When we last reported on Cry MacHo, the American neo-Western drama directed and produced by Clint Eastwood, who also stars in the film, Warner Brothers had announced an October 21st opening date. Now they’ve moved it up to September 17th and released a poster and this new trailer:
No matter what age he is, Clint Eastwood will always be a cowboy at heart.
The 91-year-old actor is back in the saddle for his upcoming movie Cry Macho, a Western drama set in 1979. Along with producing and directing the film, Eastwood stars as Mike Milo, a one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s young son home from Mexico. Forced to take the backroads on their way to Texas, the unlikely pair face an unexpectedly challenging journey, during which the world-weary horseman finds unexpected connections and his own sense of redemption.

Clint Eastwood redefines machismo in the trailer for his upcoming movie “Cry Macho,” out in theaters and streaming on HBO Max on Sept. 17.
The 91-year-old Eastwood directed the film and stars as Mike Milo, an ex-rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who agrees to bring his former boss’ young son, Rafo (Eduardo Minett), home from Mexico. On their journey back to Texas, the pair takes backroads and encounters unexpected challenges, all while Mike forms an unlikely connection with Rafo and develops his own sense of redemption.
“This macho thing is overrated,” Eastwood says in the trailer. “Just people trying to be macho to show that they’ve got grit. That’s about all they end up with.”
“Cry Macho” also stars Natalia Traven as Marta and Dwight Yoakam as Mike’s former employer, Howard Polk. The cast also includes Fernanda Urrejola as Leta and Horacio Garcia-Rojas as Aurelio.

From Warner Bros. Pictures, Imperative Entertainment and Bron Creative comes Clint Eastwood’s newest feature film, the drama The Mule.
In addition to directing, the veteran actor will step in front of the lens again, alongside fellow stars Bradley Cooper, Laurence Fishburne, Michael Peña, Dianne Wiest and Andy Garcia, as well as Alison Eastwood, Taissa Farmiga, Ignacio Serricchio and Loren Dean, Eugene Cordero.
Eastwood stars as Earl Stone, a man in his 80s who is broke, alone, and facing foreclosure of his business when he is offered a job that simply requires him to drive. Easy enough, but, unbeknownst to Earl, he’s just signed on as a drug courier for a Mexican cartel. He does well—so well, in fact, that his cargo increases exponentially, and Earl is assigned a handler. But he isn’t the only one keeping tabs on Earl; the mysterious new drug mule has also...

The Directors Guild has nominated Richard Linklater, Alejandro G. Inarritu, Morten Tyldum, Wes Anderson and Clint Eastwood as the best feature-film directors of 2014, the DGA announced on Tuesday.
Linklater was nominated for “Boyhood,” Inarritu for “Birdman,” Tyldum for “The Imitation Game,” Anderson for “The Grand Budapest Hotel” and Eastwood for “American Sniper.”
The Eastwood nomination was the most surprising of the group, with the veteran director and four-time DGA nominee beating out David Fincher for “Gone Girl,” James Marsh for “The Theory of Everything,” Christopher Nolan for “Interstellar” and, most notably, Ava DuVernay for “Selma,” a late-breaking film that has...

The Directors Guild of America (DGA) is notable in the season for a number of reasons. First, it's a massive voting body unlike most on the circuit, so their nominations choices can often hint toward consensus. Second, their winner very often goes on to win the Academy Award for Best Director, which as we all know tends to presage the Best Picture Oscar. But... ...one wonders how those two elements are being viewed as of late. After all, the last two years have seen a split, once by necessity ("Argo" director Ben Affleck was not nominated), the second time in a close race. Could it be that the Academy will start looking at these categories differently rather than as a package deal? Maybe, maybe not. I have no real answers there. I'm just asking the question. Anyway, the DGA nominated mostly expected names today. Clint Eastwood, naturally. "American Sniper" is cruising.

The Directors Guild of America announced its nominees Tuesday for its annual Feature Film award, and the list contains a few surprises.
Wes Anderson continues to gain momentum for an eventual Oscar nomination for "The Grand Budapest Hotel," snagging a DGA nom for the first time in his career. And Clint Eastwood, who was snubbed by the Golden Globes, made a triumphant return to the DGAs, earning a nod for "American Sniper," his fourth overall nomination from the organization.
One notable exclusion from the list is "Selma" director Ava DuVernay, whose film was also snubbed by the Screen Actors Guild. David Fincher, once considered an Oscar lock for "Gone Girl," was also absent.
The rest of the DGA Feature Film nominees were Richard Linklater ("Boyhood"), Alejandro González Iñárritu ("Birdman"), and Morten Tyldum ("The Imitation Game"). The full list from the DGA, including each nominee's directorial team, is below. Nominations for...

Chicago – Baseball gets the metaphor-for-life treatment once again in “Trouble with the Curve,’ starring Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams. Eastwood plays an aging baseball scout estranged from his daughter (Adams) and seeks redemption in both arenas of his life. Making his directorial debut is Robert Lorenz, who has worked with Eastwood since “Bridges of Madison County.’
Lorenz is from the Chicagoland area, and made the big move to Los Angeles in the late 1980s, with no connections or job opportunities. A fluke answer to a job ad led to his first feature “Femme Fatale” (1991), and a string of assistant director jobs until “Bridges of Madison County” (1995). From there, he became one of the right hand men in Eastwood’s production company, either fulfilling the capacity of first assistant director (“Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil”) or producer (“Flags of Our Fathers/”Letters from Iwo Jima”). “Trouble with the Curve...
