WARNER BROS “JUROR #2” - Do you ever catch yourself saying…”I wish they made movies like they used to?” We saw this trailer for Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film “Juror #2” and it instantly brought us back to those classic courtroom legal dramas like “The Firm” or “The Pelican Brief.” With Clint’s direction, the edge-of-your-seat script by Jonathan Abrams, and a powerful score by Mark Mancina — this trailer gives us that beautiful nostalgic feeling. It will debut at AFI Fest and in theaters Nov 1.
