Oscar winner Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby - 2004) has been tapped to play South African leader Nelson Mandela in the film adaptation, ‘The Human Factor’.

The motion picture will be based on an upcoming book, titled ‘The Human Factor: Nelson Mandela and the Game that Changed the World’, by journalist John Carlin. The book examines Mandela’s public and private life in the first year of his presidency, when South Africa was just emerging from years of apartheid and Mandela was putting his 27 years of imprisonment behind him.

Revelations Entertainment, is expected to begin production on the movie in early 2008, according to Reuters.
