• Randy Brown is a fine writer and this is a terrific script. It’s the kind of role that Clint wins an Oscar for.

  • Gerard, have you read the script? Can you tell us a bit more about it? What makes it so terrific? Why do you think Clint Eastwood will win an Oscar for it? I don’t want to know anything too spoilerish about it, but is there more than meets the eye to this project? I dislike baseball. How much does baseball feature into the film?

• YES! Harrison Ford could definitely take a cue from this fellow legend.

  Bring it on, Clint! You’re timeless!

• I’m kind of surprised that this article doesn’t mention this would be the first movie Clint stars in but doesn’t direct since In the Line of Fire back in 1993!

• I am pretty sure this will be a good film…. experience usually means good work just need a good actress to play the daughter

• Man, I’m glad he didn’t follow thru on his threat to retire from acting.

• Awesome. Love you Clint, but I don’t think we need another “Star is Born,” especially starring Beyonce. Every version has gotten progressively worse since the original.

• Whenever it’s Clint before the camera and a Malpaso employee behind it, Clint is the de facto director. Every damn time. Just ask Richard Tuggle, James Fargo and Buddy Van Horn.

  Eastwood has made some terrific movies but he is VERY hard to direct and I wish Mr. Lorenz best of luck in the attempt.

• Clint Eastwood, the renowned director, star, musician, iconic legend in his life time, etc. has charmed our lifes with his movie projects for years and years. Oh, and I forgat, as a owner of couple of restaurants in Carmel, California as well.
  In seing him in various places locally in the Monterey Peninsula he speaks very softly, is charming to ladies and all around nice man. There is something about his demeaner, that draws the people to him, only he is very carefull in allowing himself to get too familier with strangers.
  Clint’s beautyfull wife, Dina Ruiz, is very popular in her own right as a local, sometimes newswoman in our local TV. They make a nice couple and we are glad to have them to be living here locally.

• Angelina Jolie should play his daughter

• Any film featuring Clint has got to be a good thing. As long as it doesn’t star Sondra Locke – I’m there!

• I am glad to see Mr Eastwood is back on the Silver screen again ! I hope he finally gets the academy award for BEST ACTOR for this project “Trouble with the Curve” he has a “presence” that I have never seen in anyone else on this planet. He draws people to listen, learn and respect ever interview or appearance he makes ! So I guess if I ever had the opportunity to meet him I would be “the first cab off the rank” (Hope he comes to Auckland New Zealand oneday !)
