If “Juror #2” comes to fruition, it will be Eastwood’s 40th directorial effort. The 92-year-old filmmaker, renowned for his versatility, recently helmed and starred in “Cry Macho” (2021), adding another gem to his impressive filmography.
His past directorial ventures include acclaimed titles such as “Letters from Iwo Jima” and “Flags of Our Fathers” (2006), “Million Dollar Baby” (2004), “American Sniper” (2014), and “Sully” (2016).

As the trial progresses, the juror finds himself torn between manipulating the jury to safeguard his own interests or disclosing the truth and accepting the repercussions.
According to Discussing Film, “Juror #2” is currently in development at Warner Bros., a studio that Clint Eastwood has been closely associated with throughout his esteemed career.
While there are reports suggesting that the film could be considered Eastwood’s final directorial project, there are also rumors circulating that he may choose to continue working.
