Things have been very hush hush with Clint Eastwood’s latest project Hereafter, but despite the efforts of secrecy, details about the plot and characters have emerged online:
George (Matt Damon) is a ‘handsome, shy, soft-spoken’ factory worker who can talk to the dead but prefers not to.
Meanwhile, across the world, two different plotlines play out that are touched by tragedy:
- Beautiful French journalist Marie (Cécile De France) recovers from a near-death experience in the 2004 tsunami, then becomes increasingly gripped with questions about what she saw before she was revived.
- At the same time in London, a drug-addicted English single mother (Lyndsey Marshal), loses one of her twin 10-year-old sons in a car accident.
The three parallel stories eventually intersect: three lonely people, cut off from the ones they love, searching for answers about what lies beyond life.
The movie has been described as a supernatural thriller - in the same vein as The Sixth Sense - according to Variety. Production remains ongoing in London. Expect the film sometime in late-2010.
Side note: Eastwood and Damon recently paired up for this year’s Invictus which is now gaining some Academy Award talk.
