Hoult and co-stars Toni Collette and Gabriel Basso also discussed the new film possibly being the 94-year-old's last at the AFI Fest premiere on Sunday.
following a juror for a high-profile murder trial who is struggling with a serious moral dilemma that could influence the verdict.about the “dream come true” of collaborating with the iconic filmmaker after growing up on his movies.
“They always say don’t meet your heroes, but this is a case where it’s amazing to meet your heroes because he’s cool and calm and collected, he has an ease about life and with people and a charm and a glint in his eye and always a cracking sense of humor,” Hoult said. “He cares about what he’s creating, he trusts the people around him and he trusts the audience too.” The actor also praised “the community that he has built — many of the collaborators he’s worked with for many, many years.
With Eastwood — who was not present at the premiere — now in his mid-90s, there is an assumption that this film may be his last. But his cast is keeping a more open door on that, as Hoult said he didn’t want to speculate on Eastwood’s future and was “just glad that whilst I was working I got to make one with him.”
Collette added, “He will do it as long as he wants. I do know in the strike, I was like, ‘What have you been doing?’ He’s like, ‘I’m looking for material and can’t find anything.’ So he’s endlessly creative, he’s a true artist.” Gabriel Basso, who plays the accused murderer in the movie, joked of labeling this Eastwood’s final film, “I feel like just because people say that he’s going to say, ‘Screw you guys, I’m making another one;’ even if it’s five minutes long I feel like he’ll find a way just to stick it to everybody.”The Criterion Collection’s ‘CC40’ Limited-Edition Boxed Set Is Coming Soon: Here’s the Full Film List and Where to Buy Online.
