Reunited and it feels so good! Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are teaming up on their first real film project since Good Will Hunting.
According to Deadline, Ben and Matt are working on the story of New England gangster, Whitey Bulger.
Ben is set to direct the Warner Bros. film as well as co-star and produce with Matt, who will play Bulger.
Casey Affleck, Ben's younger brother who starred with the two in Good Will Hunting, will also have a supporting role in the film.
“Matt and I have been looking for something to do together for some time,” Ben said. “We’ve heard about Whitey Bulger since we were kids, and we are excited by the prospect of putting it on screen.”
Do you think Ben and Matt will have just as much success with this project as they did with Good Will Hunting?
