Matt Damon is to play South African rugby legend Francois Pienaar in Clint Eastwood's new film 'Human Factor'.
Variety reports that the film tells the story of the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa and its impact on the country.
Morgan Freeman will play Nelson Mandela in the film, which is due to begin shooting early next year in South Africa.
The film is based on the John Carlin book 'The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Changed the World'.
