Eastwood, at 93, is currently directing the 40th feature of his 52-year-long career as a filmmaker and should he continue at this rate, he surely has a couple more up his sleeve. Juror No. 2, starring Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, Gabriel Basso, Zoey Deutch, Chris Messina, Leslie Bibb and Kiefer Sutherland, is said to be about a murder trial jury member (Hoult) who “finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma”. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film then deals with how the juror is in a position to sway the verdict and potentially convict the wrong killer.
Chris Messina will play the defending attorney with Toni Collette portraying the prosecutor in the film.
