miniseries and short stories used as segments of anthology movies. Of course, there are features that do well with critics but fail with audiences and vice versa, fail with critics but are eaten up but movie goers worldwide. 1408 came at the beginning of the King renaissance in 2007 and was a success with both critics and audiences but somehow stands alone in the mid 2000s horror pantheon as a successful but forgotten movie.

Now that Sylvester Stallone has exited Cliffhanger 2, there's only one franchise left for him to return to. Before the 1980s, sequels and franchises were quite rare. Even when they did happen, they were generally lower-budget than the original, and studios considered themselves lucky to gross around 60% of what the first entry made. Sylvester Stallone was one of the first actors to see the value in building brands for himself, starting with Rocky II in 1979. The star hadn't intended to make a Rocky movie series, but it quickly became a reliable saga for him to return to.

Other Sylvester Stallone movie franchises include The Expendables and Escape Plan, and for a time, it appeared Cliffhanger would join that list. The star was attached to the upcoming Cliffhanger 2, reprising his role as Gabe Walker. Instead, Variety has confirmed the project is being overhauled, and will instead be a soft reboot fronted by Lily James and Pierce Brosnan.

Netflix’s rom-com series Nobody Wants This attracted more viewing in its second week, moving up one spot to second overall in Nielsen’s weekly streaming charts.

The series starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody drew 1.21 billion minutes of watch time for the week of Sept. 30-Oct. 6, a 16 percent improvement on its premiere week. It also moved up one spot in the overall rankings, as the prior week’s second-place title, Inside Out 2, dropped by 50 percent to a still strong 908 million minutes of viewing on Disney+.

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story finished first overall for the third consecutive week with 1.41 billion minutes of viewing, down about 41 percent week to week. Netflix’s dating show Love Is Blind returned to the charts with a billion-minute week; its seventh season premiered on Oct. 2.

Prime Video’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power debuted its season two finale on Oct.

Clint Eastwood isn’t looking to retire anytime soon, according to “Juror #2” actor Gabriel Basso.

The star told The Hollywood Reporter that famed actor/director/producer Eastwood is not slowing down even after his 40th directorial effort, which will get a limited theatrical release on November 1.

“I feel like just because people say that he’s going to say, ‘Screw you guys, I’m making another one;’ even if it’s five minutes long,” Basso said when asked if “Juror #2” will be Eastwood’s final film. “I feel like he’ll find a way just to stick it to everybody.”

Basso’s “Juror #2” co-stars Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette similarly stayed mum about the status of Eastwood’s projects.

Hoult said that he “didn’t want to speculate” on Eastwood’s future and was ‘just glad that whilst I was working I got to make one with him,'” according to THR,...

Better Lovers have released the new song and video “Love as an Act of Rebellion,” the final taste of the band’s new album Highly Irresponsible before its release on Friday (October 25th).

The song is the closing track on the album and in the words of frontman Greg Puciato, “runs the gamut emotionally.” The first portion of the track sees the band in frenetic metalcore mode, delivering a blitz of fast thrash and breakdowns — maybe the most manic two-minute stretch of any Better Lovers song we’ve heard yet. But then things calm down, ending in a “place of uneasy acceptance,” as Puciato put it.

Escape Plan's twist ending reframes the movie and Arnold Schwarzenegger's character, Rottmeyer. This 2013 action thriller is one of several Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies and cast the former as escape specialist Ray Breslin. Ray is sent to an "inescapable" prison dubbed The Tomb, run by vicious warden Hobbes (Jim Caviezel). Ray soon befriends Rottmeyer, who runs security for a mysterious thief called Mannheim, who steals from the rich to give to the poor. Together, the two men look for weaknesses in The Tomb's design and carefully plot their escape.

It also turns out Breslin's business partner Clark (Vincent D'Onofrio) is in league with Hobbes and wants Ray left trapped in The Tomb, which is eventually revealed to be a prison ship. The first Escape Plan movie ends with Breslin and Rottmeyer putting their scheme into action, and after much shooting and punching, they escape in a rescue helicopter.

It’s another month for Netflix lovers to indulge in some great action movies hitting the streamer!

One thing you can always count on with Netflix is some fun action movies. There are the scores of originals the streamer has made, as well as several recent ones from Hollywood or abroad. It’s tough to narrow down the watchlist at times, but October has offered a bunch of new action movies to watch.

From some brand new titles to the older action movies debuting on Netflix this month, we share a list of the best action movies that should be on your Netflix watchlist right now.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die

Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the much-anticipated fourth entry in the Bad Boys franchise, reunites Will Smith and Martin Lawrence for one of 2024’s biggest box office smashes.

This time out, the cops are trying to clear the name...

