Warner Bros. Releases New Photos From Eastwood’s HEREAFTER

Warner Bros. Pictures has released a slew of new photos from Clint Eastwood’s HEREAFTER. Anyone can tell you I was a big, enthusiastic fan of INVICTUS. (Mostly due to the fact that my son plays Rugby.) THR‘s Kurt Honeycutt wrote in his review of HEREAFTER from the Toronto International Film Festival, “Another strong and unexpected drama from Clint Eastwood.”

Oscar® winner Matt Damon (GOOD WILL HUNTING, INVICTUS) stars in HEREAFTER, directed by Academy Award® winner Clint Eastwood (MILLION DOLLAR BABY, UNFORGIVEN) from a screenplay by two time Oscar® nominee Peter Morgan (FROST/NIXON, THE QUEEN).

HEREAFTER tells the story of three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways. Matt Damon stars as George, a blue-collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie (Cecile de France), a French journalist, has a near-death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus (Frankie/George McLaren), a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might–or must–exist in the hereafter.

The film also stars award-winning French actress Cecile de France (A SECRET) as Marie, and twins Frankie and George McLaren. The international cast also includes Jay Mohr (STREET KINGS, TV’s “Gary Unmarried”), Bryce Dallas Howard (ECLIPSE, SPIDERMAN 3), Marthe Keller, Thierry Neuvic and Derek Jacobi.

HEREAFTER is produced by Eastwood, multiple Oscar®-nominated producer Kathleen Kennedy (THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, MUNICH, E.T.) and two-time Oscar® nominee Robert Lorenz (LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA, MYSTIC RIVER). Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Peter Morgan and Tim Moore served as executive producers.

Behind the scenes, Eastwood reunited with his longtime collaborators, including director of photography Tom Stern, production designer James J. Murakami, editors Joel Cox and Gary D. Roach, and costume designer Deborah Hopper. HEREAFTER was filmed entirely on location in Paris, London, Hawaii and San Francisco.

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents a Kennedy/Marshall Production, a Malpaso Production, HEREAFTER. Slated for limited release on October 15, 2010 and opening wide October 22, 2010, the film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
