Looking great, when will it be in the movie theaters?
Why o why did they choose Matt Damon as the Bok skipper :-)
 
He seems 2 have to have the general accent, just not the size or stature. Without seeming 2 sound 2 selfish I hope the movie recognises how good NZ's rugby team was, I mean if they leave out the food poisoning, that could be understood, but it would be nice 2 sort of have NZ represented in film for something other then "let's pick the most random country to mention", that being said i realise it is more about Nelson Mandela, rather in rugby, but just would be kinda nice, especially since RWC finals is kinda the best we are able to do. Like it would suck if NZ, like many sporting films, becomes villainised in the film.
 
Lol @ the food poisoning comment.

Anyway, looks pretty decent. Looks like it really uses the 'rugby to unite a nation' thing here. Even though it only united a nation for around a day anyway... Will definitely give this one a watch. First Last House on The Left, then District 9, and now this. Good year for movies in SA.

Yeah, SA movies have been pretty mean. And the food poisoning was pretty tounge in cheek ;)
 
That's why i lol'd at it. The guy playing Jonah Lomu looks pretty good. Heard he played for Bath.
 
Yeah looks very good.

I read the book "Playing the enemy" it was a good read. Pretty much tells this story without the made up bits.

Always wondered if they would do a sequel to show how it has all gone tits up since.
 
Looks pretty decent. Im still not sure about Daemon but my hopes have been raised after the trailer.

I hope they don't bend the truth to much.
 
Will they include the scene where Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman sneak off into the kitchen to poison the All Blacks? I heard they were going to cut it because it didn't fit with the overall theme of the movie. We'll probably have to wait for the Directors Cut DVD to come out. I heard that scene was shot in a very "Revenge of the Nerds" sort of way with Mandella and Pienaar sneaking around giggling the whole time.

I'm just f___ing with you guys...looks to be a good film. Can't wait for it. It will give rugby some good exposure here in the US.
 
I think it does look pretty epic.

I'm going to love the average American's reaction to the All Blacks.

"Holy Sh*t! You mean theres actually team called the All Blacks?! I thought that was just made up by the KKK!"
 
I hope the film's a good 'un, if only so there's a decent Rugby film for me to see. Certainly has the potential to be not bad.

I doubt Eastwood will portray NZ as the villains, It will be more like they are seen as the Unstoppable force in the WC and make them out to be unbeatable so the ending will be more climactic. For this reason the food poisoning will probably be omitted as well. The Haka should be good on the big screen. Can't wait for this.
