The Big Picture One of the perennial movie stars and creative figures in Hollywood history, Clint Eastwood's screen iconography is larger than the big screen itself. Few have captivated audiences across various genres and decades with the same passion. While he possesses more depth than this image, Eastwood will be widely remembered by general audiences as a masculine icon.
Dirty Harry's day was made in the mid-2000s with the announcement of the continuation of the character's lore. In 2007, the fictional police inspector would be the face of a brand new video game produced by Warner Bros and created by the game developer, The Collective. Set to release for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the game would follow the same premise as the original Siegel film, with Callahan hunting down a serial killer named Scorpio in San Francisco.
As for The Collective, coinciding with Dirty Harry being 86'd, they merged with another developer, Shiny Entertainment — both of which were under the parent company, Foundation 9. What is most unfortunate for the developer is that what their legacy leaves behind is a plethora of licensed video games based on movies and television shows.
