Jonah Hill looked like a bad choice imo. Actually, he's a bad choice for almost anything that isn't a comedy.
I barely stand him in Moneyball and the Wolf of Wall St.

this is Variety's reporter...
I would've put my chips on Plemons but.... it seems Clint wanted more of an unknown with Hauser. So it's sort of interesting casting - he looks like Jewell and we've only seen him in gimmicky comic parts so he has the ability to really surprise I'd hope. But it's a risk too, you're putting him next to Oscar winners and as far as I know this is a movie that's largely on his shoulders. Just saying, he better show up ready for one-take Clint...!

Will this be ready by the end of the year? Could become a contender, if Clint delivers. But he has kinda entered the "Tom Hanks"-zone if you will, which means, even if the film ends up being better than good, is the Academy going to be impressed enough with his already well established zen-like directorial approach?
Plus, while the cast looks interesting, the casting of the lead is a bit worrisome I think. As Mattsby has mentioned, Clint is a fine director of actors, but they have to be total pros. Maybe I'm wrong but he doesn't seem like the guy who guides an untested, maybe somehow unsure actor through a difficult dramatic challenge, see the awful performances in that Train to Paris thing (I know, non-actors in that one, but you know what I mean).
But could also end up as the breakout performance of the year (Plemons though... missed chance there). And boy, Rockwell is everywhere these days! Deservedly so!

the only Clint news that would interest me is a retirement announcement.

I feel that Eastwood will get it out by the end of the year, but I don't think it will go anywhere aside from maybe Sam Rockwell getting nominated just because he's so hot right now, and I don't know if he has a better chance with this or Jojo Rabbit. I think this just because he might split votes in Jojo Rabbit with Taika Waititi. Maybe this will surprise me like American Sniper ended up doing when I thought that his streak at the Oscars had come to an end, but I feel like critics will have their knives out again. Not that necessarily means anything because of Bohemian Rhapsody last year, but I don't know if the box office will be there like it was for American Sniper or The Mule to possibly offset potentially bad reviews. I'm guessing Eastwood isn't going to act in it, and I don't think the subject matter will appeal to the flyover states like American Sniper and Sully did. Plus, I'm also worried about Paul Walter Hauser as the lead. If he nails it, Eastwood looks like a genius again, but there's always a chance that it might not work out.

Clint could easily complete this project and start shooting his next one, all by the end of the year.....

Nina Arianda joinsGreatttt add and will be acting opp Rockwell. They costarred on Broadway in 2015, Fool for Love. Didn’t see it but they seem to me to make a perfect acting pair.

Definitely a role she could do in her sleep... especially after Goliath.

I figured that this would come out this year. Will it be more like The 15:17 to Paris or American Sniper? It's a baity subject, but my feeling is that they're really over Eastwood now, and critics aren't going to be of any help. Plus, Paul Walter Hauser doesn't have the heat that Bradley Cooper brought with him during the time of American Sniper. From Deadline, which also has a little bit about a screening for The Report, right above this too,

I'm hopeful, since The Mule was good and - well, for a while now Clint has been directing from scripts written by lightweights, but Billy Ray here is a good sign, and it's a potentially powerful story. As for Hauser - he won't have to carry the movie, as it seems more ensemble oriented. Awards wise, it depends on Warner Bros who literally anti-campaigned for The Mule. Their slate is busy but there's room for a surprise...

Of course it will be released this year. That's what Clint does: casting, pre-production, filming and post-production, all in about 2-3 months time

I still like to think that The 15:17 to Paris was just one huge slip by Eastwood. While his movies over the last decade were certainly one or rather three steps down from his work in the 2000s, there still were some good works within. So that's the level I'd also expect with his new film. Though obviously I always hope that he once hits a home run again.

The movie will be released on Dec 13 this year. Eastwood's done it again The guy is one of the quickest and most efficient filmmakers in the business. I'll be surprised if he crashes the Oscar race though. There's been a far less reverential attitude towards Eastwood by critics since he started being much more open about his political leanings (the whole Obama chair thing probably kicked it off) and movies of his that once might have been overpraised and become sure-fire Oscar juggernauts are met with a bit of a "meh" by critics. I feel like 10 or 12 years ago, critics would have fallen over themselves to declare The Mule an Oscar frontrunner....now it feels like many of them just sort of wish he wasn't still around. Though critics aren't the be all and end all in Oscar races these days, it really helps late releases if they praise you like the second coming.

Though critics aren't the be all and end all in Oscar races these days, it really helps late releases if they praise you like the second coming. His quick and efficient filmmaker is a large part of the reason why and he WB have had such a long relationship. Eastwood's great at coming under-budget and on-time. In regards to Oscar potential, I think there another to note is that the "quality of his films" as of late haven't been seen as great. He seems less and less obsessed with going for the academy gold, as much as he seems to be trying to please his more "baby-boomer older audience", which is why he's made films like Jersey Boys, The Mule, and such. Sure the December release suggests that Warner Brothers has some confidence in the film, but given that The Mule was released last December, and only received a "mixed reception", from critics, I don't expect Jewell to get any nominations, and critics will probably rate the film as pretty good at best (the metacritic score could be the in seventies like Sully).

Should be getting a trailer for this soon.
I’m hearing it’s going to be a big awards player and that Olivia Wilde could definitely snag a supporting nom. Would be so happy for her.
