In an exciting development for fans of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, their latest collaboration, “RIP,” is heading to Netflix. The streaming giant has acquired the rights to this thriller feature, directed by Joe Carnahan and produced by Damon and Affleck’s company, Artists Equity.
The Dynamic Duo Returns
Damon and Affleck will co-star in the movie while also serving as producers. While specific plot details remain under wraps, the project is already generating buzz. The Hollywood Reporter noted last month that the film package was being shopped around, with plans to begin filming this fall.
This isn’t the first time Damon and Affleck have joined forces. The duo, who won Oscars for their screenplay work on “Good Will Hunting,” recently co-starred in Amazon’s “Air,” directed by Affleck. Their previous collaborations also include “Dogma,” “The Last Duel,” and a memorable Dunkin’ Donuts Super Bowl ad.
Artists Equity, the production company founded by Damon and Affleck, aims to offer profit participation to more cast and crew members. Other notable projects from Artists Equity include Affleck’s sequel to “The Accountant” and the Jennifer Lopez-led “Unstoppable,” both set to release via Amazon MGM Studios. Additionally, they are behind the Cillian Murphy drama “Small Things Like These,” which Lionsgate will release.
Damon is set to star alongside Casey Affleck in “The Instigators,” directed by Doug Liman, which will be released by Apple next month. Ben Affleck’s recent credits include the 2023 thriller “Hypnotic,” directed by Robert Rodriguez.
Joe Carnahan, known for his work on “Copshop” (2021), “The Grey” (2011), “Smokin’ Aces” (2006), and “Narc” (2002), will helm “RIP.” His direction promises an intense and gripping experience for viewers.
Conclusion
With the powerhouse combination of Damon, Affleck, and Carnahan, “RIP” is set to be a thrilling addition to Netflix’s lineup. Fans eagerly await further details as production gears up for its fall shoot.
