First Look At Clint Eastwood In ‘Trouble With The Curve’
After Grand Torino in 2008, Clint Eastwood flirted with the idea of retirement. And no one would have blamed him. He was 78-years-old at the time and had amassed a body of work that just about every living actor is jealous of. But apparently there’s just no stopping Eastwood. The 82-year-old actor is heading back to the silver screen for his new movie, Trouble With The Curve.
Entertainment Weekly reports that Eastwood’s decision to return to acting was heavily influenced by Trouble with the Curve director Robert Lorenz. Lorenz has been Eastwood’s right hand man on several movies (Million Dollar Baby, Mystic River, Blood Work, Space Cowboys, True Crime, Absolute Power…) so when he approached Eastwood about starring in a new baseball movie, Eastwood stepped out of his unofficial retirement and stepped back in front of the camera.
EW reports that this is the first time that Eastwood has starred in a movie directed by someone other than himself in nearly 20 years. The last time Eastwood was directed by someone else was in 1993 when he starred in John Lee Hancock’s A Perfect World.
In the new movie, Eastwood plays an aging baseball scout who brings his reluctant daughter, Amy Adams, on a recruiting trip.
Lorenz said:
“He gets his chance to prove whether he still has value as a scout—and as a dad… They’re having trouble communicating. They always have, and now they’ve come to a point in the relationship where it’s either going to change or it’s not. He needs a little help, and she decides it’s worth the effort.”
The movie also stars John Goodman and Justin Timberlake, who plays an up-and-coming baseball scout.
Are you excited to see Clint Eastwood back in front of the camera?

Poor journalism! Clint Eastwood directed A PERFECT WORLD! The last film he starred in and didn't direct was Wolfgang Petersen's IN THE LINE OF FIRE, which I believe was also in '93. How many seconds would it have taken to check that up?
Jul 27, 2012
Awesome. Eastwood is the best, AA is absolutely stunning at times, and Timberlake is really growing some chops. Adding Goodman just ups the ante. And it's a baseball movie! I can't wait to see it!
Jul 27, 2012
ugh, another overcoming adversity baseball movie. eastwood is awesome, but no thanks.

Clint can make all the movies he wants. I've always loved the guy and my admiration doubled when he said he said he'd.
Kill Michael Moore if he ever showed up at his house with a camera. Moore did this to Charlton Heston who, at the time, was suffering from Alzheimer's. Eastwood was responding to that incident. Love the guy.
Jul 27, 2012
YES, YES and YES! Any movie he acts in or directs is one I want to see to say nothing of what he might compose for the project. He is a film icon and treasure!
Jul 27, 2012
You have to love this guy.I have never seen a bad Eastwood movie.Even the monkey movies were passable.
Jul 27, 2012
IF HE IS 82 AND FEELS LIKE DOING A MOVIE WOW THAT's GREAT. HE IS GREAT TO WATCH AND IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ACTORS, DIRECTORS. GOD BE WILLING AND LET HIM DO AS MANY AS HE WANTS TO.
Jul 27, 2012
best ever
Jul 27, 2012
It's great to see one of my favorite actors back on the big screen. Clint Eastwood is still the best. And I'm looking foreward to see it when it comes out.
Jul 27, 2012
Need to make a new "monkey" movie, with it crapping in the President's limo.

When Clint stopped doing Westerns, I loved his directing, but he really needs to do one more western and get the guy from the allstate commercial to play the lead. Then get him to open up a new generation " Dirty Harry Jr." with the same guy. Watch the guy in the allstate commercial, don't you think he'd make the perfect Dirty Harry!

I aready saw ths movie and I think it is okay.. but I think he has reached his peak.. but he keeps trying to do better. His last few films. HereAfter, Invictus, J Edgar have not been box office winners that's three in a row. With the exception of Million Dollar Baby, Gran Torino that's it..

I love Clint Eastwood…and I am so happy to hear that we will have another one of his movies to go see…because there sure ins't anything else out there to go see…very rarely anyway!

