At PopSugar Josh Brolin discussed working with Matt. A review of the True Grit script, which confirms that Matt's role will be small, is at The Playlist.

Josh Brolin: I love Matt. We've been inter-connected for many, many, many years. And, you know we're going to work together after this too, we're doing to do True Grit together. And maybe we'll do future projects together, we'll see.

At this site Matt gave a shout-out to PopSugar creator Lisa (a long-time fan of Matt), and her daughters.

In a story at Us magazine Matt was asked about his Thanksgiving plans and Howard Zinn discussed Lucy. Matt was also asked about his family and fatherhood at In Touch.

Matt and wife Luciana, who celebrate their fourth anniversary in December, rely on "good communication" to keep the magic in their marriage. For Luciana, who has a daughter Alexia, 11, from a previous relationship, keeping Matt happy is simple.

"She just has to get out of bed in the morning," he says.

For the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, Matt and his brood are heading south to spend time with her family.

"We're getting out of town for a few days, and going down to Florida."

The People Speak writer Howard Zinn has known Matt since he was 5. What makes him a great father?

"He hasn’t been Hollywoodized," he tells me. "He's a very straight, honest, intelligent, thoughtful, socially-conscious person. I've known him for a very long time. I love him."

He adds, "I remember seeing him with kids before he had kids. He was always good with kids. Maybe it was because his mother was always good with him. He was raised by a single mother. She did a great job with him and his brother."

Why is Luciana perfect for him?

"She's not a Hollywood type, either. Not at all. She's just a human being, and she's very unassuming, modest. They're both regular people, so they’re great together."

There's a long article about the making of Invictus at Rugby magazine, and it includes quotes from Matt and Francois Pieanaar and a new still.

When Matt Damon attended Harvard University, some of his college buddies played rugby so he knew a little bit about the game before signing on to play François Pienaar in Invictus. He also knew he had to get into perhaps the best shape of his life.

"If you talk to François, South Africa won that '95 World Cup because of their players' fitness, among other things," Damon says. "It was a sheer act of will and discipline that gave them the edge. François talked me through their training regimen and it was incredible the shape those guys were in."
Prior to going on location, Damon spent months sprinting and lifting weights in order to bulk up and look somewhat like the 6-foot-3, 235-pound Pienaar in his playing days.

Damon performed a lot of the action sequences, but knew when the free play started he had to let his stunt double, Jonathan Smith, step in.

"If you're in a ruck or a maul, there's no way to predict where anybody is going to go," Damon says. "It really is a chaotic event. We couldn’t guarantee that my nose wouldn't get broken, which would shut the film down." The actor remembers how his college roommate broke his nose almost every week. "When he’d walk in the door," Damon says laughing, "my first question was, 'What minute?'"

Matt attended the premiere of The People Speak on Thursday in New York and was photographed with fellow cast members Viggo Mortensen and Josh Brolin. Lucy did not attend. Photos are at Getty, Fotoglif and PopSugar.

The Coen brothers discussed their plans for True Grit here. The film may be shot in Oklahoma, but there are disputes over tax incentives.

Question: What's next for you?

Joel: "We're doing an adaptation of a Charles Portis novel called True Grit, which was made into a movie in the late 1960s with the late John Wayne. It's a Western and it's going to star Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin. I don't know if we’ve always wanted to make a Western. This was just a novel we both really liked, and the opportunity was there to do it."

Matt received the top spot on a new program at VH1: Top 20 Celebs Done Good.

A report and photos from the OneXOne photo shoot at the Toronto Film Festival is here. Matt's photographed and quoted in the article, and more interesting photos of Matt from the shoot are at the site of the photographer here.

Clint Eastwood discusses Invictus in his new GQ interview here.

Shakira discusses her song which references Matt again at EW:

Shakira fears she'll have to write to Matt Damon's wife and apologise for namechecking her man on her new album. The Colombian pop star pines for the movie star in the lyrics of Men In This Town and can only hope his wife isn't upset with her.

She tells Entertainment Weekly, "I know Matt and his wife. We have friends in common. I hope she's not mad at this. He's one of those good men. He's really something. Maybe I should send an apologetic note to the wife and say, 'Hey, I'm taken too, don't worry'."

