Earlier, we had reported that Hollywood veteran Clint Eastwood is working on a new thriller with frequent collaborator Warner Bros. Titled Juror #2, Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette were previously added to the film's cast. Now, Zoey Deutch will also be a part of the film, which is said to be the veteran's final one. 

The story takes place during a murder trial and follows a juror, to be played by Hoult, who realises that he may have caused the victim’s death. He must decide whether to manipulate the jury to save himself, or reveal the truth and turn himself in. Collette is in talks for the role of the prosecutor. Deutch's role in the film currently remains undisclosed. 

Eastwood, who last directed the 2021 Western drama Cry Macho, will helm from a script by Jonathan Abrams. The 92-year-old filmmaker will also produce the project alongside Adam Goodman, Tim Moore, Jessica Meier and Matt Skiena. Executive producers are Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Jeremy Bell.

Warner Bros has greenlit the project, with a production start eyed for June, following Eastwood’s 93rd birthday on May 31.