First of all, that was a JOKE, as Eastwood was receiving the Special Filmmaking Achievement award from National Board of Review and Micheal Moore was in attendance to receive the "Freedom of Expression" award…and he laughed along with everyone else…
Secondly, Heston was far from being a doddering old fool when Moore interviewed him for "Columbine" and in case, the interview was filmed even before Heston publicly announced he was diagnosed with symptoms consistent with Alzheimer's disease in August of 2002, just 2 months before the film's release…
I won't say it was Moore's finest hour, but I hardly feel sorry for Heston…if you're gonna advocate for gun rights and elimination of nearly all restrictions as the President of the NRA, you should be able to handle some pointed and even biased questioning without relying on sympathy…

Clint Eastwood: THE ONLY CONSERVATIVE STILL MAKING IT BIG IN HOLLYWOOD.
We need his Dirty Harry to clean up the house.
Both in Hollywood and Washington.
Jul 27, 2012
Eastwood has, for years, been one of the privileged few who can afford to turn down scripts and that is why you only see him in really great pictures. If Clint is doing the film, I'll bet a couple of theater tickets it will be a good one. Ike Matthew Ogosi is right….Clint last acted under another director in " In The Line Of Fire", not " A Perfect World".

As a fellow republican (libertarian) I also like Eastwood's political ideals. I also like the fact that he's for civil rights for everyone. I wonder if he'll eat at CFA after saying this: "These people who are making a big deal about gay marriage?" Eastwood tells GQ. "I don't give a f*** about who wants to get married to anybody else! Why not?! We're making a big deal out of things we shouldn't be making a deal out of … Just give everybody the chance to have the life they want."

Anyway you cut it, Charlton Heston was old. I can't imagine that fat fool Michael Moore trying that with anyone that he felt that he couldn't bully! Of course, he laughed all the way to the bank – buying those stocks that he so disdains – and living in luxury while sheep like you trail along behind him believing that he actually represents the "little" people!

The problem with retirement is what to do with the time. It all sounds good till it becomes reality. His wife is much younger, of course. Retirement might be a strain on the marriage.
Jul 27, 2012
Clint is a moderate conservative, not a right wing extremist tea bagger. He wants nothing to do with you America hating baggers.
Jul 27, 2012
Sorry, the orangutan flicks sucked big time. In fact everything Sondra Locke appeared in was drivel.

You Poor People keep Paying for Moore's Extravagant Rich Man Life Style as Moore exploits Your Pain!! Moore doesn't want to Help You!! Like All The Far Left Liberals/Socialists/Communists they want to Live High off the Sweat of Your Brow, Keeping You Down in a 2 Class System Them and the Have Nots!!!! Just Look at the Taxes Obama has Poured on the Middle Class and the Company Obama Keeps. Conservatives Donate Monies to Charities!!!! The Crazy Left, such as Hollywood, George Soros, etc… Donate to Their Own Causes and Not to Charities!!!! You don't believe me? Check Obama and Biden's Charity Deductions on Their IRS Tax Returns!!!! Most People make more per week than they Donate in Year, less than 1%.

I have to look, Tom, but I thinks Mr Wallach passed away a few months back.
As soon as I finish this post I am going to look it up.

Tom I made a mistake, Mr. Wallach is still around, thanks God.
Ninety seven years old and kicking

You know nothing about the Tea Party. It's the liberals who hate America and want to and have been destroying it. You really need to do some real learning and read the truth about the history of the USA.
Jul 31, 2012
I know the tea party is a bunch of old, racist, free loaders living on govt welfare/entitlement programs. I know Obama will be re elected easily.

Love Clint at every age…hope this isn't his last movie! Still a very sexy man!
Aug 2, 2012
Yeah, it was a joke. Bet Moore doesn't go anywhere near Eastwood's house with a camera. Also, you sound like a fool. Possibly doddering too. or Diddling. Whatever.
Aug 2, 2012
Ken Grabowski, I have no idea who your remark was pointed at, but Hollywood as a whole is a Liberal Cesspool!! Hollywood thinks that it is Great that they are Wealthy, but for Hard Working Americans that toil everyday, it is wrong!! Clint Eastwood and Tom Selleck are 2 of the Conservatives left after the passing of Charlton Heston!! Michael Moore is a slob and Lives just the way as he Preaches against!!
