Eastwood throws a 'Curve' to Amy Adams

6a00d8341bfc7553ef0162fc7cea23970d-450wiHollywood was in a fuss last month when Clint Eastwood un-retired from acting to star in the Warner Bros. pic TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE, in which he plays an aging baseball scout who takes one last trip with his estranged daughter to look at a blue-chip prospect. Once everyone got over the fact that he would be acting again, the question became: Who would play his daughter? WB has offered Amy Adams the part, with hoppes to get production under way sometime in early 2012. Now while it is only an offer and no negotiations have begun, it is hard to believe that Adams and her team would not find a way to make this work -- it would be tough for anyone to look back on their career and say they had the opportunity to work with Eastwood in one of his last performances but decided to pass.
