Who here doesn’t love a good courtroom drama? It only gets better from here because Clint Eastwood takes his spot on the director’s chair for his upcoming movie, Juror #2, written by Jonathan Abram. Eastwood has previously directed critically acclaimed movies like American Sniper, Gran Torino, Million Dollar Baby, and Flags of Our Fathers.
Now, Eastwood takes his talent to the courtroom with Juror #2 and to make this movie a success, he is also joined by an ensemble cast, with distribution rights to the movie acquired by Warner Bros. Pictures.
What is the Plot of Juror #2?
Juror #2 follows Justin Kemp, a family man with a loving wife who is pregnant, but it doesn’t take his life to completely change after one unfortunate night. Justin thought he accidentally hit a deer with his car.
Later, when he sits on jury duty for a case where a woman was allegedly murdered by her boyfriend after a brutal fight, Justin realizes that the boyfriend might be innocent after all. Justin now faces a moral dilemma and you can catch a glimpse of that in the official trailer of the movie!
The Cast of Juror #2
Playing the role of family man Justin Kemp is none other than Nicholas Hoult. Hoult’s career has seen plenty of success in the last few years with some of his roles in Renfield, The Great, The Menu, and Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga amongst other critically acclaimed titles.
Joining Kemp in the cast of Juror #2 are Toni Collette (Hereditary, Pieces of Her), J. K. Simmons (Whiplash, The Union), Chris Messina (The Mindy Project, Based on a True Story), Zoey Deutch (Set It Up, Why Him?), Cedric Yarbrough (The Boondocks, Reno 911! The Hunt for QAnon), Kiefer Sutherland (Designated Survivor, The Lost Boys), Gabriel Basso (The Night Agent, Trigger Warning), and Francesca Eastwood (Outlaws and Angels, Awake) among others.

Juror #2 will be premiered at the AFI Fest on October 27, 2024, but only a few days after that, on November 1, 2024, the movie will be available to a larger audience on the big screen.
This courtroom drama is poised to be a jarring experience, and has been in the works since June 2023! We highly recommend marking your calendars, because Eastwood almost never misses the mark with his movies.
