Rugby Union Movie

[shiznit]

just found this out today...

Clint Eastwood is directing a movie called 'The Human Factor'..

which is about how Nelson Mandela inspired all of south africa to unite behind the Springboks and help them win the 1995 rugby world cup.

Morgan Freeman has been cast as Nelson Mandela & Matt Damon has been cast as Francois Pienaar the boks captain.

now... as a kiwi and an all black fan i hope they bloody show the all blacks were food poisoned in that final.

also... who the hells going to play Jonah Lomu... that was when he was at his peak too...

There was one made years ago.

It's called "The Crying Game".

 

[Engine]

Bwhahaha. Only "The Rock" could play Lomu.

 

[Misanthrope]

As much as I hate thugby onion, I'm a sucker for all involved. Love Eastwood's films. Love Freeman. Love Damon. And, for some reason, I've always loved all things South African. Will see this and feel ashamed afterwards.

You couldn't pay me to see that wank.

13 years on and Union is still a white game in SA...

 

[madunit]

It should be called "The Big Sleep"

 

[Red Bear]

I thought they already made a movie about rugby union?
