The Clint Eastwood Nelson Mandela film, which was called THE HUMAN FACTOR, but now going by the title INVICTUS, is going to be released in cinemas this coming December 11th, according to Variety. Perfect timing for awards season then...The story, based on John Carlin's novel "Playing the Enemy", follows Mandela (Morgan Freeman) as he attempted to use the 1995 Rugby World Cup to help heal the wounds of his nation as he was released from prison.
Matt Damon stars as Francois Pienaar, the captain of South Africa's rugby team.
BTW INVICTUS is Latin for Invincible.
