Variety.com - Clint Eastwood eyes Mandela film: "A movie about how the 1995 Rugby World Cup helped heal post-apartheid race relations in South Africa is fast becoming a major film event. Morgan Freeman had already signed on to play Nelson Mandela in 'The Human Factor,' an adaptation of the John Carlin book 'The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Changed the World.' Now, Warner Bros. is in talks to finance the picture, with Clint Eastwood eyeing it as a directing vehicle, and Matt Damon in preliminary talks to play the captain of the Springboks."
