Clint Eastwood ‘Juror #2’ Closing AFI Fest, Sets Theatrical Release
Entertainment

The world premiere of Clint Eastwood‘s Juror #2 will close the 38th edition of AFI Fest on Oct. 27 at the TCL Chinese Theatre. Warner Bros. has also set a limited theatrical release of the movie for Nov. 1.

The premiere of Juror #2 continues a long relationship between Eastwood and AFI as the filmmaker has launched the world premieres of American Sniper (ultimately his highest grossing movie as a filmmaker at $547.7M), J. Edgar and Richard Jewell at AFI Fest.

Juror No. 2 follows family man Justin Kemp who, while serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma…one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict – or free – the accused killer. Pics stars Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, J.K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Gabriel Basso, Zoey Deutch, Cedric Yarbrough, Leslie Bibb and Kiefer Sutherland.

Juror #2 is written by Jonathan Abrams; produced by Eastwood, Tim Moore, p.g.a., Jessica Meier, p.g.a., Adam Goodman and Matt Skiena; and executive produced by David M. Bernstein, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Jeremy Bell. The film features the work of Yves Bélanger, director of photography; Ron Reiss, production designer; Joel Cox, David Cox, editors; Deborah Hopper, costume designer; Mark Mancina, original score; and Geoffrey Miclat, casting.

“There is only one Clint Eastwood – and AFI is proud to present the World Premiere of this next chapter in his historic canon,” said Bob Gazzale, AFI President and CEO. “We are honored to bring the community together once again – artists and audiences – to celebrate an American icon.”

In 1996, Eastwood received the 24th AFI Life Achievement Award, and in 2009, AFI conferred an Honorary Degree upon Eastwood for contributions of distinction to the art of the moving image.
