The Mule (2018) - Blu-ray Forum

Cremildo · 01-31-2018, 08:37 PM

Eastwood is kicking the tires on “The Mule” over at his usual stomping grounds, Warner Bros. The twist here is that in addition to producing and directing, Eastwood would star as well, marking his first leading role since 2012’s baseball drama “Trouble With The Curve.”

The project is based on a New York Times Magazine story from June 2014 about 90-year-old WWII veteran and horticulturist Leo Sharp who became a drug courier for Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel. He was arrested in Michigan by the DEA carrying $3 million worth of cocaine in his truck, and was sentenced to three years in place, after his defence lawyer claimed Sharp suffered from dementia.

There’s already a script in place by Nick Schenk (“Gran Torino“), with a rewrite by Dave Holstein (“Weeds“). SOURCE

Hell yes. Never wanted Eastwood's acting career to end on the mediocre Trouble With the Curve. This sounds amazing.

Eastwood playing a drug runner whilst also directing the picture?

Sign me the f**k up.

imsounoriginal · 02-01-2018, 12:48 AM

Is it just me or did anyone else think that was Hector Salamanca next to Clint?

Hoke Moseley · 05-10-2018, 07:30 PM

This is happening!

Filming next month in Augusta.

I could watch Eastwood playing bingo in an old age home. I’ll pay money to see him do anything.

drush9999 · 05-11-2018, 05:44 AM

Oh man, Clint acting again is fantastic news.

Clint back in Detroit would be cool.

Shame I only read the headline. In what sick world is Michael Pena worthier of it than Laurence Fishburne?
