Production

[edit]

It was announced in April 2023 that Clint Eastwood had set the project as his next film,[1] with Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette in negotiations to star.[2] They were confirmed the following month, with Zoey Deutch and Kiefer Sutherland also joining the cast,[3][4] and Gabriel Basso entering negotiations for a role.[5] In June, Leslie Bibb was added to the cast.[6] In November, Chris Messina joined the cast while Basso was confirmed.[7] J. K. Simmons, Amy Aquino, Adrienne C. Moore, Cedric Yarbrough, Chikako Fukuyama, Onix Serrano and Francesca Eastwood were added in December.[8][9]

For Collette and Hoult, it would be their reunion on the big screen 22 years after playing mother and son in About a Boy (2002). For Deutch and Hoult, it would be the second time they have been seen on screen, after working together on the film Rebel in the Rye (2017).

Production began in June 2023,[1] with filming locations including Savannah, Georgia and Los Angeles,[10][11] before it was suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[12] Production resumed in November upon the conclusion of the strike.[7]

Post-production had wrapped by April 2024.[13]

Music

[edit]

By September 2024, Mark Mancina had composed the score for the film.[14]

Release

[edit]

Juror #2 is scheduled to have its world premiere as the closing film of the 38th edition of the film festival AFI Fest on October 27, 2024, and is scheduled to be released in limited theaters on November 1, 2024, by Warner Bros. Pictures.[15]

The release of Juror #2 continues a long-standing relationship between Eastwood and AFI, as the filmmaker has launched the world premieres of American Sniper (2014), J. Edgar (2011), and Richard Jewell (2019) at the AFI Fest.[16]
