Clint Eastwood laughs off Dirty Harry comeback rumours

Washington, May 21 : Clint Eastwood has dismissed reports that he is bringing his legendary Dirty Harry character back for a new movie.

The 77-year-old laughed off claims, insisting that the greying cop would be far too old.

Recent reports claimed that Eastwood wanted to kill off Harry Callahan in one more movie, 37 years after the character first hit the big screen.

However, Eastwood, who will introduce a Cannes Film Festival screening of 1971's Dirty Harry on May 22, insisted that Callahan would be long retired by now.

"Dirty Harry would not be in a police department at my age," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.
