The Son Becomes The Father

Scott Eastwood son of actor/director Clint Eastwood will be directed by dad for the Nelson Mandela drama "The Human Factor" says The Hollywood Reporter.

Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman star in the real-life story of how Mandela, as the new South African president, worked with the captain of the national rugby team, Francois Pienaar (Damon), to help unite the country after apartheid.

The young Eastwood will play a member of the Springboks which makes a run at the 1995 Rugby World Cup Final against the New Zealand All Blacks.
