Invictus, previously known as The Human Factor, is Clint Eastwood’s drama about the life of Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman) after the fall of apartheid during his first term as president when he campaigned to host the 1995 Rugby World Cup as an opportunity to unite his countrymen. The film snagged a December 11th, 2009 release date and will compete against Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones. Both films are being released in the heat of Oscar season and are expected to be top contenders. I already smell nominations for Freeman as Mandela and possibly for Matt Damon who plays the Rugby team captain Francois Pienaar. Who do you have your money on? Jackson or Eastwood?
