I understand filmig is taking place in the Detroit area beginning today, July 14, 2008. What a great place to film Eastwood for this type of role. Would love to be associated with the production company. Any ideas who they are?

Well whatever will bee these movie, for the public its enought that the star in the movie will bee the MAGNIFIC and BRYLIANT actor of film historry CLINT EASTWOOD, and is not important if it will bee another “DIRTY HARRY” or “MAN WHITH NO NAME”, its important that HE WILL MAKE US HAPPY and he will GO AHEAD and MAKE THE DAY to us

Anything Clint is invloved with is worth seeing. At first I was a little skeptical on this being another Dirty Harry but if anyone can pull it off at age 78, its Clint.

WELL, YES HE CAN! JUST BECAUSE DIRTY HARRY IS 78, DOESN’T MEAN HE IS NOT FIT AND YOUNG AT HEART. 78 IS JUST A NUMBER, LOOK AT THE REAL CLINT EASTWOOD. LIKE MYSELF HE IS A RUNNER, HE TAKES GOOD CARE OF HIS HEALTH, AND I BET HE COULD GO AFTER ANYONE THAT MIGHT HURT HIS FAMILY. I HAVE BEEN A RUNNER FOR 30 YEARS, I WILL BE 59 IN MAY, AND I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE CLINT AT 78, STILL RUNNING AND STILL WORKING, I AM A TEACHER AND A GRANDMOTHER TO 7. I WORK WITH YOUNG SPECIAL STUDENTS. WAY TO GO OLD MAN, BECAUSE AGE IS JUST A NUMBER, IT IS HOW YOU FEEL THAT REALLY COUNTS , AND HARRY, CLINT AND I ARE ONLY 17 AT HEART. MY HUSBAND AND I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE MOVIE TO COME OUT. WE FELL IN LOVE WATCHING DIRTY HARRY. AND WE WILL ALWAYS SUPPORT HIM. HE IS WHAT AMERICANS NEED TO BE-NO NONSENSE TOUGH.

Who’s writing this script? And I wonder how old Dirty Harry is supposed to be. They’ll probably say he’s something like 62? There’s no way a 78 year old guy is doing anything but hit the buffet line at the early bird special.

I really expected this to be debunked by today, and yet it continues to spread. Not really sure what to make of that.

The AICN scoop sounds %100 fake, but it’s the details surrounding this film that really make me curious.

Why is Warner eager to rush another Eastwood film in time for December? If it’s just for the Oscar nod…isn’t that what The Changeling is already there for?

Another routine thriller like Blood Work doesn’t really justify a holiday release. Clint’s recent non-Oscar films haven’t exctly fired up the box office. Meanwhile, every Dirty Harry film (except The Dead Pool) was released in December…

This is certainly the most interesting Dirty Harry 6 rumor we’ve had in years.

I love Clint Eastwood, too, but how does this sound remotely “solid” or “on the money”? A guy sent an email to AICN saying he put up an ad for his car, and someone from Village Roadshow came by and spilled the plot of the new Dirty Harry film to him? I don’t mean to be a downer here, but did I miss the part of the post where there’s something verifiable?

Uh… April first is still eleven days away, guys…. I hope the entire rumour isn’t based on that one asshat’s email, otherwise, I’ll be damn, damn disappointed.

I’m hoping for an “Unforgiven in San Fran” feel rather than a retread of “The Rookie” or something. I want an old, tired, Dirty Harry, who has to build up to his old baddass self over the course of the movie.

I’ll take whatever Eastwood gives us though. I don’t think he is the type to drag out his old characters just for the attention/cash (I’m looking at you Ford and Stallone).

*is currently watching dirty harry on netflix.

This is awesome news - I’ve been wanting to see this for a while. I remember reading an interview with him that said he’s seen a lot of scripts but none really fit and he was just waiting for the right one to come across, so hopefully this one will live up to the characters legacy.

hunter:
i completely forgot about the time frame so yer right, a shoot em up harry is very likely, but maybe its an idea he’s had for a while and has already had plenty of early behind the scenes/script prep. maybe thats just wishful thinking on my part, but i truly am hoping we dont see something too far fetched, because i keep watching eastwoods golden years in absolute awe, and i’d hate to see a trainwreck. HOWEVER - it would be very legit if he played harry true to form, knowing that this character brought him much success, so why deviate. show harry the respect, you know?

id follow eastwood anywhere, even inside the actors studio. and for all its cheese, eastwood fans will enjoy it, seeing as how the man keeps such a low profile.

@ OC

This is plausible, but I have to wonder, given the small time frame he has to prep and shoot it if he’ll just make a dirty ole bastard of a Dirty Harry movie again. It could very will be a meditation on the other five films in the vein of Unforgiven or it could be “give ‘em what they want…with blood icing” like Rambo. Personally, I’m hoping for a 78-year-old pissed off geezer who can’t see innocent bystanders (and/or just doesn’t care).

Inneresting. I’ve never watched James Lipton do his smarmy magic wasted.

@ Anthony

If true, that ad wizard certainly spilled the beans didn’t he. :)

@ gag

He’s dirty.
