Hollywood maestro Clint Eastwood says his crime drama "Richard Jewell", which shows how a vulnerable man gets framed in a bombing case, is very pertinent for today.

"Before working on this picture, I didn't remember the details too much. I can't think of where I was at the time, but I remember when they said that they had a guard who found the bomb, who was a hero and then a suspect. I remember that, but I didn't know too much about it, and in hindsight I had forgotten about it. But when I read the article and the script, it seemed like a really interesting subject for today," Eastwood said.
