The 80-year-old actor turned director Clint Eastwood might be famous for his roles in films including “Dirty Harry”, “The Good The Bad And The Ugly” and “Rawhide”, but he also won acclaim for his work as a director in many films such as “Unforgiven”, “Million Dollar Baby”, “Letters from Iwo Jima”, and “Mystic River”. Haven’t losing his steam yet, soon after finished the “Invictus”, a film starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon about how Nelson Mandela used the 1995 rugby World Cup to unite post-apartheid South Africa, the veteran filmmaker is already gearing up for his next movie, “Hereafter”. “I keep finding interesting stories, or they come to me, so I’ll keep making movies.” He uttered. And this new one is a spec supernatural thriller by "Frost/Nixon" and "The Queen" scribe Peter Morgan. Though Eastwood has twice cast himself as something like an angel of death, in the existential westerns “High Plains Drifter” and “Pale Rider”, he has never made a film on an overtly supernatural subject before. Eastwood was attracted to the script because he was in fact keen to direct a supernatural thriller, and liked how Morgan incorporated real-world events into fiction. Eastwood told LA Weekly, "There's a certain charlatan aspect to the hereafter, to those who prey on people's beliefs that there's some afterlife, and mankind doesn't seem to be willing to accept that this is your life and you should do the best you can with it and enjoy it while you’re here, and that'll be enough. There has to be immortality or eternal life and embracing some religious thing. I don't have the answer. Maybe there is a hereafter, but I don't know, so I approach it by not knowing. I just tell the story."
