The children of two Hollywood icons are set to collide in the cat-and-mouse thriller Clawfoot, which is coming to us from director Michael Day, screenwriter April Wolfe, and Yale Entertainment, the company behind the awesome Becky. Francesca Eastwood (Awake), a daughter of Clint Eastwood, and Milo Gibson (Hacksaw Ridge), a son of Mel Gibson, star in the film, which is currently filming in Los Angeles.
Clawfoot sees Francesca Eastwood taking on the role of
an upper-class suburban housewife who is psychologically terrorized by a manipulative contractor, leading to a twisted battle of wits with deliciously unexpected results.
Milo Gibson is playing the manipulative contractor.
Clawfoot marks the feature directorial debut of Day, who previously directed multiple short films and episodes of the shows The News Tank and Sisters. This is the second feature written by Wolfe, as she previously co-wrote the poorly received 2019 version of Black Christmas.
Day is producing Clawfoot with Jordan Beckerman and Jordan Yale Levine. Lee Broda, Colby Cote, Nicholas Donnermeyer, Jason Kringstein, Scott Levenson, and Kade Thomas.
Eastwood made her first screen appearance as a toddler, and has gone on to work on such projects as Old, A Violent Separation, Twin Peaks, The Vault, Fargo, M.F.A., Outlaws and Angels, Heroes Reborn, Kids vs. Monsters, Final Girl, and Oh You Pretty Things!, in addition to Awake. She worked with her father on True Crime, Jersey Boys, and The Stars Fell on Henrietta (which Clint produced). Gibson made his screen acting debut in his father’s movie Hacksaw Ridge, and since then has had roles in The Tribes of Palos Verdes, Gangster Land, Mission of Honor, Breaking & Exiting, All the Devil’s Men, The Outpost, Under the Stadium Lights, and Late Bloomers.
