Hollywood stars and best friends **Matt Damon** and **Ben Affleck** are set to appear together onscreen once again!

After kicking off their careers with *Good Will Hunting* back in 1998 and working on a bunch of films over the years, including the 2023 movie *AIR,* they'll reunite for a crime thriller titled *RIP.* 

According to [*Deadline*](https://deadline.com/2024/06/matt-damon-ben-affleck-rip-artists-equity-joe-carnahan-1235977572/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io#recipient%5Fhashed=cd07fc4249297dd60f88127c89cb89e98be21f2f290ef5aa46f320da52a22c48&recipient%5Fsalt=021da62634d6e8e19df0d8fe134676e2b3c42df8474b7350d013d5d7206059c9) it will be written and directed by Joe Carnahan who is behind movies like *Smokin' Aces, Boss Level* and *Copshop.* And it will be produced by Matt and Ben's company, Artists Equity.

No further details about the project have been shared at this stage.

The famous duo started their [production company](https://artistsequity.com/about/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) in 2022 with the aim of focusing on artists and creators' projects "so that all can truly participate." Artist Equity's first film was *AIR* which shared the story of how Nike convinced basketball legend Michael Jordan to collab with the company, ultimately leading to the Air Jordan line.

This year, they released *The Greatest Love Story Never Told,* a documentary about global superstar Jennifer Lopez's new album *This is Me... Now.* There are also lots more projects in the works including *Unstoppable* which also stars Jennifer Lopez, *The Instigators* which will see Matt onscreen with Ben's brother, actor Casey Affleck, and a film adaptation of the novel *Small Things Like These* starring Cillian Murphy and Emma Watson.

“When Cillian and Alan Moloney brought this project to us, we instantly said we wanted to help bring it to life," Matt and Ben[ said](https://variety.com/2024/film/news/cillian-murphy-small-things-like-these-lionsgate-north-america-uk-ireland-1236026089/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io). "We couldn’t be prouder of that decision. This is simply a wonderful film, one that we think really does justice to Claire Keegan’s astounding, poignant novella."

*Small Things Like These* is due to be released in November 2024.
