A number of Hollywood stars will make Cape Town their temporary home for the next few months, to shoot movies in the city, reports the Weekend Argus.

‘The Human Factor’ is a movie about South Africa winning the Rugby World Cup in 1995, and will star Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon.   It is based on the book ‘The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game that changed the world’.   Damon plays Francois Pienaar, then Springbok rugby team captain.  

‘Heaven and Earth’ will feature Pierce Brosnan, playing Lord Charles Somerset, the Cape’s first governor.   The Castle will be used as one of the locations for the shoot.

Seven international movies will commence shooting in Cape Town in the next three months.
