Plot: A recovering alcoholic on a jury faces a moral dilemma when he realizes he might be the key to the murder case he’s been selected for.

Review: Juror #2 has recently generated headlines more for its unceremonious dumping by Warner Bros. than for its content. Once seen as a potential awards contender, the film has been dropped in about 50 theaters in the U.S. with the bare minimum of marketing (Warners has even reportedly stated it’s not going to announce the film’s box office take at the end of opening weekend). To be sure, even this New York-based reviewer could only find a handful of theaters showing the Clint Eastwood movie, strange indeed considering the filmmaker’s legacy. Perhaps we’ll learn more about the whys of this case soon, but having seen it for myself the answer could be simple: it’s just not the kind...

One of the better films to come out of Clint Eastwood’s long directorial late period, the courtroom drama Juror #2 turns an unlikely premise rich with fidgety, noirish guilt into a thorny moral dilemma. The juror of the title is Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult), a lifestyle magazine writer and recovering...

Remember the days when anyone could simply head on over to their local theater on a whim, check the marquee for whichever movies happened to be playing next, and treat themselves to any number of solid, efficiently-made pictures made specifically for adults? That nostalgic scenario might as well feel as extinct as the dinosaurs in the year of our Lord 2024, but don't you dare tell that to Clint Eastwood. It goes without saying that at 94 years old, the nonagenarian is much closer to the twilight of his prolific career than its dawn, but the inevitable passing of time hasn't slowed him down one bit. If anything, he continues to prove that time has only forged a filmmaker as scrupulous, focused, and impassioned as ever.

Granted, the release of his latest sees Eastwood navigating a much different studio system than the one which first ushered him into the spotlight as one of our greatest American storytellers.

Clint Eastwood understands America as an imperfect but noble project, its levers of power flawed but pulled toward justice and honor. If Juror #2 is indeed his last film behind the camera, its focus on truth and justice alone makes it a fitting one. So clearly influenced by Eastwood’s contrarian streak, it can feel more than a little naïve at times, sometimes even inscrutable, but the tautness with which this pulpy, tense, and undeniably curious legal drama has been crafted makes it easy to overlook its often preposterous plotting.

A recovering alcoholic and lifestyle magazine writer with an expectant wife at home, Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult) is selected to serve on the jury for the murder trial of a man accused of beating his girlfriend and dumping her body in a roadside gulch—a crime that he comes to believe is actually a hit and run committed by himself. In both dialogue and story structure,...

Anyone who has served on a jury, or even been summoned to participate in jury selection, can recall the inevitable tension that direct participation in the justice system can provoke. Countless others might recognize the distinct hallmarks of the experience from an abundance of movies and TV episodes: the bailiff’s courtroom call to order, the jury selection process and the unpredictable uncertainties of the trial process.

But while the often-static setting of Juror #2, Clint Eastwood’s latest feature, will no doubt feel familiar, the narrative twists of Jonathan Abrams’ agile script add fresh perspective to the courtroom drama. Eastwood’s long list of awards and near-incomparable professional longevity will certainly stir interest in Warner Bros.’ Nov. 1 bow, even if the film itself remains a rather understated addition to the Oscar winner’s considerable career.

Debuting his newest releases at AFI Fest has become something of a ritual for the 94-year-old multi-hyphenate,...

Clint Eastwood has consistently directed feature films for over 50 years. He is now 94 years old, which could potentially make the soon-to-be-released Juror #2 his final movie. Given his illustrious legacy, both in front of and behind the camera, it’s somewhat puzzling that Warner Bros. seems to be burying Juror #2, which will reportedly be screened in less than 50 theaters.

Juror #2 will premiere at AFI Fest on October 27th, and Warner Bros. will give the film in limited release on November 1st. Given Eastwood’s decades-long partnership with the studio, not to mention the billions in box office grosses over that time, you’d think the studio would treat Eastwood’s potentially final movie with a little more respect. Well, according to Variety, this is the respectful approach for the studio.

