http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/03/grantorino.jpgWhile he's shown a certain flair for historical pieces, we sincerely doubt that Clint Eastwood would forego his formidable film-crafting talent to make a documentary about a mid 1970's Ford that can be had for a dollar per pound. Details are scant, but Warner Brothers has targeted December 2008 as a release date for Gran Torino, which Eastwood both stars in and directs. Eastwood is no stranger to the big Ford - he drove a '72 in Magnum Force (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-0BVT4cqGY&feature=related), the sequel to Dirty Harry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujfFSW9074c), in which he wheeled a '68 Ford Custom. Despite the title we tend to doubt the movie will be terribly car-centric - who'd want to watch that?
