A new Dirty Harry?
A reader from down under says since Clint Eastwood insists he’s now too old for the role, why doesn’t he direct the Aussie actor as Harry?
THE MAJORITY of movie fans throughout the world would love to see Hollywood produce a new Dirty Harry movie, even though Clint Eastwood himself has ruled that out [“Revolver Revolution,” June 1]. Eastwood does have his age to consider when it comes to playing a role of Harry Callahan, even though he could certainly still direct such a movie.
For a modern-day Dirty Harry movie, why not try to get Hugh Jackman to play Harry Callahan? Jackman is one of Australia’s finest actors and he would make a great new Callahan. If a new movie is a great success, then more could be produced every two or three years.. With a director like Eastwood and an actor like Jackman playing the role of Harry Callahan, a new Dirty Harry movie could have the potential to be a worldwide success!
