Eastwood's 'Torino' a Dirty Harry sequel?
Published Thursday, Mar 20 2008, 15:08 GMT | By Simon Reynolds
Eastwood played rogue San Francisco cop Harry Callahan in five films, starting with 1971's Dirty Harry. He last played the character 20 years ago in The Dead Pool. Callahan's "Do I feel lucky?" monologue is often quoted and parodied in popular culture.
Ain't It Cool News reports that producers have been trying to buy a 1972 Ford Gran Torino for the Warner Bros movie. The plot is alleged to revolve around the retired Callahan seeking to track down the killer of two young police officers, one of whom is his grandson. The only thing known about the murderer is that he drives a Ford Torino.
Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford have all recently returned to franchises they made popular in previous decades.
