Who saw this coming? Director Clint Eastwood has signed on to direct the umpteenth remake of A Star is Born for the big screen and guess who’ll play the lead? Beyonce Knowles! The Grammy winner and former Dreamgirl has snagged the part that’s been previously played by Barbra Streisand, Judy Garland, and Janet Gaynor.
Clint Eastwood has reunited with his Invictus star Matt Damon for the supernatural film, Hereafter. It asks the question of: what happens after you die? And it places a microscope on the legitimacy of psychics and mediums. With an international cast including actors from England and France, the director pulls together 3 stories that focus on one major theme: life after death. Check out the review…
A couple weeks ago we reported that I’m Still Here star Joaquin Phoenix was slated to join Leonardo DiCaprio in the Clint Eastwood biopic, Hoover. The actor was rumored to play his right hand man and lover in the film. Could you imagine Leo and Joaquin going at it? It’s an interesting concept (and visual) but it’s not happening. Eastwood has confirmed that the actor has not been cast in the movie.
Now that the truth is out regarding Joaquin Phoenix’s latest “film” I’m Still Here, we’re ready for him to get back into the real acting game. The two-time Oscar nominee claimed to have retired from his craft back in 2008 while embarking on a hip hop career that turned out to be a hoax. According to Vulture, director Clint Eastwood wants to bring Phoenix back into the acting fold with a role in his upcoming biopic Hoover.
Eastwood wants your tears, it’s how he stays young. In case you thought Academy Award winning director Clint Eastwood was thinking about retiring, he’s proving that he’s not only still here, but he’s tackling yet another epic adventure and going for yet another Oscar. Written by Peter Morgan (The Queen, Frost/Nixon) and starring his favorite leading man Matt Damon, Warner Brothers has just released Eastwood’s trailer for his latest film Hereafter.
Aside from the actual story (which seems somewhat supernaturally basic) there are some very emotional images in this trailer that are undoubtedly going to pull at your heartstrings. We’ll get to the details after the jump…
Last week we brought you the first photo from Clint Eastwood’s upcoming drama, Hereafter. The film reunites the director with his Invictus star Matt Damon and has an unconventional premise. According to THR, Hereafter will mark the director’s fourth feature to play at the New York Film Festival with his latest closing the event.
Earlier this spring it was announced that Clint Eastwood would be directing a biopic based on the infamous, J. Edgar Hoover. Shortly after the film was confirmed, speculation sprung up that Leonardo DiCaprio was in talks to play the FBI figurehead and now according to a report from Deadline his casting has been confirmed!
Leonardo DiCaprio has his eye on Clint Eastwood’s developing J. Edgar Hoover film entitled, Hoover. It was announced early this month that the Oscar winning director would take on the story of the real life FBI head. DiCaprio has already worked with the likes of Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, and of course Martin Scorsese so maybe it’s time for him to spend some time with good old Clint.
Early last week we told you about Milk screenwriter Dustin Lance Black’s upcoming J. Edgar Hoover biopic and according to THR, Oscar winning director Clint Eastwood is eyeing the project, which would have him teaming up with Imagine Entertainment’s Ron Howard and Brian Grazer.
