The Dirty Harry star successfully dabbled into direction besides having a career as an actor in the industry and Eastwood says he is looking forward to Jolie's directorial debut.
The Million Dollar Baby director says he is convinced that Jolie will make a successful transition from acting to filmmaking, Access Hollywood reported.
Jolie is to begin work on her film, about the war in Yugoslavia at the beginning of the 1990s, later this year and Eastwood, who directed her in 2008's Changeling, is excited about her new role.
"She's a very intelligent gal. I know she'll do great... She has great a work ethic and she's very smart. I'm looking forward to seeing what she does," Eastwood said.
And Eastwood has some words of advice for the budding movie-maker: "My advice for her is to get more sleep than the actors. And to have good management - know what you want and know what you are looking for and go after it."
