'American Sniper' director Clint Eastwood will be directing a movie based on Richard Jewell, a security guard who discovered a suspicious backpack in the Olympics compound.
The 84-year-old director's upcoming Jewell project, written by Billy Ray could be supported by Warner Bros and Fox Entertainment, with whom the director had always been loyal and has made movies at their place for decades, Deadline.com reported.
