Eastwood talks legacy, box-office success of 'American Sniper' At CinemaCon
84-year-old Oscar-winning director and producer Clint Eastwood was honored in Las Vegas Wednesday at "The Legend of Cinema Luncheon: A Salute to Clint Eastwood."
His drama, "American Sniper," was the top-grossing film at the U.S. box office for 2014.
With a global gross of more than $500 million, "Sniper" is Eastwood's biggest hit.
Eastwood says he didn't have a clue the film would get that kind of reception.
Because, really, you put a film out, you don't -- halfway through every film I've ever made, I've thought, 'Nobody's ever going to want to see this.' Because you just get accustomed to -- not being pessimistic, but just wonder, 'How did I get here? Why am I doing this?' And just, sometimes, it turns out you hit a certain chord with an audience and then you're off and running."
Eastwood has been in show business for more than 60 years.
In addition to directing and producing, he has enjoyed huge success as an actor, and also is a Golden Globe and Grammy-nominated composer of film-scores.
Other best-known Eastwood films include "Unforgiven," and "Million Dollar Baby".
Sam Waterston, Glenn Close attend premiere for Tim Blake Nelson indie film
Tim Blake Nelson has premiered his film "Anesthesia" in New York City, at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Nelson wrote, directed, and starred in the film.
He says it's quite appropriate to release his film in this city.
"Perfect. I couldn't imagine a better place and everybody always says that but I actually can say it credibly because it's a New York story with New York actors and a New York crew and we're putting it in front of a New York audience."
Nelson spoke at the premiere of the movie Wednesday night, where stars Sam Waterston and Glenn Close walked the red carpet.
Waterston - who starred in the iconic New York TV series "Law and Order" said he loved filming "Anesthesia" in The Big Apple:
"Shooting in New York is a wonderful thing for me. I love this city. I came here, ah, let's see - about a half-a-century ago so it's been my hometown even when I haven't actually lived in it for all those years. I love this place."
The story centers around Waterston's character, a Columbia University professor who is brutally mugged at the opening of the film.
The whole story takes place over a two-day period.
The Tribeca Film Festival runs through April 26th.
