I agree, but as a South African I’ve heard a lot of chatter about “Hollywood” ruining a defining moment in our history and this is one of the things that people will probably make a really big deal of. But like I said, to me it’s a small thing and at least Damon can act, and pull off a South African accent, which isn’t easy!

I will take a buff actor who can act over a HUGE guy who might look the part a bit more who can’t.

Damon is freaking buff in this. I didnt realize he was that muscular even from previous stuff.

Sure he is only 5’10 to Francois Pienaar’s 6’3, but Pienaar was only 240lbs, so I don’t know that he was “massive” considering Damon looks to be about 220 in this and nearly half a foot shorter.

Close enough I say.

SA winning the world cup in SA with Mandela in the stands and Pienaar captain of the winning side is close to the best sporting moment of all time. I got chills when the lifted the cup.

Cant wait to see this, I cant see it being a bad movie.

I cant stream videos at work, does Morgan pull off the accent?

Rodney – good call on the power of one, I love that movie… boxing, love and choirs jeez who would have thought that would work…lol
