A last minute surprise release was added to the 2018 calendar last week, as Clint Eastwood’s The Mule (written by his Gran Torino screenwriter Nick Schenk) is suddenly slated to arrive in December. Eastwood actually stars in this, his first acting role in 6 years, and at age 88 too. As off as he might be in real life (I’ll never forget that empty chair moment at the RNC in 2012), it is admirable that anyone his age is still directing and starring in their own movies. Don’t know if this one will be any good or not, but you gotta give him that.
