The duet from the movie «The Servant» is returning to the big screen! Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are expected to star together in an upcoming crime thriller called RIP. They will also reportedly co-produce the film through their company Artists Equity, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.
Last year, these friends starred in the sports film «Air», - based on the story of the creation of Air Jordan. Although Ben is 51 and Matt is 53, they have starred in multiple films together, with their most popular projects being «The Servant» and «The Last Duel».
Over the past 30 years, developing their strong friendship and working relationships, Matt and Ben’s jokes have become fan favorites. After winning an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for «The Servant» in 1997, they went their separate ways as actors, with Ben also taking on the role of director in several projects.
Promoting the film «Air» last year, the Oscar winners discussed their partnership in several interviews.
According to the Associated Press, Matt recalled writing «The Last Duel» with Ben and noted: «We came out of that experience thinking, 'Why don’t we do this more often?' And when you hit your 50s, you realize: if we don’t make this a priority, it just won’t happen».
Ben also explained the purpose of his Artists Equity banner, noting that they want to help «recognize artists».
«We believe that there are many truly significant artists on set who are undervalued and underestimated, and who have a huge impact on the quality of the film experience», - said the director of «Argo». «We want to approach this the same way as Michael Jordan, recognizing artists and saying, 'You deserve to be rewarded for this. You create art, beauty, magnificence.'»
In addition to their film careers, Ben and Matt teamed up to create their most iconic creation — a Dunkin' Donuts commercial for the 2024 Super Bowl, in which they are called «Dunkings». The commercial also featured Ben’s wife, Jennifer Lopez, and former NFL player Tom Brady
