Who needs to retire? Not Clint Eastwood apparently. At 94 years young, the legendary movie star and award-winning director has a 2024 new movie for audiences, Juror No. 2, a courtroom thriller.
Eastwood is just behind the camera for this one, after last appearing in his 2021 movie Cry Macho, but he has put together a star-studded cast for a story about a juror faced with a difficult choice as he sits on a murder trial. Could this movie be among the potential Oscar contenders for this year?
Before we find that out, here’s everything you need to know about when Juror No. 2 is coming to screens, who’s in it and more.
Juror No. 2 release date
According to multiple reports, Juror No. 2 is set to receive a limited release date on November 1 in the US and UK. It should then roll out to additional movie theaters in the US in the subsequent weeks, but the specifics of that expansion weren’t shared at this time.
It’ll have its world premiere just days ahead of that, as Juror No. 2 is set to serve as the closing night movie for the 2024 AFI Film Festival in Los Angeles on October 27.
Juror No. 2 joins a number of potential awards contenders premiering on November 1, as that date will also see Blitz, Conclave and A Real Pain debut.Â
