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," "Spider-Man 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.