Matt is in People magazine's sexiest men alive list - from the Boston Herald:

Local boys-gone-Hollywood Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and John Krasinski also got shout-outs in People maggie’s annual Sexiest Man Alive issue.

As for Matt, his "The Informant" co-star Melanie Lynskey gushed to People that Damon is sexy because he's a "warm and welcoming" kinda guy.

"He loves his job so much, is so prepared and having such a good time, that it's impossible to not feel happy working with him," she said.

An interview with Francois Pienaar is at The Independent:

"My wife was delighted that Matt was playing me," says Pienaar, with a chuckle clearly audible down the phone line from Cape Town. "But she was not impressed when I invited him to my house and said I'd do the cooking. Matt's first words when I opened the door were... well, he looked at me, he didn't even say 'Hi', he just said, 'I'm much bigger in the movie,' and then he hugged me."

Damon, as Pienaar quickly concluded, belonged in a category distinct from mere sportsmen, even world-renowned ones forever bracketed after 1995 and all that with a totemic statesman such as Mandela. "One night I was having a glass of vino with Matt when I told him about our Make A Difference charity's 110km cycle ride around the Cape to help disadvantaged children, and he said he'd do it with us. This was rock-star stuff. Everywhere there were people with banners and good-looking ladies shouting, 'Matt! Matt'!"

Pienaar has yet to see the film, in which Morgan Freeman portrays Mandela, but he visited the set with his two sons, and he and John Carlin, whose book Playing the Enemy was adapted for the screenplay, consulted with the leading lights. "Obviously it's Hollywood, and to dramatise the movie and for it to reach a crescendo there's a lot of licence in the screenplay," says Pienaar. "I'm very excited to see it in December, but there's also that little sense in me that's saying, 'I just hope they catch the moment like I remember it'.

"In the end, though, it's a magnificent story and I was privileged to be involved in that story. Morgan Freeman went into Mandela mode a couple of weeks before shooting – talking like Madiba, with his mannerisms. It was scary and, wow, it was impressive. Morne du Plessis [the Boks' manager in 1995] told me when he saw the prosthetic being applied to Matt's nose to look like mine, 'Oh my goodness, this is too close to the truth'."

A writers roundtable with Scott Z Burns (The Informant!) and Anthony Peckham (Invictus) at the Hollywood Reporter is available here. Clint Eastwood will present Invictus at the Director's Guild of America in the next few days, so the first informal reviews will be available shortly. Anne Thompson spoke to Morgan Freeman about the film at Indiewire:

If director Clint Eastwood delivers yet again on Invictus, the movie could be the one to beat for Best Picture. When I told Freeman how much I admired the Invictus script, adapted from John Carlin’s book by Anthony Peckham, Freeman said, "I guarantee you, we did not mess it up."

There's a long and interesting video interview with Steven Soderbergh at YouTube, including:

Soderbergh: Matt's fearless. He'll do anything. If we get this Liberace film made next year you will really see him do some stuff... Matt's an actor who became a movie star.

The People Speak will have its premiere at the Time Warner Center in New York on Thursday and a junket on Friday.

History Channel's "The People Speak" doesn't premiere until Dec. 13, but executive producers Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Chris Moore and Howard Zinn will be here Friday at History's home base (E. 45th) to talk about the project, which encompasses "game-changing moments in democracy" and has its red-carpet premiere Thursday night. Marisa Tomei, Viggo Mortensen, Danny Glover and Kerry Washington -- also featured in the special -- will join Damon et. al on Friday.

Singer Shakira discussed her song which includes lyrics about Matt at MTV:

The song that covers this topic best is "Men in This Town." In it, Shakira sings about looking all over and still not finding the right guy. However, don't mistake the Matt Damon name-check as a jab.

"I know Matt Damon," Shakira said about the lyric, "Matt Damon's not meant for me." "Actually, he's my neighbour in Miami, or used to be, I think he moved now to New York. I know him and his wife. It's all good. This is a song and Damon really rhymed with the other word. Matt Damon is actually a terrific dude — I'm saying it in a good way. What I'm actually saying is there aren't many great guys out there and Matt Damon is one of them. I love Matt Damon. He's so great. He's a good sport too. I'm sure he’ll be fine with it. And his wife too."

