Gran Torino Poster

Clint Eastwood conitnues to be one of the most prolific senior citizens in Hollywood. His film THE CHANGELING hasn’t even been released yet, and already hype has started building around his next directorial effort, in which he plays the lead as well, called GRAN TORINO. In it he plays Walt Kowalski, a disgruntled racist Korean War vet who attempts to reform his neighbor, a young Hmong immigrant teenage neighbor (introducing Bee Vang), who, as part of a gang initiation, tried to steal Kowalski’s prized possession: his 1972 Gran Torino. The film is being fast tracked for awards consideration, which means that Eastwood may have a shot at an acting nomination, as well as two directing nods. Eat your heart out Clooney.
