Hereafter (Eastwood, 2010): Matt Damon in supernatural thriller
From The Hollywood Reporter:
Having just worked together on "Invictus," which will be released later this year, Clint Eastwood and Matt Damon are reteaming for "Hereafter."
Eastwood will direct the original supernatural thriller by Peter Morgan, with Damon stepping in to the lead role; filming is set to begin this fall.
DreamWorks originally acquired the spec thriller from Morgan, an Oscar nominee for "The Queen" and "Frost/Nixon," last year, and it quickly piqued Eastwood's interest.
Deciding to move forward with the project, Eastwood is moving it to his home base at Warners with the blessing of DreamWorks founder Steven Spielberg, who produced Eastwood's films "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters From Iwo Jima."
The project will be produced by Eastwood, his producing partner Robert Lorenz and Kathleen Kennedy. Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Morgan and Tim Moore will serve as exec producers.

Can't say I'm too interested in Invictus, but a supernatural thriller by Eastwood starring Matt Damon has me excited, I don't even need to know what it's about.

Nice to see Eastwood directing movies of different genres other than the tightly wound dramas that he tends to prefer.
Invictus is a biopic of Nelson Mandela starring Morgan Freeman. I smell an Oscar or five.

Sounds promising but this being an Eastwood film it will almost certainly be more character based than 'supernatural thriller.' Just as his Iwo Jima movies & Gran Torino placed more emphasis on character than action I'm betting Hereafter will be in the same vein.

Hereafter (directed by Clint Eastwood)
I wanted to add more names to the title, but I think that one should get any movie fanatic excited alone.

Described as being comparable to The Sixth Sense, the film's storyline is being kept secret. The project was penned by Peter Morgan, writer of Frost/Nixon and The Queen and is being co-produced by Steven Spielberg and Frank Marshall. Clint Eastwood will direct and Matt Damon will star.
A supernatural thriller centered on three people -- a blue-collar American, a French journalist and a London school boy -- who are touched by death in different ways.

Just a matter of time until we get the 3D announcement too.

I actually like The Sixth Sense, so the comparison between the two is just fine with me.
Throw Eastwood and Spielberg into the mis and I'm all good.

You dumb motherfucker...
Also...I hate the marketing line of comparing this to The Sixth Sense...before I read that and after..I still decide that Clint Eastwood will have my money for his film.

Damn. First I'm excited about "the next Ben Affleck film", and now I'm stoked for "a supernatural thriller directed by Clint Eastwood".
Not complaining or anything.

Damnit, Eastwood. Can't you stop making me excited for you next movie? Admittingly...this seems to be the most different of his recent crop of films. Cuz...well...the others are pretty real in a way. The subject matter for this one is so off what Eastwood usually does....

I didn't care for that trailer. Yes, individual snippets have me intruiged but it has little overall flow. But then most modern trailers are like that.
Nonetheless, I'm still up for this.

I've never cared much for Matt Damon, but I'll be seeing this. I love movies in this genre - up there with The Sixth Sense and others like it.
