Hereafter, the next film from Clint Eastwood, is starting to sound like one of those Babel/Crash-style movies with threaded narratives around the same theme. When it was announced a few weeks ago that Matt Damon would star, we knew so little about the film that we suggested it might be about Damon dying and being reincarnated as a basketball-playing schnauzer. Now, thank God, we've got a few more details.
Variety is reporting that Cecile de France, a Belgian actress who will forever after be assumed to be French, will star alongside Damon as a journalist who has a near-death experience. The film, they explain, is about three people who are "touched by death in different ways." Before you start worrying about this being a feature-length Touched By An Angel episode, remember that the screenplay is written by Peter Morgan, who turns in solid things like The Queen and Frost/Nixon. It all sounds prestigious and intriguing-- now if only we could get the final world on this schanuzer rumor.
