I've heard very little buzz about "Blood work," the trailer
is terrible
(both times I've seen it in the theater, the audience groaned
audibly), Eastwood's last hit was what? Bridges of Madison
County?, and it's not unusual to hear preproduction and
casting news about films that never get made. That's all I'm
saying. The "Blood Work" film may be great. The
"Mystic" film may be great - Helgeland cowrote LA
Confidential, but he also cowrote "Payback" and the
"Postman". What is pretty clear if this casting info is
correct is that the "Mystic" film will depart significantly
from the book. If Eastwood's directing and Eastwood's playing
a character who's either minor or nonexistent in the book,
it's pretty likely that the focus of the film will change
substantially.
That's all. I'd love to be wrong, and your point that
Eastwood can make anything he wants is probably true.
