Some news being thrown around the playground today is that Matt and Ben may team up again for a project. We get the scoop on this glorious possibility from our friends at IMDB:
Hollywood pals Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are writing their first screenplay together since 1997 hit Good Will Hunting. The pair were unknowns when they wrote and starred in the critically lauded movie, which won them an Academy Award for Best Screenplay in 1998. Since their success they have mostly gone their separate ways, with Affleck starring in blockbuster Armageddon and Damon in The Bourne Identity and its sequels. They are currently enjoying a joint holiday with their families in Hawaii – but are finally keen to team up again. Damon’s spokesperson tells the New York Daily News, “That’s their plan. Whether or not they are doing it right now, I don’t know.”
I think it would be great if these guys did another project together. Their story is a Cinderella tale full of of Hollywood magic. These two have worked together since Good Will Hunting, their spot in Jay And Silent Bob was hilarious but I think it is time that the two join forces again and hammer out another story for us to hear.
I am not certain if these two will act in the new film, write, direct, produce or simply do the whole ball of wax. I am personally hoping that they write something together, if they act in it great, if not I am cool with that. These two came out of no where and won an Oscar, I think it would be a delight to see what they can pen now, years later and hardened by years in the industry. Now we wait and see.
