Clint Eastwood has cemented his status in filmmaking decades ago, but that hasn’t stopped the man from working even at the tender age of 81. He’s currently busy putting the finishing touches on his anticipated “J.Edgar” project but is alto entertaining the idea of acting in a new movie.

Clint is in talks to play a primary role in the baseball drama Trouble With the Curve. The movie would be directed by his producer Robert Lorenze, who has also worked as the assistant director on several Eastwood projects going back as far as his first Second Assistant Director duties for Eastwood on the 1995 Bridges of Madison County…
…Eastwood would play “playing a veteran scout who takes his daughter on the road with him.”
…Randy Brown wrote the script, and there are a couple more details available than EW offers. For one, Eastwood’s character is going blind, and his trip to look at a young player may be the end of the line for him as a scout…
Sounds interesting and none too surprising as Moneyball is doing performing pretty decently at the box office. I love seeing eastwood in film, and this seems like something that is currently right up his alley to proverbiablly “knock one out the park”. I’ll keep my eyes open for more details before I get to commited to wanting to see this.
Did he really leave acting…? Gran Torino was only 3 years ago.
