Los Angeles: Hollywood veteran Clint Eastwood is returning to acting with sports film Trouble With The Curve.
The 81-year-old star, whose directing effort include films like Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino, is keen to star in the movie, which tells the story of an ageing baseball scout who has lost his eyesight but sets out on one last trip with his daughter to watch an upcoming star, reported Ace Showbiz.
The Warner Bros film is set to be directed by Robert Lorenz, who worked with the actor on Mystic River and Blood Work, while the script has been written by Randy Brown.
Eastwood, who previously claimed his last acting role would be in 2008’s Gran Torino, where he took up the role of lead character Walt Kowalski – recently said that he would consider playing the next James Bond.
“I don’t know, I never say never, like James Bond or something,” he said.
Eastwood’s next movie endeavour is J Edgar, which he directed, and a remake of A Star is Born alongside Beyonce Knowles, but that is thought to have been delayed because she is pregnant. (PTI)
