Clint Eastwood is 77 years old,
which means he is in no mood to take any crap
from any young punks, mainly,
anyone who is younger than he is.
On Tuesday,
studio executives at Warner Brothers
revealed the 77-year-old legend will direct
and star in Gran Torino.
No further details were released,
other than the project has a December release
date penciled in.
According to movie news web site
AintCoolNews.com,
Gran Torino will be the sixth Dirty Harry film,
and the first since 1988's The Dead Pool.
The Oscar winning Eastwood also starred as
maverick cop Inspector Harry Callahan in
Dirty Harry (1971), Magnum Force (1973),
The Enforcer (1976) and Sudden Impact (1983),
which he directed.
Gran Torino's plot reportedly follows a
retired Harry Callahan as he hunts down the
killer of two police officers,
one of whom is his grandson.
The villain drives a Ford Torino.
Will Harry have some new catch phrases
to enter the vocabulary after this film?
"The senior's buffet at Shony's starts
promptly at 4 PM, and you are standing in
the seniors line, punk, and you are standing
in front of me!
At a time like this,
you have to ask yourself,
will this cranky oldster beat me up the side
of my head with his cane,
or do I feel lucky?!
Well, do ya, punk?!"
"This is the 44 Magnum,
the most powerful handgun in the world,
It's bullets will pass through the human body
faster than eating a high fiber diet with prunes!"
"Go ahead, make my oatmeal!"
Eastwood isn't the only action hero returning to his roots,
Sylvester Stallone recently resurrected his Rocky and Rambo
franchises;
Bruce Willis made his first Die Hard movie in 12 years;
and Harrison Ford is back as '80's hero
Indiana Jones this summer.
Pending future movie tles are,
"Indiana Jones and The Mid Life Crisis."
"Rambo 12, Skateboarder Scofflaws VS Serenity Village Seniors"
"Die Hard In Bed Sleeping At 95."
"Dirty Harry Old Man With No Country."