From an interview with Matt at the Australian Sunday Mail:

The affable actor has been married since 2005 to Argentine-born Luciana Barroso. Alexia is her daughter from a previous marriage and she and Damon have daughters Isabella, 3, and Gia, 1. He says he's not sure whether they will add to their family.

"I'm really happy," he says. "I couldn't ask for more, but in terms of another kid, you're going to have to ask the boss. I'm open to having more kids but I'm also perfectly happy if we stop. You know, we have three great kids and that's a total blessing."

"My story is that I'm married with kids, so there's not much scandal," Damon says. "As long as they get an updated picture every six months, there's nothing else to make money off. I don't think I've done much to create a mystique around myself, so I think that kind of disarms the whole paparazzi thing."

On Invictus
"I haven't seen any of the footage because Clint doesn't work with playback or anything like that, but I could just see in the scenes with Morgan that he was fantastic. He's going to be great in the movie."

An interesting article written by 'body language expert' Katia Loisel-Furey in Sydney paper MX. The photo with the article isn't available, but a typical photo is below.

Matt Damon protects the shy Luciana

Matt Damon and his gorgeous wife Luciana Barroso may look like a million dollars, but here's a couple who'd much prefer the comfort of home to the glitz and glamour of yet another Hollywood soiree.

Like a fish out of water Luciana reels from the spotlight, seeking refuge behind Matt in a subconscious bid to hide.

In a stance often adopted by the couple at public events, Matt stands protectively in front of Luciana, his body on a 45-degree angle and firmly pressed against hers, acting as a shield in a bid to protect her and offer her reassurance.

Despite Luciana's insecurities in the public eye, Matt's presence makes her feel stronger, with his body barrier giving her the courage to face the cameras front on.

Matt's open body language reveals his sheer confidence, his steady gaze saying "here I am" but giving away little else. Luciana's stance, her positioning, slightly hunched shoulders and firm grip on clutch reveal her discomfort and frustration.

Rather than try to fake an over-the-top smile for the cameras, her retracted smile and blank stare are her subtle way of saying, "back off".

A united front, their body language suggests that theirs is a strong partnership, built on mutual trust, support and love.

Matt and historian Howard Zinn attended a free event at New York University on Thursday to promote The People Speak on The History Channel. The photo below and a report is from the NYU News, and another report from a blogger is here.

An interview from the Venice Film Festival with Matt in Total Film (UK) magazine's current issue is now available online. One quote:

So does it always work that way with you? You take personal calls from directors, rather than going through agents?
No, no agents. If you don't know the guy, maybe, but if you’re friends... Like now we're trying to get $30m to get this Liberace movie. It's about Liberace and his lover.

And when I went to do Che, Steven called me and says, "Will you do a day on Che? I want you to do this scene in Spanish, even though you’re playing a German guy."

I was like, "Really?" They were in the south of Spain. I said, "Lucy [Barroso, Damon's wife] and I are going to be there." I had some press to do there for The Bourne Ultimatum.

So the studio flew us there and we snuck in because Che was the lower-budget movie. We let Bourne get us to Europe and then I went down.

We got to this little resort where they were staying, in the south of Spain. And I showed up. And Steven is at the bar with Greg Jacobs his AD and producer, waiting for me. And he pulls out a book, Behind The Candelabra. And there's a picture of this young blond guy with a big fur coat and next to him there's Liberace, with all of his rings and a fur coat.

Steven hands me the book and goes, "You. Michael Douglas!" So that's how you get a job. There are no agents!

There's also a new interview at the Irish Herald:

Matt Damon's next role is in Invictus, directed by Clint Eastwood, where he plays the former captain of the South African rugby team, Francois Pienaar, at the 1995 Rugby World Cup, as the country got the opportunity to show the world that it had put apartheid behind it. The role is one which has great passion and resonance for him, given his love of the sport.

"It's a very uplifting story. When you talk to a South African about the Rugby World Cup in 1995, they all know exactly where they were, and they start to get very emotional. I felt crushing pressure and responsibility to get it right and what calmed me down was seeing how much more pressure Morgan Freeman, who plays Nelson Mandela, was under!"

