    AceShowbiz – Clint Eastwood has lined up his next project – a movie adaptation of classic novel “Cry Macho”.
    The 90-year-old Academy Award-winning director will direct, produce and star in the forthcoming flick, backed on the 1978 novel by author N. Richard Nash, reported Deadline.
    “Cry Macho” centres on a onetime rodeo star and washed-up horse breeder who, in 1978, takes a job from an ex-boss to bring the man’s young son home, away from his alcoholic mum.
    The pair cross rural Mexico as they return to Texas in what becomes an unexpectedly challenging journey, during which the world-weary horseman finds his own sense of redemption by teaching the boy what it means to be a good man.

    The screenplay, which was originally penned by Nash in the 1980s for a movie adaption, will be re-written by Nick Schenk.
    Clint Eastwood recently joined fellow Hollywood movie moguls like Martin Scorsese, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Judd Apatow, Jon Chu, Sofia Coppola, Alfonso Cuaron, Patty Jenkins, and Michael Bay to sign an open letter pleading with the congress to help bail out cinemas hit by the crisis.
    Film and TV industries have been struggling to adapt to post-coronavirus world since lockdown was first imposed earlier this year. Many projects were either pushed back or called off as the industry was brought to a standstill due to the worldwide pandemic.
    Some projects scrambling to adjust their production included movies “The Batman” and “Cop Shop” as well as TV shows like “Stranger Things”, “Riverdale”, “Batwoman”, “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”, “Supergirl”, and “Chicago Med”.

      A number of Hollywood notable figures including James Cameron and Christopher Nolan have signed a petition urging the government to help cinemas survive pandemic.
      Oct 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Oscar-winning filmmakers Martin Scorsese, Clint Eastwood, and James Cameron have signed a letter calling for U.S. politicians to bail out cinemas hit by the Covid-19 crisis.
      The letter was signed by more than 70 directors and producers along with bosses at the National Association of Theater Owners, the Directors Guild of America and the Motion Picture Association.
      It reads, “The moviegoing experience is central to American life. 268 million people in North America went to the movies last year to laugh, cry, dream, and be moved together.”

      “Theaters are great unifiers where our nation’s most talented storytellers showcase their cinematic accomplishments. Every aspiring filmmaker, actor, and producer dreams of bringing their art to the silver screen, an irreplaceable experience that represents the pinnacle of filmmaking achievement.”
      Others who put their name to the plea to Republican and Democrat leaders in the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives included Christopher Nolan, James Cameron, Judd Apatow, Jon Chu, Sofia Coppola, Alfonso Cuaron, Patty Jenkins, and Michael Bay.
      The pandemic forced cinemas to close in mid-March (20), with major chains reopening with reduced capacity – but movie theatres remain closed in the major markets of Los Angeles and New York City.
      Their missive, reproduced on Deadline.com, claims that 69 per cent of small and mid-sized cinema firms will be forced to file for bankruptcy or close permanently without government help. It asks Congress to redirect unspent funds from a coronavirus aid bill passed earlier this year or to vote for a new package that would direct new funds to help cinemas survive the pandemic.
