Clint Eastwood’s next film may not be as a director. The legendary actor/director is in talks to star in the drama Trouble with the Curve for Warner Bros. Deadline reports that Robert Lorenz is making his directorial debut with the project that centers on an aging baseball scout who heads on a last road trip to Atlanta with his daughter as he’s losing his sight. Eastwood was set to make his next directorial project the remake of A Star Is Born, but star Beyonce’s unexpected pregnancy has pushed the production date back. Eastwood had previously professed that his starring turn in Gran Torino would likely serve as his last as he had no plans to act again, but the Randy Brown-scripted baseball drama must have caught his eye. The fact that Lorenz has been a longtime business partner of Eastwood’s, and even served as an assistant director on a number of his films, probably had something to do with changing his mind as well.

    It’s Clint, and this could be good, but I think Gran Torino should be is last. It worked for so many groups. It was a touching drama, a grumpy old man comedy, a gripping thriller.

  • Randy Brown (but not the screenwriter of Trouble with the Curve)

    I hope that film comes to fruition. Good on ya Randy Brown. Hope to give you some screenwriting competition in the future with my western. Had always hoped it would be my name paired with the legend. Randy Brown, screenwriter, Canada

    I am honored that Clnt Eastwood decided to do “one more” depicting the sport I love, Baseball. And I am thrilled the movie theme not only debunks the sham and false premise of “Moneyball” but stresses the value of Baseball scouts and what vital role they play in acquiring talent for teams, the most important thing a Baseball club does. I can’t wait for it to begin its run.