Photos from the set of The Adjustment Bureau with Emily Blunt are at Fotoglif, PCN, I need my fix, here, the NY Post and X17.

Variety has provided the first details of a release date for Hereafter.

Belgian actress Cecile de France has signed to star opposite Matt Damon in Clint Eastwood's supernatural drama "Hereafter" for Warner Bros.

"Hereafter," penned by Peter Morgan, tells the story of three people who are touched by death in different ways.

Filming will take place in Paris, London, Hawaii and San Francisco. Pic is slated for release in December 2010.

The Adjustment Bureau also appears to have a late 2010 release date, according to an article on actor Brian Mahoney at the Boston Globe:

Mahoney said he recently traveled to New York to shoot a small one-on-one scene with Cambridge native Matt Damon for "The Adjustment Bureau" a film set to be released by late 2010.

On meeting Damon for the first time, Mahoney said "He was every bit the gentleman I'd hear he was."

A second still for Invictus has been released as part of a LA Times story on film-making in South Africa. Meanwhile, South African group Overtone recorded all songs for the trailer and have recorded eight songs for the film.

Opening next month will be Clint Eastwood's "Invictus," a historical drama about the upset win by South Africa in the 1995 Rugby World Cup, which helped unite blacks and whites during the crucial early months of Nelson Mandela's presidency. It stars Morgan Freeman as Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar, the team captain.

In an interview, one of the film's producers, Lori McCreary, who also co-produced the 1993 South Africa-set film "Bopha!" -- which her Revelations Entertainment production company partner Freeman directed -- called the country "a great place to make films." Among the factors she cited were a favorable currency exchange rate, a variety of arresting shooting locations and one of Africa's deepest pools of talent. More than 200 of the 240 crew members and 62 of 70 actors who worked on "Invictus" were South African, she added.

"The U.S. is more interested in South Africa than at any point probably since the '94 election," McCreary said. "The world is looking at South Africa." As for the coincidences of timing and subject matter between "Invictus" and this summer's World Cup, she said, "I wish I could say it was planned. I think it's fortuitous for us."

There's a new article about Matt at The Guardian praising Matt's career choices and status in the industry, but it's a compilation of previous articles and has no original quotes.

A rumor from this week's Holy Moly (British) newsletter:

Bourne again! Get ready! Universal Pictures are planning to shoot two more Bourne films back to back next year.

Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum were named the equal second best films of the decade at The Times (UK).

Matt will be appearing with Howard Zinn at New York University on Thursday 12 November to promote The People Speak. More details here.

Photos of Matt with producer Chris Moore on the set of The Adjustment Bureau on Saturday are at WENN.

Photos of Matt and Emily Blunt on the set of The Adjustment Bureau in recent days are from Us magazine, Zimbio and the New York Post.

An article from Kris Tapley at In Contention discusses Matt's recent New York Times profile and its relevance to Matt's award prospects.

Steven Soderbergh compared Matt to Jack Lemmon in this article at Newsblaze. Meanwhile, Soderbergh is looking to sell the Liberace project to a distributor at the upcoming American Film Market.

Stephen Soderbergh has compared Matt Damon to screen legend Jack Lemmon. The movie director - who has worked with the Hollywood actor on 'The Informant!' and the 'Oceans' 11' film franchise - has praised Matt for his acting ability and admits he is delighted to see him portray such a variety of characters.

He said: "'The Informant!' seemed like a Billy Wilder Movie in a way, with Matt as Jack Lemmon.

"I always enjoy making the 'Oceans' films because it is a justifiable way of playing with the camera, but in a movie like this, my job is to let Matt's performance take position front and centre, just be simple."

Don Cheadle discussed Matt at a recent Ante Up For Africa tournament.

Cheadle admits that Damon's fundraising turn on 'Entourage' was "one of the most brilliant pieces of acting he's ever done. I think he should forget all that 'Bourne' stuff and just focus on yucking it up."

Fortunately his fellow "Ante Up For Africa" member has never hit him up for charity cash with that intensity. "Matt and I are part of an organization together, so we don't have to resort to such things," says Cheadle.

