HWD Daily – Matt & Ben Forever
Matt & Ben Forever
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have shared the screen numerous times, since even before their Oscar-winning drama, Good Will Hunting, was released in 1997. But Damon had never been directed by Affleck until they collaborated on Air, a movie about the Nike execs who brought the Air Jordan to market in 1984. “He’s a brilliant director. He’s just absolutely great, and I can’t wait to do it again,” Damon told Paul Chi at the film’s Los Angeles premiere Monday. “He’s my ride-or-die as a friend and creative partner.”
