Morgan Freeman has to be one of our best actors right? I mean this guy can pull off pretty much any role, so when I hear he is tipped to play South African President Nelson Mandela I think good on yah, let’s see it. The film is titled The Human Factor and is based on the upcoming John Carlin book “The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed the World.”
The film is set after the fall of apartheid, when South Africa was host to the 1995 Rugby World Cup. Mandela was in his first term as South African president, and he used the event as a way to end decades of mistrust and hatred between whites and blacks.
Freeman was quoted saying, “I have known Nelson Mandela personally for quite some time, and am continually in awe of his enormous presence in the world. The opportunity to portray him in this film is a great honor.”