Charlize Theron (at ContactMusic - unknown source) and Josh Groban (in a chat with fans, copied here), both discussed Matt's absence at the OneXOne event.

"I think he's with his family and he needs us to respect that privacy and time right now." Charlize Theron was coy about the "family emergency" that kept Matt Damon from hosting a charity event in San Francisco.

Groban: I just got back from San Francisco, and did the amazing OneXOne Charity event there. It's a great organization with a lot of great people. It reminds me a lot of kind of the work my Foundation is doing in so much as it focuses on the places that kind of have been ignored, and focuses on the places where a little bit can make an enormous difference.

And so, you know, I do support them and they have been supporting me as well with my organization. So, that was a really great experience to be there and to see everybody. We missed Matt Damon. It's his... this thing is his baby and the fact that he wasn't there, we knew that something was very, very wrong. As he said in the press, it was a family emergency, and we wish him and his family all the best during this very, very difficult time for him. But we raised over a million dollars that night which was a big deal for him and the organization. So congratulations to them and for everybody who donated.

Matt was interviewed by Dina Eastwood (Clint's wife) for the Summer 2009 issue of Artworks Magazine. The article isn't online (although a longer version of the interview was promoted as being available online - I encourage you to write to the magazine and ask for it to become available!) Matt discusses various topics including filming in South Africa, working for months on the Afrikaans accent, the relevance of art in his life and the futility of press junkets. Brother Kyle is interviewed in the Fall issue of the magazine (available now). Here's part of Dina's introduction.

Dina Eastwood: But behind the movie star, Matt Damon is an "Aw shucks, want another beer?" type of guy. He could be sitting next to you at the pool, and you may or may not notice. He is not imposing, nor impossibly good looking, but can surely be both, if need be. He is also devoted to his family, work and making the world a better place.

For his most recently completed film, "Invictus", which wrapped in South Africa in May, he wrangled with a challenging accent, had to modify his physique to play rugby star Francois Pienaar, and still find time to swim with his young daughters.

The New York Times has a new profile of Matt as part of its holiday movie preview - selected quotes below:

Details matter to Matt Damon, who has put together his quietly impressive résumé with a curatorial eye, working his way to the top of the Hollywood heap while avoiding the traps of a typical A-list career. "The leading-man stuff doesn't come easily to me," he said. "I've always felt like a character actor.”

This may sound like false modesty from someone who, at 39, has yet to lose the golden-boy aura of his breakout role in "Good Will Hunting" (1997), a vehicle he wrote for himself with his boyhood friend Ben Affleck. But the increasing variety of Mr. Damon’s roles and the almost perversely self-effacing ease with which he sinks into them suggest the thoughtful, restless sensibility of an actor who, as his frequent collaborator Steven Soderbergh put it, "is thinking about expanding himself as opposed to presenting himself as a movie star."

The hallmark of Mr. Damon’s screen presence is his intelligent physicality, his ability to convey plot points and character psychology through subtle, precise shifts in facial expressions and body language, whether playing the tightly coiled Jason Bourne or the schlumpy Mark Whitacre in "The Informant!"

Morgan Freeman, who plays Mr. Mandela in "Invictus," said that Mr. Damon is, "like myself, a journeyman," meaning it as a compliment. "He always gets the job done," Mr. Freeman said. "There's no strain in his work."

But understatement is often overlooked, as Mr. Damon is well aware. "There's a style of acting that tends to get rewarded,"Mr. Damon said. After a pause, he added, "It's not what I do." (His one acting Oscar nomination was for "Good Will Hunting.")

That has never stopped big-name directors from snapping him up, and Mr. Damon is solidly booked for much of the next year. After "The Adjustment Bureau" he'll work with Mr. Eastwood again in the supernatural thriller "Hereafter." He'll also be in the Coen brothers' adaptation of Charles Portis’s novel "True Grit," opposite Jeff Bridges; George Clooney's "Hamdan vs. Rumsfeld," about the United States government's case against Osama bin Laden's driver; and Mr. Soderbergh's film about Liberace, with Michael Douglas as the kitschy pianist and Mr. Damon as his bodyguard and lover.

