Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood’s latest movie Gran Torino, has an official music video for its song of the same title which was performed by British pop and jazz singer-musician Jamie Cullum who also co-wrote the song with Eastwood. See the music video and photos from the movie here.
Cullum and Eastwood received a Golden Globe award nomination for Best Original Song. The music video intersperses scenes from the movie with scenes of the singer performing the song.
Clint Eastwood produced, directed and stars in the critically acclaimed movie which was written by Nick Schenk (I Shot Myself) from a story by Dave Johannson. The Oscar buzzed movie marks the first onscreen appearance of the five-time Academy Award winning Hollywood icon who received an Oscar nomination for his performance in Million Dollar Baby, which he also directed and produced.
In Gran Torino Eastwood portrays Walt Kowalski, a widowed Korean War veteran who has longstanding prejudice against Asians. His prize possession is a 1972 Ford Gran Torino which local gang members in his Detroit neighborhood attempt to steal. In spite of his prejudice, he befriends the son of his Hmong immigrant neighbors and tries to keep him from joining the gang.