The film, which was produced on a budget in the mid-$30 million range, was originally conceived as a streaming release. Warner Bros.

It isn’t everyday that you have the chance to watch a Courtroom thriller unfold on the screen. Let alone one helmed by Clint Eastwood himself. The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly star’s pedigree and reputation mean that the hype was unreal for his upcoming flick.

With the trailer of Juror No. 2 officially out, their wait is finally at an end. Judging from the trailer, it is safe to say that they’ve got their reward.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official trailer and poster for Juror #2, the new movie from filmmaker Clint Eastwood.

Eastwood’s creative...

Nicholas Hoult revisits a confusing night in the first trailer for Clint Eastwood’s courtroom drama feature Juror No. 2.

Warner Bros. Pictures releases Eastwood’s movie in select theaters on Nov. 1. Juror No. 2 centers on family man Justin Kemp (Hoult), who gets selected as a juror on a prominent murder trial and begins to grapple with a distressing moral dilemma that could impact the suspect’s fate.

“I got called for jury duty, the Kendall Carter case,” Hoult somberly says in recounting a car collision during his drive home after a night at a bar. “Maybe I didn’t hit a deer.”

Toni Collette, J.K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Zoey Deutch, Cedric Yarbrough, Francesca Eastwood and Kiefer Sutherland round out the cast.

Doing the right thing can be challenging. We want to think that we’d take the higher ground when faced with tragedy, but when push comes to shove, we tend to save ourselves when staring down the barrel of a grim fate. In Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2 trailer, Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult) must decide what kind of person he is when coming face-to-face with the possibility of being guilty of another man’s crime. The high ground suddenly feels insurmountable, and the choice between freedom and incarceration looms. What would you do?

Clint Eastwood directs Juror #2 from a script by Jonathan A. Abrams. The intense thriller focuses on a family man named Justin Kemp, who struggles with a severe moral dilemma while serving as a juror in a high-profile trial. He could sway the jury with what he thinks he knows, potentially clearing an innocent man, but the information comes at a cost.

Clint Eastwood is back.

The prolific filmmaker, now 94, will debut his new film “Juror No. 2” in November. On Tuesday, Warner Bros. released the first trailer for the project, which will have its world premiere at this year’s AFI Festival in Los Angeles.

The pulpy legal thriller stars Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, J.K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Gabriel Basso, Zoey Deutch, Cedric Yarbrough, Leslie Bibb, Francesca Eastwood, and Kiefer Sutherland.

Here’s the official synopsis from Warner Bros.

“Juror No. 2 follows family man Justin Kemp (Hoult) who, while serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma…one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict—or free—the accused killer.

As teased in the trailer, the “moral dilemma” for Kemp is that he may have inadvertently killed the victim during a hit-and-run accident.

Eastwood directed the film...

If you're a fan of Clint Eastwood the filmmaker, and how can you not be, it's been a rough stretch. Your mileage may vary, but I don't think he's made a truly great movie since the wildly underrated (and underseen) "Letters from Iwo Jima." I've warmed to "Gran Torino" over the years, but after that the movies –- even the mostly good ones –- have been marked by indifferent craftsmanship (who can forget Bradley Cooper making the fake baby's arm move in what was supposed to be one of the most emotionally charged scenes in "American Sniper").

We know Eastwood is renowned for delivering movies ahead of schedule and under budget, so it was hard not to conclude that his drive to keep working, to keep moving, to keep from doing nothing as he passed into his nineties (he's currently 94) was more important to him than making a finely wrought film.

Nicholas Hoult is haunted by a past crime in Clint Eastwood’s latest thriller.

The Hollywood legend directs Warner Bros. Pictures film “Juror #2,” starring Hoult as the titular juror who actually is behind the accidental death being tried. Toni Collette plays the prosecutor, with J.K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Gabriel Basso, Zoey Deutch, Cedric Yarbrough, Amy Aquino, Adrienne C. Moore, Leslie Bibb, and Kiefer Sutherland rounding out the ensemble cast. Eastwood’s daughter, Francesca Eastwood, also stars.