Mr. Damon lives with his wife of four years, Luciana, who is not involved in the film industry, and their three daughters in New York. "Barring me getting up on a bar and dancing or leaving my wife for Lindsay Lohan, there’s no story to update," he said. "Every six months someone comes and squeezes off a picture of me and, yup, I'm still married."

His oddly low-key brand of stardom allows Mr. Damon, craftsmanlike actor that he is, simply to get on with the job. He is both ambitious enough to mention, more than once, "my list," an inventory of filmmakers he still wants to work with, and modest enough to note that the list has already exceeded his wildest expectations.

Two television commercials for Invictus, which are being shown on high rotation during the baseball World Series, are available here and here. They incorporate new footage not included in the first trailer.

Parade editor Janice Kaplan provides an update on America's Giving Challenge, promoted by Matt.

For a guy who's handsome, smart, and one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, Matt Damon is charmingly humble. When I first met him to talk about charitable causes, he explained that he didn't want to lecture anyone. He cares about the big problems in the world--like extreme poverty and access to clean water--and all he wanted to do was encourage others to learn about the issues.

In the cover story he wrote for PARADE, he urged everyone to give time or attention to a cause they cared about. To get involved on any level. And to make a contribution of any size to America's Giving Challenge, because together, we can move mountains.

I'm happy to report that the mountains are moving.

Three weeks into PARADE's Giving Challenge, more than 50,000 people have donated to 7,000 charities--giving well over a million dollars. Just days after Matt's article appeared, the donations to one of his organizations, water.org, were enough to supply some 800 people water for a lifetime.

The Coen Brothers are holding auditions in Fort Worth in a few weeks for the key role of Mattie in their upcoming True Grit.

Matt as Jason Bourne has been named one of Empire magazine's ten icons of the decade. All ten icons have been given their own cover - available here.

Photos of Matt and Lucy leaving lunch at Sant Ambroeus in the West Village on Thursday are at PopSugar and Zimbio.

Adrian Grenier discussed Matt's fake video for Entourage at OK.

"He’s the sweetest guy. I can’t imagine anybody would’ve bought that whole thing. He’s a great actor, but he’s a nice guy. Anybody that knows better would quickly see right through the joke."

The first trailers for Green Zone and Invictus have been released. New photos and the US Green Zone trailer are available at Screencrave.com. Update: There's a second (and completely different) trailer that has been released in the UK for Green Zone which is available here, from MSN UK. The official site for Green Zone is also now live.
"
The official trailer for Invictus is available at the Apple site, with another version available at Rope of Silicon. The official site for Invictus is also live.

Drew McWeeny of HitFix, who has already seen an unfinished cut of Green Zone, discusses the film and Matt's recent role choices here.

Did any of you see the season finale of "Entourage" this year? Best part of the whole thing was Matt Damon's appearance as himself, pushing his children's charity with all the intensity of Jason Bourne trying to shake an answer out of a bad guy.

I like Damon a lot as an actor, and I like that he has reached a place in his career where almost every time out, he's working with a world-class filmmaker, taking chances, following his own personal passions. I think his work in "The Informant!" was great this year, and I've been curious to see how his work with Clint Eastwood would turn out on "Invictus." Greg Ellwood's going to write up of the "Invictus" trailer over at his Awards Campaign blog, which makes sense, since I have no doubt this will turn out to be one of the year's big awards season titles.

It's a shame that Universal pulled "Green Zone" out of play for this year, though. The movie works both as political body blow and unapologetic action film. It marries the sensibilities of both "United 93" and the "Bourne" series, and it seems to me to be the most commercial thing that Greengrass has ever made, even if it is set in Iraq.

I can't speak to the finished film, but I can say that "Green Zone" is a perfect role for Matt Damon. He plays a guy who is part of the initial raids on all the sites where weapons of mass destruction are supposedly stored, and he notices that each place they hit, the intelligence they were given does not match the physical evidence they find. Determined to figure out where these reports are coming from, his character steps outside the system and very quickly finds himself in over his head.

Matt talks family issues, including whether he will be having another child, at this German site - my translation is below.

Would you like to have more children?
Yes, we are seriously considering it. However, our life with three children is already very full.
