He’s a busy one that Matt Damon. Having just wrapped on Paul Greengrass’ Green Zone and currently filming Steven Soderbergh’s The Informant, you’d think that he’d be up for a bit of a rest. But instead of putting his feet up, he’s signed up to star in Clint Eastwood’s next project.
While we’ve yet to receive confirmation that he does indeed have ants in his pants, he's set to continue his roll of roles as a rugby star in The Human Factor alongside Morgan Freeman, says Variety.
Damon will play the pro rugger bugger Francois Pienaar, a man who joined forces with Nelson Mandela to create a sporting event that gave post-Apartheid South Africans a cause to rally together as a country.
Shooting will begin early next year in South Africa and the script will be adapted from John Carlin's book The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela And The Game That Changed The World.
