Dirty Harry's coming back!

[Myersfan73]

Another Dirty Harry film is due to be made, hopefully it will end the series better than The Dead Pool.

But I like The Dead Pool.

But I like The Dead Pool.

I like Rocky V, but it wasn't a fitting ending to the series.

...and we were just screaming out for originality in another thread.

Eastwood is a lot cannier that Stallone so hopefully if this does happen he will do a similar job to what he achieved in riffing his 'man with no name' persona in Unforgiven

Hmmm Eastwood denied it all in the recent Empire but the rumours keep going on...

[Vaughan]

I think he's way passed it to be honest. He sort of shuffles along, and his gravelly voice is just pure gravel now. He's better off on the other side of the camera.

Good to see a decisive end to a legend but mate.....

I saw this story in its entirety over the weekend -the IMDB link quotes a story from The Sun, who seem to be letting the facts get in the way of a good story again....

CANNES, France — Clint Eastwood will not be back as Dirty Harry, but Angelina Jolie might want to give it a try.

Eastwood was asked Tuesday at a news conference at the Cannes Film Festival if he would be reprising the role of Harry Callahan, the renegade cop of "Dirty Harry" and four sequels.

As he laid to rest the notion that he might revive Harry, Jolie chimed in: "I am."

"Dirty Harriet and the `Tomb Raider' will play it," Eastwood joked about Jolie, whose screen credits include the "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider" flicks.

Eastwood was at Cannes for the premiere of his missing-child drama, "Changeling," starring Jolie. The 32-year-old actress was in Cannes for both "Changeling" and her animated comedy, "Kung Fu Panda," which premiered at the festival last week.

Eastwood, who turns 78 on May 31, went on to add that "Dirty Harry would not be on the police department at my age, so we'll move on from that."

The Cannes lineup this year features a retrospective of Warner Bros. classics, including 1971's "Dirty Harry," which comes out in a new DVD edition with the other four films in the series on June 3.

The character has become an icon: a vigilante cop fighting bureaucracy on behalf of victims. For Eastwood, though, it was an exciting detective story first and foremost.

"Whatever reaction it had, it was great fun at that time," Eastwood said. "It was a fantasy role. You point a .44 Magnum at someone and say, `Do you feel lucky?"'

How about a retired Harry coming out of retirement ,sick of the scum of the world and becoming Vigilante?....Now Clint that would be interesting....first on the list should be Sondra Locke....
