The first picture of Clint Eastwood's "Invictus" has just recently been released. The picture features Matt Damon (right) as Francois Pienaar, the captain of 1995 South African World Cup winning Rugby team and Morgan Freeman (left) as South African President Nelson Mandela. The film chronicles how the 1995 Rugby World Cup helped bring the country of South Africa together after the fall of apartheid. The South African team beat the favorite New Zealand team 15-12 in the final at Johannesburg's Ellis Park Stadium. Clint Eastwood will not be acting in the film. "Invictus" will be coming out in theaters on December 11, 2009.
