American Sniper is going to have a MASSIVE opening. Clint Eastwood is such a legend (an actual, undeniable one).
The fact that he went from producer to director on The Bridges of Madison County just so he could cast Shitryl.
Quote:
What particularly galled Streep was being told by Warner Bros. that at 45 she was too old to play a 45-year-old in "The Bridges of Madison County." Meanwhile, 65-year-old co-star Clint Eastwood was playing a man of 50.
"The studio told Clint to get a younger co-star," recalls Streep. "Clint finally had to say he'd direct the movie himself so he could have the person he wanted in the part."
