Dynamic duo together again: Affleck and Damon will still write together because they are no longer 'incompetent'
All fans of ‘Good Will Hunting’ will be thrilled by the plans of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, who are the screenwriters behind the work. Good friends have announced that much can be expected of them as a team in the future.
Actors Ben Affleck, 48, and Matt Damon, 50, co-wrote the screenplay. This time it was for the movie "The Last Duel" in which they both act.
For Entertainment Tonight Damon revealed that their writing experience was much different than when they wrote ‘Good Will Hunting’, which was released in 1997 and for which the due received gold statuettes.
- I think that through 30 years of working on films we managed to learn something about the structure - said the actor.
He recounted how as young people as they wrote ‘Good Will Hunting’ they were very ‘incompetent’ and ‘ineffective’. They would reportedly write thousands of pages as they would follow every possible thought and development of events. Then they would have to shorten it, which would take them a lot of time.
