USA Today have news on Clint Eastwood’s next film once The Changeling is out of the way. It is called Gran Torino.
In it, Eastwood returns to acting and plays Walt Kowalski, a racist Korean War veteran who reluctantly bonds with an immigrant Asian neighbor over a classic car - his 1972 Gran Torino. Eastwood describes his character as "unflattering and potentially controversial", and says the film "slams both prejudice and political correctness."
"I’m a weirdo in it. I play a real racist. … It’s a great time in life (to do that) because, you know, what can they do to you once you’re past 70? There’s nothing they can do. But it also has redemption. This Hmong family moves in next door, and he has been in the Korean War, in the infantry, and looks down on Asian people and lumps everybody together. But finally they befriend him in his time of need because he has no relationship with his family."
Sounds interesting and anything to do with Clint Eastwood is cool in my book. What do you think of the news?
