Here Comes Clint In His GRAN TORINO!

Clint Eastwood delivers a one-two punch with CHANGELING, opening next Friday wide, and THE GRAN TORINO which opens in December. This is a similar pattern we saw when Clint released FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS in the fall of 2006, and then LETTERS FROM IWA JIMA in December just in time for Oscar contention. The former wen't on to garner and Oscar nomination for Best Picture. IMDB describes GRAN TORINO as...Disgruntled Korean War vet Walt Kowalski (Eastwood) sets out to reform his neighbor, a young Hmong teenager, who tried to steal Kowalski's prized possesion: his 1972 Gran Torino. With CHANGELING receiving mixed reviews, could GRAN TORINO be this years LETTERS FROM IWA JIMA? With many Oscar contenders falling to next year (THE SOLOIST, THE ROAD), it very well could be.
