Belgian actress Cecile de France ("High Tension," "Russian Dolls") will be starring alongside Matt Damon and Lyndsey Marshal "The Hours" in Clint Eastwood's supernatural drama "Hereafter" for Warner Bros.

Eastwood who also co-produced the movie alongside Kathleen Kennedy and Robert Lorenz, will direct the movie from Peter Morgan's ("The Queen," "Frost/Nixon") script.

Story revolves around three people who are touched by death in different ways; De France will play a French journalist who has a near-death experience during the Asian tsunami of 2004; Lyndsey Marshal plays a drug-addicted English single mother who loses one of her twin 10-year-old sons in a car accident; Damon plays a person who can talk to the dead.

Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Peter Morgan and Tim Moore are exec producers.

Shooting, which has already started last month, will take place in Paris, London, Hawaii and San Francisco. Movie is scheduled to be released in December 2010.
