Eastwood offered composer role

Oscar-winning actor and director Clint Eastwood is now a much sought after composer - he has been recruited to write the score for a new movie.

Studio boss Harvey Weinstein has approached the Hollywood legend to create the music for John Cusack's new drama Grace is Gone - after he scrapped the score already written by Max Richter.

Weinstein tells PageSix: "Clint's unique understanding of the power of music and how it can impact a film will inspire audiences and is a beautiful companion to James Strouse's touching story."

Eastwood has composed in the past - but only for movies he has produced himself.
