Damon and Eastwood on the set of Human Factor

TheBadAndUgly site has published some first look photos from the set of Clint Eastwood's new directed-drama titled "The Human Factor." The film which set in South Africa and lead by Matt Damon, likely will appear in theaters in December of this year. In the movie, Matt Damon will play rugby star Francois Pienaar, who created, with Nelson Mandela (Morgan Freeman), an event that gave whites and blacks in South Africa a common cause to rally around as the country was trying to heal from the wounds of apartheid. Eastwood got the idea of this new project from John Carlin's book "The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Changed the World," and the script is written by Anthony Peckham. Let's take a look on the images above and below, just check on them to get a wider version.

In the background event, Mandela who freed from 27 years in prison and elected president, decided to get behind South Africa's Springboks team when the country was selected as host country for the 1985 Rugby World Cup. The Springboks had been banned from international competition because of the country's apartheid practices.
The majority of blacks viewed the team as a symbol of exclusion, but they rooted along with white countrymen as the Springboks won in overtime against New Zealand to capture the Cup. Pienaar was the Springboks captain who developed a relationship with Mandela during the team's run.
