Clint Eastwood recounts the terrible fire in Hollywood, the studio had to be evacuated.
The Merciless does not move. Clint Eastwood refuses to escape the approaching flames and stays to finish his film. That’s right. In the Warner Bros Studios area, a fire breaks out and near Hollywood the security system is immediately triggered with firefighters and police rushing to evacuate everyone present.
But one. The immortal Eastwood replies peremptorily: “I’m fine, there’s a job to finish”. So he told his son and actor Scott on Instagram with a video of the smoke that cuts through the roofs of American warehouses. “My 89-year-old dad replied to the security men like this and went back into the mixing room to assemble the film.”
Composer Christopher Drake, during the fire, tweeted: “I had to evacuate my studio at Warner Bros for the first time ever due to the smoke from the #Barhamfire just behind the studio lot. WB is currently on lockdown. “. As for Universal Studios Hollywood, there were no evacuation orders recorded at the theme park and recording studio lots.
The fire, which lasted about three hours, burned three hundred square meters but was stopped thanks to the intervention of over 230 firefighters, assisted by five helicopters and two fire-fighting planes. A firefighter was injured while fighting a fire that consumed 34 acres of land in the Hollywood Hills area.
The flames could be seen from Universal Studios and emanated thick smoke near the iconic Hollywood sign. More than 200 firefighters, five helicopters and two planes were used to put out the blaze, according to a tweet from Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti.
How much his son Scott Eastwood wanted to advertise his father ‘hero’ for the new film Richard Jewell, based on a true story and to be released in America on December 13 after six months of shooting, remains an (almost) unanswered question. What is certain is that Eastwood’s mysterious and executioner icon continues to shine between cinema and legendary interpretations.
