Good choice for his later life, but if they ever do an actual biopic from his younger days until his older days....get on it,

 

[Two-Face]

Freeman is God! he's awsome actor.

 

[Mr.E.Nygma]

Excellent! Another challenge for Freeman, that he will surely attempt with success! I'm eager to see his performance!

 

[Warhammer]

Freeman, one of the best actors of all-time.

[Darkly Dexter]

Eastwood, Damon on Board Mandela Film
Source: Variety
September 25, 2007


Warner Bros. is in talks to finance The Human Factor, with Clint Eastwood eyeing it as a directing vehicle, and Matt Damon in preliminary talks to play the captain of the Springboks.

Morgan Freeman had already signed on to play Nelson Mandela in the project, an adaptation of the John Carlin book "The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Changed the World."

Freeman and Revelations partner Lori McCreary are producing with Mace Neufeld, and South African screenwriter Anthony Peckham (Don't Say a Word) wrote the script.

The story is set right after the fall of apartheid, and after Mandela was released from a long imprisonment and became South African president. Mandela recognized the significance when South Africa was selected host of the 1995 Rugby World Cup after the team had been barred from even competing since the 1980s because of apartheid.

 

[psychosully]

Freeman is the only man who would be able to do the role justice. He has the look, and the talent to do the role justice.
I look forward to seeing this one.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Freeman as Mandela. Now that's some obvious casting.

 

[Mister Sinister]

Freeman is God!

Only in two of his movies.

 

[dark_b]

this is soooooooooooo obvious casting.
but at the same time it is PERFECT

 

[Fenrir]

Freeman as Mandela. Now that's some obvious casting.

Yeah, it pretty much seems like he was born to play the role.

 

[Milu]

I don't know if he can top Dave Chappelle's performance .

 

[BeserkerHilf]

this is about as obvious as patrick stewart playing professor x

 

[ANTOINE X]

Well they find the best man for the job and I will certainly check this movie when it comes out.

 

[Darkly Dexter]

I'm already seeing Freeman winning an oscar for Best Actor for this role.

 

[dark_b]

he has like a 99% chance for winning the award. he will not win it if he dies before the oscars.

yeah this is how oscars work

 

[TKing]

I think Freeman is an excellent choice to play Mandela.

Absolutely. Obvious, but still.

 

[Cinemaman]

I'm looking forward to this project

 

[ang_hulk]

[Kaleb]

as a South African im soo happy that one of my favourate actors is portraying one of my heroes, I could have also seen Sidney Potier (spelling as Nelson Mandela as well)
