Los Angeles: Veteran actor-director Clint Eastwood’s next feature film Cry Macho will release October 22 in the US. The Warner Bros film has been directed by Clint Eastwood. He also stars in it. Cry Macho will debut both in theatres and on streamer ‘HBO Max’, reported ‘Deadline’.
In the Western drama movie, Eastwood stars as a one-time rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder in 1978. He takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s young son home and away from his alcoholic mom.
Crossing rural Mexico on their back way to Texas, the unlikely pair faces an unexpectedly challenging journey. During the travails the world-weary horseman finds his own sense of redemption through teaching the boy what it means to be a good man.
The film also features Eduardo Minett and Dwight Yoakam. It is based on a novel by author N Richard Nash who had penned the screenplay with Nick Schenk before his death in 2000.
Eastwood, 90, has produced the movie in collaboration with Albert S Ruddy, Tim Moore and Jessica Meier.
Cry Macho opens on the same weekend as Paramount’s Snake Eyes and Edgar Wright-directorial Last Night in Soho.
