by Roy on 27 Oct 2009 | Comments Today we get trailers for not one Matt Damon movie, but two! And you know what, this trailer looks just as good as the other one.

Invictus is Clint Eastwood’s latest film sitting in the director’s chair, and this time he’s cast Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela, newly in office as the President of South Africa, and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, the captain of South Africa’s woeful rugby team. Amidst the powerful racial divide plaguing an anxious population in the wake of Apartheid, Mandela tasks Pienaar with leading the national team to the Rugby World Cup. He believes the universal language of sport is capable of reaching beyond the racial and political upheaval, and that it can speak directly to the human condition as the underdog team rallies an otherwise divided nation together.

We caught the poster a few days ago, which you can find here. Check out the trailer after the jump, or find it on Apple in HD. Read»

We’ve got posters for two upcoming movies today!

The first one is a little old, but better late than never right? Richard Linklater’s Me and Orson Welles stars Zac Efron, Claire Danes, and Christian McKay, and centers on a young and scrappy actor in the 30’s who manages to fanagle his way onto the cast of Welles’ stage production of “Julius Caesar.” If you haven’t already seen the very promising trailer, you can check it out here. Meanwhile, Cinematical debuted the poster a week and a half ago; you can see it below the jump.

The other is the first poster for Invictus, Clint Eastwood’s Nelson Mandela-Francois Pienaar drama, starring Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. The film, once titled The Human Factor, centers on South Africa in 1995, when Mandela allied with Pienaar, the captain of the South African rugby team, to unite and heal his country after the abolishment of apartheid. That year, the underdog team went on an unlikely run to the Rugby World Cup Championship. Check out the poster below the jump as well, courtesy of Yahoo! Movies.