Jerry Cantrell has unveiled the title track from his upcoming solo album, I Want Blood. The song features Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan on bass and Faith No More’s Mike Bordin on drums.

“I Want Blood” follows the singles “Vilified” and “Afterglow,” and serves as the final preview of the album before its October 18th release.

The song is one of three tracks on the album that McKagan plays bass on and one of two songs on which Bordin handles drums. Other musicians who contributed to I Want Blood include Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Greg Puciato, Gil Sharone, and Lola Colette.

Of the three singles released thus far, “I Want Blood” sounds the least like Alice in Chains. In fact, it has more of a Queens of the Stone Age vibe. However, Cantrell’s distinct voice and guitar playing are still instantly recognizable.

“There’s a confidence to this album,...

It Chapter 2 has become a streaming hit on Netflix in the U.S. Based on the 1986 horror novel by author Stephen King, the sequel serves as a follow-up to It (2017), with both films having been directed by Andy Muschietti. The first It film follows a group of kids living in Derry, Maine, as they face off against a terrifying, shape-shifting clown called Pennywise (Bill Skarsgrd), while the sequel follows these same characters 27 years later as they return to their hometown. Both films were box office successes, with the sequel grossing $473 million worldwide.

Now, new Netflix data reveals that It Chapter 2 ranks as the seventh most popular movie on the streamer in the U.S. for the week of September 30 to October 6. Unlike with the global chart, the U.S. chart doesn't include watch data for each of the top 10 titles, but the It sequel comes ahead of films...

Jason Statham's action thriller movie The Mechanic, which made $76.3 million at the box office, landed on Netflix's Top 10 US chart 13 years after its release. Statham's action movies are what the lead actor is best known for, being the face of everything from The Expendables movies to The Meg duology. However, one of the action movies that helped expand his role in the gene was The Mechanic, a 2011 remake of the Charles Bronson-led 1972 movie of the same name. Statham's version got mixed reviews from critics, but is still well-remembered for its action sequences.

Now, Netflix has revealed The Mechanic made it onto the streaming service's Top 10 movies list in the US for the week of September 30 through October 6, 2024. The movie came in at Number 5 for the week, just under the Sylvester Stallone-led action film Escape Plan, and just above The Platform 2, a sequel to the streamer's popular 2019 Spanish sci-fi movie.

Escape Plan is one of Sylvester Stallone's lesser known franchises, but in what order do they take place in? After breaking through with Rocky in 1976, Stallone quickly realized the value of building up franchises. He had both the Rocky and Rambo sagas to lean on when he needed a guaranteed hit, and he later created The Expendables for the same reason. Escape Plan is arguably Stallone's worst franchise, though that doesn't necessarily mean there's no fun to be had with them.

The original was one of several Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger movies that the former rivals made in quick succession during the early 2010s. The series cast Stallone as escape expert Ray Breslin, who often finds himself breaking out of or into "inescapable" penitentiaries. The Escape Plan films don't have a particularly convoluted narrative, though the events of one typically have an impact on the next.

Despite returning the property to a dormant state after its release, Taron Egerton's infamous Robin Hood reboot has found new life on streaming. Starring Egerton as the titular folklore rogue, Otto Bathurst's 2018 movie saw a disgraced Robin take up arms against the corrupt powers ruling Nottingham that took his wealth and status to further their own cause, joining forces with the rebelling commoners. Robin Hood also starred Jamie Foxx as Robin's accomplice John, Eve Hewson as his love interest Marian, and Ben Mendelsohn as the Sheriff of Nottingham.

Despite a poor performance at the box office and poor impressions on critics, Robin Hood is finding a surprising new audience on Netflix. Though it holds an unenviable 14% among critics' reviews and a slightly more impressive but still unremarkable 39% among viewers, the feature recently entered Netflix's Top 10 Movies. At the time of writing, Egerton's 2018 reboot holds the No. 8 spot, coming...

2 Guns is climbing the charts on Netflix. The 2013 Mark Wahlberg action movie featured the star playing Michael "Stig" Stigman, a special ops officer with the U.S. Navy opposite Denzel Washington as DEA Special Agent Bobby Trench. Both have been working undercover in narcotic, unknown to the other, which causes an incident that forces them to go on the run with only each other as backup. When it premiered, the movie grossed $131.9 million worldwide against its $61 million budget.

Now, 2 Guns has landed on the daily chart of the Top 10 most-watched movies on Netflix in the United States. The movie appeared at No. 6 on the chart on Saturday, October 5, with all but one movie above it being newly added releases on the platform. Those movies were Escape Plan at No. 5, The Garfield Movie at No. 4, The Mechanic at No. 3, and the new Netflix exclusive The Platform 2 at No. 2.

