Just in time for the release of his latest film Invictus, Clint Eastwood has announced that he’s done with acting. Several reports have popped up online stating the actor’s desire to end his career in front of the camera to concentrate specifically on directing. What brought on this change of heart?
If you’re a Clint Eastwood enthusiast here’s some good news for you. Warner Brothers has just announced their plans to release the ultimate Clint Eastwood box set, which will make all other DVD combos look lame in comparison. The set is entitled Clint Eastwood: 35 Films, 35 Years at Warner Bros.
Last week we brought you a new poster for Clint Eastwood’s upcoming drama Invictus, and now we’ve got the film’s first trailer. The story for Invictus centers on Nelson Mandela as played by Morgan Freeman, and Francois Pienaar a South African rugby captain played by Matt Damon. The unlikely duo joins forces to unite a shattered country through their love of the sport.
Check out the trailer…
It’s here. A new official poster for Clint Eastwood’s upcoming drama, Invictus. The film reunites the director with frequent co-star Morgan Freeman who stars as Nelson Mandela in the film. He’s accompanied by a rather blond Matt Damon who stars as a the captain of a South African rugby team. The poster looks inspirational even though the story it’s based on is quite tumultuous.

Clint Eastwood is fresh off of his directing stint on Invictus, a biopic that tells the story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of a South African rugby team to unite the country. In the film, Matt Damon was cast as one of the leads alongside Morgan Freeman. According to THR the director will reunite with the actor once again, and not only will these two powerhouses be involved with the project, but Steven Spielberg’s getting in on the action too.
MTV is calling this “The Greatest Photo Ever” and they’re not wrong. You’ve got Zooland (Ben Stiller), Dirty Harry (Clint Eastwood), and probably one of the most successful comedy director/producers in the past decade Judd Apatow, all huddled around the biggest star-f*cker of all time Bruno.
Also, where is Eastwood’s left hand? It almost looks like he might be grabbing him some Bruno tush. Boy oh boy would that make my day… and Bruno.
What do you think?
Clint Eastwood’s next film to have Oscar buzz written all over it has finally gotten a release date. According to RopeofSilicon Warner Bros sent out an official press release for the film entitled Invictus, formally known as The Human Factor. Invictus takes place in South Africa, and tells the story of how Nelson Mandela joined forces with the captain of a South African rugby team to unite the country.
Okay, so Hollywood’s best and brightest are now at home polishing their statuettes and basking in the afterglow of being appreciated. But what about the show itself? We can’t really go without honoring the best and worst of the actual awards can we?
Here are the First Annual Academy Award Awards…
Well THR is rather bold. Before the Oscar noms have even been announced they interviewed the 2009 Oscar Directors. Really? THR has decided that Clint Eastwood, Ron Howard, Danny Boyle, Gus Van Sant, Darren Aronofsky and Ed Zwick are going to be our Oscar nominated Directors. Good picks yes, but hardly rock solid. Apparently they’re not buying the whole Christopher Nola, Dark Knight buzz.
All the directors all sat down together at one table to talk about their 2008 film(s). Everyone seemed more than happy to chime in about their filmaking process and the challeneges of directing except for Gus Van Sant. Apparently THR decided to cut Van Sant out of the show. I can’t imagine he didn’t say a single work. Why no Van Sant THR?
