The Hollywood titan shows no sign of stopping after directing Juror No 2 last year, which some were labelling his “final film”.
However, the star’s Sully screenwriter exclusively told Daily Express that “he will never retire” and “he’ll die on set”.
Now, in a new interview, Clint Eastwood has confirmed his next movie is in pre-production. Little is known about the project just yet, but the actor-director is known for his fast turnarounds.
Speaking with Austrian newspaper Kurier, the 95-year-old said he was in good shape and no one should worry about his health “for a long time yet”.
He said: “There’s no reason why a man can’t get better with age. And I have much more experience today. Sure, there are directors who lose their touch at a certain age, but I’m not one of them.”
Bemoaning modern Hollywood’s remakes and franchises, Eastwood said: “I long for the good old days when screenwriters wrote movies like ‘Casablanca’ in small bungalows on the studio lot. When everyone had a new idea. My philosophy is: do something new or stay at home.”
Eastwood added: “As an actor, I was still under contract with a studio, was in the old system, and thus forced to learn something new every year,” he said. “And that’s why I’ll work as long as I can still learn something, or until I’m truly senile.”
