Clint Eastwood's next directorial "Richard Jewell" has a release date of 13th December 2019. Warner Brothers, who previously partnered with Clint Eastwood on last year's "The Mule" is looking to boost its Oscar chances with this real-life based drama.

Previously called "The Ballad of Richard Jewel," the movie is about an American security guard Richard Jewell, (Played by I, Tonya breakout Paul Walter Hauser) who heroically saves thousands of lives from a bomb explosion at the 1996 Olympics. However, he was unjustly vilified by journalists and the press who falsely report that he was a terrorist.

Clint Eastwood will direct from Billy Ray's script who adapted Marrie Brenner's Vanity Fair article. The movie also stars Sam Rockwell, Olivia Wilde, Jon Hamm, Kathy Bates, Nina Arianda, in pivotal roles.
