ANDThe shooting set of a movie is full of hobbies and preferences on the part of all members, especially performers and directors. One of the most acclaimed in Hollywood is Clint Eastwood, who has spent years in front of and behind the cameras and, supposedly, will say goodbye with ‘Juror #2’. Director has a very curious veto on Coca-Cola And it goes back to the 80s.
According to Espinof, it’s all because of ‘Karate Kid’ and his casting process. Although everyone knows that Ralph Macchio got the leading role and put himself in the shoes of Daniel LaRusso, there were other applicants who fell by the wayside and regretted when they lost the opportunity. One who showed up for the casting was Kyle Eastwoodson of Clint Eastwood and who at that time intended to follow in his father’s footsteps.
A veto that lasts four decades later
Apparently, the protagonist of films like ‘The good, the bad and the ugly’ He did not like that his son was rejected and therefore imposed a veto on Coca-Cola, then the owner of Columbia Pictures, in charge of the film directed by John G. Avildsen. From that moment on, no product from the beverage brand could be present in his shoots and, instead, it was Pepsi the one that came out winning.
Despite the fact that Coca-Cola sold Columbia Pictures in 1989, that did not stop Clint Eastwood from extending his ban and has maintained it to this day. His daughter, for his part, transformed his career and, although he made some appearances in films and series, found his way in the music industrybecoming one of the most important jazz bassists.
meanwhile though in ‘Juror #2’ there will be no Coca-ColaYes, there will be a dose of emotion, since it will be Eastwood’s farewell as director. Little is known about the film, which began shooting last July with Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, Zoey Deutch, Kiefer Sutherland and Leslie Bibb leading the cast.
