The first trailer for Clint Eastwood’s “Invictus” has been released and it absolutely looks like an awards contender. You’ve got the stellar cast (Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon), the director everyone loves, and a feel good story about a country coming together. If you aren’t familiar with the film, “Invictus” tells the 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. Check out the trailer after the jump.

This looks like a great movie. Just watching the trailer almost got me to tears, what a momentous occasion. Go SA !!
I’m going to struggle with Matt Damon playing Francois Pienaar. It’s going to be like John Cleese playing the terminator.
Matt Damon: 5′10″, 165 lbs = weedy little guy
Francois Pienaar: 6′3″, 238 lbs = top class rugby player
In fact, Matt Damon is smaller than Morgan Freeman! Bit strange given Mandela was a little guy and Pienarr was a brute.
