No one does friendship quite like Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. They are not only known for having Hollywood's longest-standing bond, but also for their successful creative partnership with a rich shared body of work. From meeting on the streets of Massachusetts as neighbors before they even stepped into their teens, to starting a production company together, they have witnessed each other’s journeys to stardom from the closest of perspectives. And now, the duo is coming together yet again for their tenth collaboration.

Netflix is about to reunite this dynamic pair for an exciting project that is gearing up for production soon.

The last time Ben Affleck and Matt Damons were seen working together was in the year 2023 for the sport drama, Air. As Netflix announced recently, they are teaming back again this year for a crime thriller, titled RIP. The movie would be written and directed by Joe Carnahan, and the cast, Affleck and Damons, are producing the project themselves through their production company, Artists Equity, which also produced Air last year.  

While Affleck and Damon have collaborated several times, they have acted together in only a handful of films, including Good Will Hunting, Dogma, The Last Duel, and Air. Currently, there is no available information on the plot or release date for their upcoming collaboration. However, filming is scheduled to begin this fall. RIP was not Netflix's initial plan for Affleck and Damon.

Netflix had originally targeted a different project starring the Hollywood heavyweights, which ultimately did not materialize. 

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were initially producing and acting in the crime thriller Animals. The movie was supposed to be directed by the Hypnotic actor himself, and Damon was going to star in it. The project had also finalized Connor McIntyre and Billy Ray as scriptwriters. However, due to some scheduling conflicts, the venture got pushed back in production, making room for RIP.

Animals focused on the kidnapping of the son of a mayoral candidate. Along with Damon, Jennifer Garner was also rumored to have been cast for the film. While Animals could not come through, RIP is set to reunite childhood friends Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's creative genius on screen together.
