Matt Damon: Last News

Matt Damon is opening up about his role in The Talented Mr. Ripley.

The Hulk Hogan vs Gawker court case looks to be getting the movie treatment as sources tell Deadline that Gus Van Sant is in early talks to direct the pic Killing Gawker with Artists Equity producing. Artist Equity co-founders Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are producing but not attached to star at this time.

Ben Affleck is reportedly eager to take on the role of Hulk Hogan in a new film about the wrestler’s sex tape legal saga with Gawker.Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company Artist Equity are said to be lined up to produce the film, provisionally titled Killing Gawker, with filming set to start in January 2025 (via PWInsider).The film would tell the story of Hogan’s legal battle with the American celebrity blog Gawker, who in 2012 released a clip of a sex tape that the WWE star was not aware was being filmed.Hogan filed a lawsuit against the site, backed by PayPal founder Peter Thiel, who Damon will reportedly portray in the film. The wrestler was eventually rewarded $115million for defamation, loss of privacy and emotional pain, and the saga contributed to Gawker’s eventual demise.The Killing Gawker screenplay was written by Charles Randolph, who picked up an Oscar for The Big Short, and was based on Ryan Holiday’s 2018 book Conspiracy: A True Story of Power, Sex and a Billionaire’s Secret Plot to Destroy a Media Empire, which documented Thiel’s personal vendetta against Gawker for outing him as gay.In 2020, Chris Hemsworth was rumoured to be taking on the role of Hogan in a biopic, but that project has not yet materialised.In other Affleck news, last week, reports emerged that he and Jennifer Lopez are to file for divorce after two years of marriage.It came after Affleck purchased a new $20.5million “bachelor pad” mansion in Pacific Palisades on Wednesday, July 24, the day of Lopez’s 55th birthday.

—plus his mom—along to the premiere of his new movie, The Instigators, which is a good reminder that while he is still, you know, Matt Damon, he’s also just somebody’s dad.On July 31, Damon was joined on the carpet not just by his wife, Luciana Damon, but also their three teenage daughters, Luciana’s oldest daughter, and Damon’s mom, Nancy Carlsson-Paige. Eighteen-year-old Isabella, 15-year-old Gia, and 13-year-old Stella, joined their parents and stepsister Alexia Barroso, 24, for a rare group shot all together.Perhaps part of the reason the Damons decided to make this premiere a family affair is the fact that Luciana Damon is a producer on the film, so the couple got to work on it together.
