Clint Eastwood skips premiere of his movie amid 'cold shoulder' by studio
Nicholas Hoult is in the lead role in Juror No. 2
(Web Desk): Holywood icon Clint Eastwood skipped the premiere of his director work Juror No. 2 starring Nicholas Hoult in the lead role.
Juror No. 2 became Clint’s fourth film to premiere at the AFI festival. However, the 94-year-old Hollywood icon didn’t appear for the premiere, which was attended by cast members Toni Collette and Nicholas Hoult.
The actor cum director’s absence at the premiere comes after Variety reported that the film, which may well be his last directorial effort, is only slated to be released in 50 theaters, with no plans to expand later and no streaming release date announced.
The publication also reported that Warner Bros. will likely not report box office grosses on the film and went on to allege that the studio is “burying” the Dirty Harry star’s film.
