“I got called for jury duty, the Kendall Carter case,” Hoult somberly says in recounting a car collision during his drive home after a night at a bar. “Maybe I didn’t hit a deer.”
Toni Collette, J.K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Zoey Deutch, Cedric Yarbrough, Francesca Eastwood and Kiefer Sutherland round out the cast. Eastwood helmed the film from a script by Jonathan Abrams. Eastwood, Tim Moore, Jessica Meier, Adam Goodman and Matt Skiena serve as producers.
Among the members of the creative team are such frequent Eastwood collaborators as director of photography Yves Bélanger, production designer Ron Reiss, editors Joel Cox and David Cox and costume designer Deborah Hopper.
Juror No. 2 is set to premiere at the American Film Institute Festival on Oct. 27.
Eastwood’s most recent feature as director was 2021’s Cry Macho, in which he also starred. Before that, the Oscar-winning filmmaker helmed such titles as Richard Jewell, The Mule and The 15:17 to Paris.
Hoult’s recent credits include The Menu, Renfield and voicing pet owner Jon Arbuckle in The Garfield Movie. The actor’s packed upcoming slate includes starring alongside Bill Skarsgard in this year’s vampire-themed Nosferatu and playing Lex Luthor in filmmaker James Gunn’s 2025 release Superman.