The official synopsis reads: “‘Juror #2’ follows family man Justin Kemp (Hoult) who, while serving as a juror in a high profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma…one he could use to sway the jury verdict and potentially convict — or free — the accused killer.”

However, a year later he’s called for jury duty about a murder case that he realizes may have a connection to his “deer” run-in.

Prolific filmmaker Clint Eastwood’s thriller Juror #2 will open in select theaters on Nov. 1, days after making its world premiere as the closing-night film of the 38th AFI Fest.

The 94-year-old director’s new film stars Nicholas Hoult as a family man who, while serving as a juror on a high-profile murder trial, finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma he could use to influence the verdict and potentially convict, or free, the wrong killer. Toni Collette, J.K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Gabriel Basso, Zoey Deutch, Cedric Yarbrough, Leslie Bibb and Kiefer Sutherland also star.

There’s been speculation as to whether Juror #2 will be a part of this year’s awards race, and that chatter will only increase now that it is opening during the heart of awards season and playing at AFI, just like his Oscar contenders American Sniper and Richard Jewell.

In this instance, however, the AFI...

Clint Eastwood’s latest film “Juror #2” will make its world premiere as the closing night film for the upcoming 38th edition of AFI Fest, the festival announced Thursday.

Nicholas Hoult leads the cast of the film that will be released later this year by Warner Bros. Pictures. The world premiere of “Juror #2” will screen at the historic Tcl Chinese Theatre on October 27.

“There is only one Clint Eastwood – and AFI is proud to present the World Premiere of this next chapter in his historic canon,” said Bob Gazzale, AFI President and CEO. “We are honored to bring the community together once again – artists and audiences – to celebrate an American icon.”

Several of Eastwood’s more recent films behind the camera have all premiered at AFI Fest, including “American Sniper,” “J. Edgar,” and “Richard Jewell.” In 1996, Eastwood was awarded with the 24th AFI Life Achievement Award, and he received...

This Batman: Caped Crusader article contains spoilers.

“Oof,” says a purple-clad woman with a tantalizing slit running up the side of her dress. “You’re definitely a lot sexier than in those sketches,” she tells a stoic Batman.

Modern viewers may not recognize the green and purple get-up, but between the pointy ears on her head and her flirty attitude toward Batman, anyone can identify the burglar as Catwoman, chief villain of the Batman: Caped Crusader episode “Kiss of the Catwoman.”

A new animated version of the baddie/love interest will of course invite comparisons to the Batman: The Animated Series version and for good season. That ’90s animated series gave some of the Dark Knight’s villains their definitive stories. The Clock King was never scarier than he was in the episode bearing his name and “Heart of Ice” made Mr. Freeze into a tragic figure. Even when it...

This Batman review contains spoilers.

Everything you need to know about Batman: Caped Crusader happens in the opening credits. Sepia-tone shots of Batman glowering from a rooftop or skulking through empty rooms give way to images of the Gotham police office and gangsters firing tommy guns, all set to a moody, mournful score. Fancy art-deco script introduces the creatives involved, including producer credits for J.J. Abrams and The Batman director Matt Reeves.

Then there’s Bruce Timm, whose influence on the series is unquestionable from the moment the credits scene kicks off. Caped Crusader plays like an updated version of the great Batman: The Animated Series, which Timm created with Eric Radomski. Male characters may not have the same barrel chests and female figures don’t all have hourglass shapes, but the same linework and designs from the ’90s show is present. Each frame appears painted on black matte paper again,...

Like any icon who’s been around long enough, Batman has appeared before us in a nigh-infinite number of permutations. There are Batmans who fly solo, and Batmans who have Robins. There are Batmans who’ve been at this a while, and Batmans who are new to the job. There are campy Batmans and gritty Batmans, wholesome Batmans and scary Batmans, and every single shade in between.

