Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, are back at it again, gracing our screens with their undeniable charm and witty banter. This time, they’re diving into the world of crime thrillers with their upcoming movie, RIP. (No, it’s not a documentary about their friendship, though that would be hilarious.)
The mastermind behind this cinematic concoction is none other than Joe Carnahan. If you’re wondering who he is, let’s just say he’s the guy who brought us gems like 2006’s Smokin’ Aces (explosions galore), 2010’s The A-Team (more explosions), 2011’s The Grey (Liam Neeson fighting wolves), 2020’s Boss Level (time loops and explosions), and 2021’s Copshop (you guessed it, explosions).
Our beloved BFFs, Matt and Ben, first burst onto the Hollywood scene with Good Will Hunting. Remember that movie? The one that won them an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and gave us all major bromance goals? Since then, they’ve been popping up together in all sorts of flicks like Dogma (where they were angels, literally), Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (stoner comedy gold), The Last Duel (medieval drama), and Air (something about shoes, I think). And if that’s not enough, they’re also cooking up a Netflix movie called Animals. Ben’s in the director’s chair, and Matt’s doing his thing in front of the camera. Classic.
Now, back to RIP. What’s it about? Well, that’s the million-dollar question, because details are more secretive than Ben’s Batman voice. All we know, thanks to our pals at Deadline, is that the plot is under wraps tighter than a burrito at Chipotle. And as for who’s distributing this potential masterpiece? Your guess is as good as mine, but apparently, we’ll know “soon.” (Is “soon” Hollywood speak for next year? Who knows.)
So, grab your popcorn, stay tuned, and get ready for another wild ride with Ben and Matt. Because if there’s one thing we know, it’s that these two never disappoint—unless you’re still upset about Batman v Superman. But hey, nobody’s perfect!
