Rumor has it that
Ben Affleck and
Matt Damon are working
on another script together. It would be the first time in 10 years the magic
Good Will Hunting
duo put words to paper. While doing press for
The Bourne Ultimatum,
Damon revealed that their potential project is not a script collaboration.
"We’re not working on a script right now, but we’re talking about a bunch of
different things," he said. "His career just totally has gone in this really new
and exciting direction, because I’ve seen
the movie that he
directed and it is really good. So he’s gone from being an actor to now
being a director, now being somebody that can give me a job, so our whole
relationship’s completely changed."
Damon has seen Gone
Baby Gone and is so impressed, he put
Affleck on a short
list of directors he wants to work with. "It’s fantastic, the performances are
great and every actor is going to want to work with him after they see this
thing."
Hey Matt, maybe you could write something that he’ll have to direct. "That’s a
new dynamic that our partnership can have. We can do a movie that we act in, or
I act in and he directs, or something that we co-direct, or something that
co-write and co-direct, there are so many different possibilities now because
he’s gone and done this really great movie. So it’s exciting and now we’ve
started to talk about that stuff again. We both put our heads down and worked
pretty hard in this last ten years, and so now we’ve woken up with careers and
families and all the things that we wanted, and so hopefully the next ten years
will be about doing better work, maybe doing a little less of it, but doing
better stuff and doing more together."
