Over the years, from being unaccredited teenage extras in “Field of Dreams” to co-starring, writing, and directing movies like “Good Will Hunting”, “The Last Duel”, and more recently “Air” (2023), Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have worked together extensively. Despite the upcoming biopic “Air” marking what was billed as Damon’s first time directing his Dunkin’ Donuts enthusiast friend, Affleck clarified to IndieWire that their collaboration is not a new venture but a continuation: “He used to suggest ideas for my high school plays, like ‘Dude, I think you should do it this way.'” As quoted by GQ, Damon was inspired by Peter Jackson’s documentary “Get Back” and felt the urge to collaborate with his longtime friend again. In his words, “Who cares if we flood the market with movies we’re in? We’d be crazy not to make use of the fact that we are both still here and able to do this.” Affleck, in turn, admires Damon’s skills and finds it humbling to act alongside him. Long live Mattfleck!
