Posted: 3/29/13 at 10:45pmWow, this is a surprise. Not sure how I feel about that. I like some of his movies and I know he has a composing background but directing a musical based on a Broadway production???

And we all remember Clint's musical performance in the film version of PAINT YOUR WAGON.
Will JERSEY BOYS even work as a movie? Not without a lot of changes.
Cast albums are NOT "soundtracks."
Live theatre does not use a "soundtrack." If it did, it wouldn't be live theatre!
I host a weekly one-hour radio program featuring cast album selections as well as songs by cabaret, jazz and theatre artists. The program, FRONT ROW CENTRE is heard Sundays 9 to 10 am and also Saturdays from 8 to 9 am (eastern times) on www.proudfm.com

Take Empty Chairs At Empty Tables and add it to the mix
Remember what happened to Annie with Huston at the helm.

not that i think eastwood should be allowed to do this, but j edgar actually got *some* good notices, if memory serves... i'm not sure it can objectively be called a strike-out.
(also, not that it matters, but I rather liked invictus.)

Posted: 3/30/13 at 9:05pmEastwood is a fantastic director. Regardless of his personal feelings towards things, the man is ridiculously talented and more than capable of directing fluff like JERSEY BOYS.

Posted: 3/30/13 at 9:08pmI agree with JC. Granted, his movies tend to be a bit overlong, but he did well with BIRD.

I just checked -- Invictus got good critical notices and two Academy Award noms (Freeman and Damon, not Eastwood, but still). Definitely not a strike out.
I think the guy's a d*ck, too, but Jordan, as ever, is correct.
