Want a first look at Clint Eastwood’s latest run at Oscar? Look no further than Invictus (Latin for unconquered) . Just look at this pedigree: Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela, Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, the captain of South Africa’s rugby team, in a true story of Mandela joining forces with Pienaar to help unite South Africa. Yup, I smell Oscar.
The trailer doesn’t really do much for me but I must admit that the star power is intoxicating.
Invictus hits theatres December 11th.
An HD version of the trailer is available at Apple.
Interesting idea, baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad execution. I’m choking on my own vomit. Did Paul Haggis write this one?
Surprisingly, he did not.
