- Oscar-winning actor and director Clint Eastwood, 96, has officially retired from Hollywood.
- Among his extensive filmography, the 1990 film White Hunter, Black Heart generated a cult status, despite being a box office flop upon its release.
- The adventure drama, directed by and starring Eastwood, portrays director John Wilson's erratic behaviour while making a film in Africa, becoming obsessed with hunting an elephant.
- White Hunter, Black Heart is based on Peter Viertel’s 1953 book of the same name, which is a thinly disguised account of his experiences working on 1951 film The African Queen starring Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn.
- Eastwood's last directorial effort was the 2024 legal thriller Juror No 2, and his final screen appearance was in the 2021 western thriller Cry Macho.
