In the second helping of Matt Damon today Apple has released the trailer for Clint Eastwood‘s Invictus also starring Morgan Freeman and Scott Eastwood. After hearing next to nothing about the film we now had the poster debuted a few days ago and this recently released trailer. Check it out below.
Plot: From director Clint Eastwood, “Invictus” tells the inspiring true story of how Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) joined forces with the captain of South Africa’s rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Matt Damon), to help unite their country. Newly elected President Mandela knows his nation remains racially and economically divided in the wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people together through the universal language of sport, Mandela rallies South Africa’s underdog rugby team as they make an unlikely run to the 1995 World Cup Championship match.
It looks like Eastwood has another winner on his hands with what looks like great performances and beautiful imagery. I was surprised how good Changeling was after seeing it post-Oscars. Gran Torino was quite fun as well. I’m looking forward to this.
Invictus hits theaters December 11th, 2009.
What do you think of the trailer?
