Eastwood won't rule out 'Dirty Harry' return
Clint Eastwood has not ruled out the possibility of making another Dirty Harry movie.

The actor said he thinks he is too old to star in another film, but admitted that he would not reject the idea out of hand.

He told MTV: "I'm 78 years old, and you're pretty well drummed out of the police force by that age.

"There could be a scenario. I suppose if some mythical writer came out of nowhere and it was the greatest thing on the planet, I'd certainly have to think about it, but it's not like I've ever courted it."

He added: "I feel like that was an era of my life, and I've gone on to other things. I'm not sure about being Dirty Harry again, but who knows?"

Clint also revealed that he was only offered the role after Frank Sinatra suffered a hand injury and was unable to hold a gun.
