9. Clint Eastwood's Cry Macho

Produced, directed and starring Clint Eastwood, Cry Macho is based on the 1975 novel of the same name. The American neo-Western drama is about an old rodeo clown, played by Eastwood, who is hired to bring a young boy back to his father, taking him away from his alcoholic mother.

Cry Macho is a passion project for Eastwood who has been working with the material since 1988, though at the time he passed on making it to work on another Dirty Harry film. The screenplay was adapted by the original author, N. Richard Nash, back in 2000.

As the material has been in production for so long, this project could really go either way. However, the pedigree of people involved suggests that it's going to be a hit. Like many other Warner Bros. pictures in 2021, it is set for release on HBO Max on the same day that it hits theatres, the specific date as yet unknown.
