Is Dirty Harry gonna make your day again

We have had Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis resurrect their screen heroes of yesteryear - now it looks likes Clint Eastwood is in on the act by bringing back Dirty Harry to our screens.
It was recently announced that the Oscar winning actor, 77, was to direct and star in Gran Torino - his first film in front of the screen since 2004's Million Dollar Baby. However, details about the film were mysteriously kept under wraps.
And now movie site ainitcool.com are claiming they know the reason why. An insider told the site, "Nobody seems to know - not even the trades - what Clint Eastwood's new movie, Gran Torino, is. So I'll tell you.
"I recently advertised my 1974 ford Gran Torino classic original for sale in the local here, and within 24 hours had someone from Village Roadshow Pictures interested in having a look at it. He came. He wasn't interested for numerous reasons (probably the modifications). He told me they were looking for the right car for a new Clint Eastwood movie.
"He said it was a thriller about a killer that drives a certain Torino. His 1972 Ford Gran Torino is the only thing the police have on him. A retired police lieutenant, one Harry Callahan, makes it his mission to track down the culprit when two young police officers, one Callahan's grandson, are shot and killed by the guy."
If true it would be the sixth instalment of the tough guy detective - and the first since the much maligned 1988 film Dead Pool.
