Matt Damon & Ben Affleck Will Star in a New Movie Together, Which They Also Co-Wrote

Just what the world was waiting for!

Which one is the squire?

Or is it like real life and they're both "the squire?"

Is this the story of how they invented double headed dildo in the middle ages? Because I'm pretty sure it was invented in India in 3000 B.C.

I read that in The National Geographic.

[quote] Which one is the squire?

Matt looks more like the stumpy and dumpy submissive Sancho Panza type, self-deprecating and humorous, while indulging his knight to a point but serving a bit of truth and wisdom the knight can handle and absorb. So I’ll say Matt is the knight. Ben is more the self-deluded Quixotic type who both indulges and fights addictions and obsessions of his own making. So he’s the knight.

Terrible idea, if they're acting in it as well as writing. I don't think either of them have the range to play historical characters, they'd look absolutely fucking ridiculous as Medieval Frenchmen.

If an English-language version of this story is ever made, it should star proper theater-trained Brit actors who know their way around a Shakespear play.

Matt has credibly played some historical and semi-historical characters. Ben’s such performances were ludicrous. He’s not a true actor.

I'm looking forward to the Jay & Silent Bob movie more.

They had bit parts in one of the Jay and Silent Bob movies.

Medieval knights were not 50 years old.

"They had bit parts in one of the Jay and Silent Bob movies. "

They played a couple of angels booted out of heaven in "Dogma", good-sized roles and not bits. I really liked that movie.

As long as Ben will able to go to church with me on Sunday I think this is a good idea.

R10 whatever you need to tell yourself, Jen.

They should do a remake of Chuck and Buck.

But Dogma wasn’t primarily a Jay and Silent Bob film. Jay and Silent Bob had good-sized roles in Dogma too but it wasn’t a film about them. Ben and Matt has less substantial roles than them.

R6, Thrilled that truly funny series with a strong undercurrent of truth is being rebooted. Been a long, long time.

Unless it features real life bareback fucking between them both I'm not interested.

Will there be Damon butt?

R17 asking the pertinent question.

Kind of tone deaf plot for these times, no?

Affleck and Damon as two Medieval French nights is absolutely ridiculous. They wouldn't even be remotely believable.

Inspired casting! -- said absolutely no one, anywhere

WBDC should hire them to write and star as Booster Gold and OG Blue Beetle, instead. Blue Beetle during his fat period! It would be a perfect role for them both.

Affleck is one of those actors who you can't believe as a character in a role because his personal life has overshadowed everything, like Pitt and Jolie. You're always watching "Ben Affleck" because you can't see him as anyone else. The smart actors keep their personal lives as private as possible so the audience can still buy them as a character.

Ben Affleck & Matt Damon Step Out After Announcing New Movie!

Ben Affleck flashes a smirk as he steps out for lunch at The Tavern on Tuesday afternoon (July 23) in Brentwood, Calif.

The 46-year-old actor looked cool in a white, buttoned-down shirt and blue trousers for his outing after having a meeting at his house with Matt Damon.

The day before, it was announced that Ben and Matt are currently working on a new movie together, titled The Last Duel.

The longtime friends will be co-writing the screenplay with Can You Ever Forgive Me? screenwriter Nicole Holofcener. Ben and Matt will be also be starring in the film.

[quote] Or marry a non-description rabbit-faced wife.

I meant “non-descript, rabbit-faced wife.”

[quote]Killing Eve's Jodie Comer is in talks to star in the feudal drama THE LAST DUEL opposite Matt Damon & Ben Affleck as a wife who gets raped by her husband's best friend, just in case you wondered what happens after an actress wins an Emmy for an iconic role

😬

r23/25, rabbit-faced is pretty descript.

Ben Affleck cannot act.

Repeat.

Ben Affleck cannot act.

Every time he appeared on screen in "Argo", he drained all the energy off the screen.

The rest of the cast was great.

And then there was Ben.

Ben Affleck cannot act.

Better if they'd set it in contemporary times. Ben and Matt would be more believable. The medieval setting is pointless. Sure, you need to come up with some reason why they'd agree to a duel. But that shouldn't be difficult.

And yes, I look forward to the new Jay and Silent Bob reboot. Why didn't Mewes become a bigger star?

Matt and Ben doing period roles. And French, no less!

Sounds boring, but it will be funny to see Damon and Affleck try to pull of a period piece. You can take the New Englanders out of the trash but you can’t take the trash out of the New Englanders.

[quote]So I’ll say Matt is the knight. Ben is more the self-deluded Quixotic type who both indulges and fights addictions and obsessions of his own making. So he’s the knight.

Well, which one is it, r3? You’ve got them both playing the Knight!

So the wife accuses Le Gris of raping her?

r31 Ben and Matt are both from educated UMC families, they're not Southie trash like Wahlberg.

Dumb Will Hunting

I just can’t see it as anything but Monty Pythonesque in my mind. Not that that’s a problem, might work as a comedy.

Triple the catering budget.

^ Hopefully, the catering will include booze

Adam Driver in Talks to Star Opposite Matt Damon in 'The Last Duel' as Ben Affleck Takes Supporting Role

Adam Driver is in early talks to star opposite Matt Damon in The Last Duel.

Sources have shared with Variety that the 35-year-old actor might be replacing Ben Affleck in the leading role in the upcoming Ridley Scott directed movie. Ben is now taking a supporting role in the movie.

Back in July, it was announced that Matt and Ben were teaming up again to co-write the script for The Last Duel with Can You Ever Forgive Me? screenwriter Nicole Holofcener.

Here’s the synopsis: “Set in 14th century France, the movie is an epic tale of betrayal and justice, told from three distinct points of view: two knights (Matt and Adam) whose bond is tested by treachery and a young woman (Jodie Comer) forced to navigate the brutal and oppressive culture of the era in order to survive.”

Disney and Fox have not yet greenlit the film and are still deciding how to proceed. If it does get the go-ahead, The Last Duel should begin production in early 2020.

This is a security measure, r39, in case Ben doesn't want to/can't lose the bloat.

I seriously thought OP had some up with a brilliant parody post.

They seriously are going to play a middle ages French knight and his squire?! Middle-aged yes, middle-ages no.
