First Look: The Human Factor - TheBadandUgly.comClint Eastwood is directing Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman in The Human Factor, a film about the 1995 Rugby World Cup.
Damon plays rugby star and South African team captain Francois Pienaar, who along with former South African president Nelson Mandela (Freeman) created an event that gave the country’s whites and blacks a common cause to rally around as the country healed from years of apartheid.
The film is based on the book The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Changed the World, and has many social, apartheid-rooted issues that I’m sure will be mentioned in trailers and subsequent promotional material.
What you should know now is that the crew is on location in South Africa, and I has the pics!
