Cry Macho | WB | September 17, 2021 | Clint Eastwood Directing/Starring

[filmlover]

This is destined to bow at TIFF now with the date change, possibly as the opening night movie since one hasn't been announced yet.

Just watched Million Dollar Baby recently, man eastwood is an EXCELLENT director when he brings it. Even his “lesser” good movies like American Sniper and Richard Jewell have some moments of brilliance in them. Can’t say the same for 15:17 to Paris though, that movie was truly awful.

 

Basically, I’m pretty excited for this.

This is the best news I've received this week lmao. Can't wait to watch this a whole month earlier.

Where is the trailer? WB released just released a trailer for a crap looking movie that's still not out for months but nothing for this yet. Are they trying to dump another Eastwood film?

What's the crap looking movie?

Eastwood movies have always begun their marketing late in the game. Million Dollar Baby wasn't on the radar until a few weeks before it came out, for instance.

Decided to keep rolling with HBOMax for the year...looking more and more like it may be a wise decision. 

Can't wait to see this, in whatever capacity!

Already looks like the best film of the year.

Pig, Lamb and now Rooster. Great year for animal films.

If this turns out to be good, it’s the type of movie that would do killer business at my theater. Rooting for it.

I look forward to the nuanced look at Mexico that only Clint Eastwood can provide. Might give Rambo: Last Blood a run for its money in that department.

Looks great! Not that I ever expected anything less from Clint.

[SnokesLegs]

Sorry to double post, but I’ve just seen this isn’t getting released in the UK until November 12th, almost a full 2 months after the US…I know this will probably skew older, but having a perfect 1080p rip of this available for two months prior to release thanks to HBO Max will absolutely tank this.

 

WB really doesn’t know how to handle Clint Eastwood’s films outside the US, Richard Jewell bombed here as well…

[Ryan Reynolds]

This is the front runner for Best Picture, can't wait for reactions if it wins

[ThomasNicole]

Dear God what a horrible trailer this have (not that WB trailers are being good this year but still yikes).

 

It try so hard to manipulate audiences around Eastwood popular imaginary and legacy that it became laughable, not effective (except for diehard fans probably).

 

Of course this doesn't mean the movie itself will be bad (it looks slighty like white savior shit but that's expected). But since WB pulled this from the usual October slate for their award bets and put it on September without any screener on festivals i would bet it's not great either, let's see.

[lorddemaxus]

Just the use of The Mission theme makes this a good trailer. And this image probably more striking than any movie released this year so far

I was surprised it didn’t go to TIFF at least. I thought maybe the HBO Max day and date thing is affecting it but Dune is playing so.

Most likely it goes to Telluride (same as Sully).
