Juror No. 2: Francesca Eastwood Shares Insight into Her Experience on Set with Her Father

As a die-hard fan of the Eastwood dynasty, I can hardly contain my excitement for Francesca Eastwood‘s latest project, Running on Empty. The thought that this could potentially be Clint Eastwood’s swan song is almost too much to bear, but the silver lining is the solid flick it promises to be!


Francesca Eastwood discussed her latest film, “Running on Empty,” which explores the question, “What if you knew the precise day of your death?” In addition to this movie, she’s been occupied with other ventures, such as the eagerly awaited production, “Juror 2,” helmed by her award-winning father. The film boasts a talented ensemble, while fans speculate whether this could be his last project.

Francesca expressed that considering the question is challenging for her, given she’s his daughter, since many people working on the set of Juror No. 2 were particularly invested because they saw it as his final film. She added that there were more newcomers than usual crew members. Despite her feelings, she acknowledged the movie was well-made and referred to it as a strong film with impressive performances. She also mentioned feeling fortunate to be part of it.

Francesca expressed her enthusiasm for the movie and mentioned that she couldn’t reveal any details about her role. However, she was incredibly proud of both her father and herself. Over the span of six distinct decades, Clint Eastwood has created cinematic masterpieces.

In Season 3 of Fargo, Francesca Eastwood teamed up with her famous actress mom, Frances Fisher. They played the same character at different stages in life. Speaking about it, Francesca expressed her immense pride and admitted to feeling fortunate for the role, despite being quite nervous at the time – looking back, she wishes she’d been more self-assured as she was in her early twenties during the filming. She highly appreciated her mother’s portrayal of the older character and was content with her own performance. Fisher delivered a convincing portrayal without much dialogue adjustments.

Furthermore, Francesca opened up about working alongside her father, Clint Eastwood, on Juror No. 2, and offered behind-the-scenes perspectives on the upcoming darkly comedic film centered around death.

In the movie “Running on Empty,” Francesca Eastwood mesmerized viewers with her portrayal of Nicola, a character who combines traits from Legally Blonde and a seductive femme fatale. After a high-tech forecast suggests she has only a few months left to live, Nicola breaks up with Mort (Keir Gilchrist). Eastwood, attracted to the film’s dark comedy and its examination of life, death, and meaning, found the role particularly intriguing.

She shared, “I think about that stuff every night. So I absolutely loved that. Nicola is so unconcerned about death in a way that I am not, and I thought it would be a lot of fun to play someone with an agenda and a shamelessness about their situation.” Running on Empty is currently playing in theaters.
