Juror #2 is a courtroom drama film directed by actor and filmmaker Clint Eastwood from a screenplay by Jonathan Abrams. The film was released in the United States on November 1, 2024, and digitally on Max on December 20, 2024.

The film follows Justin Kemp, a journalist called up for jury duty, about a murder case in which a man is accused of killing his girlfriend. However, the juror might know something about the case, which can change the whole narrative. The film was primarily shot in Savannah, Georgia, where the story is set.

The film stars Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, J. K. Simmons, Chris Messina, Zoey Deutch, Cedric Yarbrough, and Kiefer Sutherland in prominent roles.

Juror #2 was filmed in Savannah, Georgia

Savannah is not an unfamiliar territory for director Clint Eastwood, who also filmed his 1997 film Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil in the city. Talking about her experience while shooting, Toni Collette said in an interview with Fox5 that,

"I got there in July, and it was an overwhelming element to have to deal with. But the history of Savannah is so prevalent and so romanticized … to be able to just walk the streets and do those tours and get some insight into the history, and also Clint’s made movies there before. So, you feel like you're stepping into a movie … into a movie, you know?"

Here are the key locations where the film was shot:

Pooler City Hall

The film is an intense courtroom drama about a murder case, so naturally, the in and out of the courtroom becomes the most important location. The historic Pooler City Hall at 100 US Highway 80 SW in Pooler was used as the courthouse.

Savannah City Hall

In the trailer for the film, which was released on October 1, 2024, we can see a shot of the Savannah City Hall. The historic monument, considered an example of Beaux-Arts architecture, was built in 1906 for municipal use. Since then, the monument has been a major landmark in the city.

The Fitzroy Bar

The bar and restaurant located in downtown Savannah at 9 Drayton St is a major part of the film, as can be seen from the various scenes filmed there, which were also included in the trailer. In this bar, a major incident in the story happens, which becomes the catalyst for the trial.