What...

Escape Plan, the 2013 Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger prison action thriller, has enjoyed a new lease of life on the streaming platform Netflix. The movie, which co-stars 50 Cent, Jim Caviezel, Vinnie Jones, Amy Ryan, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Sam Neill, was directed by Swedish filmmaker Mikael Hfstrm, with a screenplay by Miles Chapman and Arnell Jesko. The movie received mixed reviews and was a box office success, grossing $137 million against a budget of $54 million to $70 million, and was followed by two sequels, both featuring Stallone.

Now, 11 years after the movie's initial release, it appears to be enjoying fresh success on streaming giant Netflix, with the film entering the platform's Top 10 movies in the United States for today. The movie has debuted at number 5 on the charts, edging out the Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg action-comedy 2 Guns, It: Chapter Two, Robin Hood, Jailbreak: Love On the Run, and 2018 Halloween remake,...

Have you heard of the "Escape Plan" franchise? There's no reason to fret if you haven't, as only the first film in the series -- simply titled "Escape Plan" -- was a moderate hit, garnering mixed reviews at the time of release. The remaining two entries ended up being straight-to-video sequels, with little to no marketing to amplify their existence, so it is pretty natural to have completely missed out on the franchise. 

Well, due to the baffling, arbitrary nature of Netflix's algorithm, which often leads to overlooked titles landing in their Top 10 ranking lists, 2013's "Escape Plan" is currently at #3 among the streaming platform's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. (via FlixPatrol). This entry has been eclipsed by two equally unconventional titles: the inoffensive, yet mediocre "The Garfield Movie" at #2, and the morbid 90-minute crime documentary "Jailbreak: Love on the Run" occupying the number one spot.

Eastwood’s creative...

Warner Bros. has released the trailer for Clint Eastwood’s rumored final film, Juror #2, starring Nicholas Hoult. Watch it below.

In the courtroom thriller, Hoult plays a character named Justin Kemp who is serving jury duty on a murder trial and encounters a moral dilemma after realizing he may have caused the victim’s death.

According to the official synopsis, Kemp is a “family man” who “while serving as a juror in a high profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma… one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict — or free — the accused killer.”

While speaking to People, Eastwood described Juror #2 as examining “the gray areas between the black and white of everyday circumstances and makes you decide for yourself.” He continued, “It really intrigues me when a story places a character in a moral dilemma, and this is one that we...

Clint Eastwood is back.

The prolific filmmaker, now 94, will debut his new film “Juror No. 2” in November. On Tuesday, Warner Bros. released the first trailer for the project, which will have its world premiere at this year’s AFI Festival in Los Angeles.

The pulpy legal thriller stars Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, J.K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Gabriel Basso, Zoey Deutch, Cedric Yarbrough, Leslie Bibb, Francesca Eastwood, and Kiefer Sutherland.

Here’s the official synopsis from Warner Bros.

“Juror No. 2 follows family man Justin Kemp (Hoult) who, while serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma…one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict—or free—the accused killer.

As teased in the trailer, the “moral dilemma” for Kemp is that he may have inadvertently killed the victim during a hit-and-run accident.

Eastwood directed the film...

If you're a fan of Clint Eastwood the filmmaker, and how can you not be, it's been a rough stretch. Your mileage may vary, but I don't think he's made a truly great movie since the wildly underrated (and underseen) "Letters from Iwo Jima." I've warmed to "Gran Torino" over the years, but after that the movies –- even the mostly good ones –- have been marked by indifferent craftsmanship (who can forget Bradley Cooper making the fake baby's arm move in what was supposed to be one of the most emotionally charged scenes in "American Sniper").

We know Eastwood is renowned for delivering movies ahead of schedule and under budget, so it was hard not to conclude that his drive to keep working, to keep moving, to keep from doing nothing as he passed into his nineties (he's currently 94) was more important to him than making a finely wrought film.

Nicholas Hoult is haunted by a past crime in Clint Eastwood’s latest thriller.

The Hollywood legend directs Warner Bros. Pictures film “Juror #2,” starring Hoult as the titular juror who actually is behind the accidental death being tried. Toni Collette plays the prosecutor, with J.K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Gabriel Basso, Zoey Deutch, Cedric Yarbrough, Amy Aquino, Adrienne C. Moore, Leslie Bibb, and Kiefer Sutherland rounding out the ensemble cast. Eastwood’s daughter, Francesca Eastwood, also stars.

The official synopsis reads: “‘Juror #2’ follows family man Justin Kemp (Hoult) who, while serving as a juror in a high profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma…one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict — or free — the accused killer.”
