‘Rails & Ties’ Director Alison Eastwood to Primarily Shift From Acting to Directing
Stay tuned for a detail-packed report stemming from my 30-minute interview on Monday with Alison Eastwood – the daughter of the legendary Clint Eastwood – on the topic of her directorial debut film “Rails & Ties”.
As a teaser to the report, she said her foray into directing feels much more gratifying than acting as a “hired gun” and she’ll be spending most of her time going forward on that side of the camera.
Her father, of course, came up often in the interview.
We also spoke about a fatal train accident that occurred in the California area prior to shooting. The real-life incident caused various fatalities unrelated to the film. The suicidal gentleman “pussed out,” Eastwood said, and went unscathed.
The film stars Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden.
