USA Today have nabbed the first set of press material for the Clint Eastwood directed drama GRAN TORINO, which also marks his first acting role since his Best Actor nomination for MILLION DOLLAR BABY four years ago.
The movie which has been produced, shot, edited and completed all in 2008… will open on limited release on Dec. 12th.
In the movie he plays Walt Kowalski, a racist Korean War vet whose prized possession 1972 Ford Muscle classic car becomes the object of affection from a gang of local youths (one from an immigrant background) in his Destroit Neighbourhood. The rifle from the poster, is his weapon of choice to protect his baby
Reminds me of the kind of movie John Wayne did in the twilight of his career.
Before GRAN TORINO, Eastwood’s THE CHANGELING with Angelina Jolie opens in the U.S. on Oct. 31st and in the U.K. on Nov. 28th.

I hate to see this guy getting old but I bet he still kicks as in this!
Good to see Clint in front of the camera again especially in a role like this. I loved Million Dollar Baby as I thought it was great! Really looking forward to this!