The first task of any new version, then, is distinguishing itself from the others. Batman: Caped Crusader achieves that easily: It’s a noirish animated take set in the 1940s, not long after the character’s real-world debut in the comics. The second task is persuading us that this new iteration has what it takes to stand on its own, and in that sense its success is more mixed. With a sleek, simple style and a consistently moody vibe, the Prime Video series...

It’s a Not Dead Yet murder mystery! Season 2 Episode 5 of the ABC comedy will see Gina Rodriguez‘s Nell on the hunt for a possible killer after her latest obituary ghost, played by guest star Rob Corddry, warns that his death was no accident. And TV Insider has the exclusive first look at the episode. In the promo above, Coddry’s ghost tells Nell he was “pushed” to his death. “This could land me the front page!” the eager journalist replies. No one’s more thrilled by the murder mystery than boss Lexi (the hilariously camp Lauren Ash), who inserts herself into Nell’s investigation once she catches wind of this possible true-crime scenario. “Girls’ night? A night of girls solving a murder? I’m in,” Lexi excitedly says. Their suspected killer is played by Cedric Yarbrough, whom Corddry’s ghost (an accountant) says was not pleased about being audited.

Han's life is unraveling in the first season of the Lucky Hank TV show on AMC. As we all know, Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Lucky Hank is cancelled or renewed for season two.

Please Don’t Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain is a coming-of-age adventure comedy film directed by Paul Briganti, from a screenplay by the Please Don’t Destroy guys Martin Herlihy, Ben Marshall, and John Higgins, who also stars as the three main leads in the film. The Peacock is the first SNL film since 2010’s MacGruber and I have to say that it doesn’t disappoint.

The Treasure of Foggy Mountain revolves around three childhood best friends Ben, John, and Martin who live and work together, but lately, John is getting the feeling that all of them are drifting apart. To get them all closer once again he takes them on a treasure hunt on the titular Foggy Mountain. This adventure is filled with hilarious gags, witty dialogues, and silly comedy which keeps you laughing from the beginning to the end.

While The Treasure of Foggy Mountain is funny,...

As October turns to November, it is a great time to be a subscriber to Peacock as not only is the NBCUniversal streaming service able to bring audiences a ton of titles perfect to watch in preparation for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, but it also is the streaming home to some of the best football action at both the college and NFL levels. When you throw in new movies and series that are original and exclusive to Peacock and from across the NBCU family of networks, it is a good time to sign up for either a Peacock Premium ($5.99) or Peacock Premium Plus ($11.99) plan.

So, we here at The Streamable have put together a list of the five most exciting things coming to Peacock in November, and down below, you can take a look at everything new coming to the streaming service in the month.

What Are the...

The comedy team known as Please Don't Destroy from recent seasons of "Saturday Night Live" have made quite a splash on the late night sketch comedy show. Acting as what is basically the newest equivalent of The Lonely Island, the trio comprised of Martin Herlihy, John Higgins, and Ben Marshall delivers hilarious pre-recorded sketches, and they're also part of the writing staff. Now, like many "SNL" cohorts before them, Please Don't Destroy is releasing their first movie, and the first trailer has arrived.

Originally intended for theaters, "Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain" is coming to Peacock in November instead, probably because the title wouldn't fit on most marquees. But in all seriousness, don't let its streaming destination make you think this movie isn't worth your time. This is the kind of comedy that studios aren't making much anymore, and it likely feels like it's just too much...

"Everyone is after this treasure!" NBC's Peacock has debuted an official trailer for Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain, a feature comedy from the SNL comedians.

The group was originally founded in 2017, based on an act titled Please Don't Destroy My Farm. The film follows the three "Please Don't Destroy" friends as deadbeat grown-ups. When they realize that they don't like their life trajectory, they set off to find a gold treasure that is rumored to be buried in the nearby mountain. Martin, John, and Ben co-star, along with Conan O'Brien, Bowen Yang, Meg Stalter, X Mayo, Nichole Sakura, Cedric Yarbrough, Sunita Mani,...
