Matt Damon has signed on to star in “Human Factor,” a new film directed by Clint Eastwood at Warner Bros.
Damon will be playing rugby star Francois Pienaar, who with Nelson Mandela, created a rugby team that brought whites and blacks a common sense to rally around the healing country of South Africa.
The film also stars Morgan Freeman, and has Nelson Mandela’s blessing.Though I loved Mystic River, I wasn’t a huge fan of Million Dollar Baby and Flags of Our Fathers (Though I heard Letters from Iwo Jima was a far better film). This one sounds very interesting, and probably another nomination for ol’ Clint.
