Hope you haven't OD'd on Matt Damon yet! Just yesterday I showed you a preview of his upcoming Jason Bourne-esque action flick, Green Zone and today we get a peek at Invictus. In the upcoming film from Clint Eastwood, Damon stars as a Francois Pienaar, real-life member of South Africa's rugby team who's summoned by Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) to rally support in the country and unite the racial divide.
I love Matt Damon, but I'm actually more interested in Freeman's performance in Invictus. It looks like one well-done biopic, and it's obviously Freeman's Oscar film — although I'm sure Damon doing an accent could translate into a nomination for him around awards time, too. (Not to mention that many things Eastwood touches turn to Oscar nods).
Warning: If cheering crowd scenes and African singing often play with your emotions, you may get goose bumps while watching this preview. Check it out, and tell me what you think when you read more.

It looks incredible. I definitely want to see this.
1So excited for this. I love Clint Eastwood.
2Also the final game in this World Cup was between SA and New Zealand and being one myself I'll support anything remotely Kiwi.
Looks good. Definitely going to see it. Love Damon and Eastwood and Freeman. Jeez, I love everybody.
3Gasp! I need to see this!
4i've been waiting for this movie to come out for so long! i love that they quoted the poem in the trailer, and morgan freeman is the best actor to play mandela (the right age, the right look, and the talent to pull it off). also, clint eastwood is, in my opinion, one of the best directors out there. I'M SO EXCITED!
5cute Damon.
6love eastwood and damon.
Morgan Freeman has been my favorite actor since I was like 15. I love him. Like Damon too and Eastwood as a director. Can't wait to see this.
7Anybody see the HBO special "Prom Night in Mississippi" where Freeman's town still has segregated proms and he offers to pay for the school's prom if they desegregate it? Very good documentary.
8I'm so keen to see this. As a South Africa, this was one of the best experiences ever shared by the nation. It's still talked about with reverance! And I must say that Damon's Accent is spot on.
