Ben Affleck Talks Working Again with Matt Damon in The Last Duel

New DVD release, , , ,
The movie industry has changed a lot since Ben Affleck and Matt Damon first conquered it in 1997. Once two hungry actors who’d done a lot of supporting work up to that point, the pair became overnight stars and Hollywood golden boys thanks in large part to co-writing and co-starring in Good Will Hunting. It netted each an Oscar for screenwriting. The memories of those early breaks reemerged in a recent awards screening Q&A that Damon moderated with Affleck for the latter’s new film The Way Back. Clearly a personal passion project for Affleck, the sports drama about a high…

Ben Affleck Gave Notes on The Flash Movie Script Before Agreeing to Return as Batman

New DVD release, , , , , ,
The internet exploded yesterday with the news that Ben Affleck would return to his role as the DCEU Batman for The Flash movie, his first time in the Dark Knight’s cape and cowl since 2016’s Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice and 2017’s ill-fated Justice League. Affleck at one point had been expected to direct, co-write, and star in a Batman solo movie of his own, but eventually left the project amid continued creative reshufflings and his own personal commitments. Most DCEU fans expected that they wouldn’t get a chance to see Affleck in the Batman costume again. But all…

Ben Affleck Returns as Batman for The Flash Movie

New DVD release, , , ,
Well, anything is possible in the DCEU now. Whether it’s Zack Snyder finally getting to complete his legendary (or infamous) “Snyder Cut” of Justice League, or Ezra Miller showing up in full Flash costume for a cameo in TV’s Crisis on Infinite Earths, it seems that the walls that divide the various divisions of DC Entertainment are less stable than they were in the past. But nothing is perhaps more momentous than Ben Affleck returning to Batman, a role which he played in two movies and then left before he could appear in a solo film. Affleck will return to…

Ben Affleck to Direct Film About Hollywood Making Chinatown

New DVD release, , , , ,
Ben Affleck is returning to 1970s Hollywood for his next directorial effort. As the filmmaker who won a Best Picture Oscar for Argo in 2013, a movie that briefly crossed paths with Tinseltown at the height of Star Wars fever in the late ‘70s, Affleck already knows well the setting of The Big Goodbye, which is being developed at Paramount Pictures. And with the new movie focused on Paramount’s struggles in making the legendary Chinatown, this means Affleck is helming a movie where Jack Nicholson, Roman Polanski, and Faye Dunaway are all characters. Also set to write the screenplay, Affleck…

Ben Affleck Reacts to the Justice League Snyder Cut News

New DVD release, , , ,
The afterglow is still prevalent amongst the fandom after the long-running hashtag-hailing “Release the Snyder Cut” movement recently achieved its objective, with the formerly mythical version of director Zack Snyder’s 2017 DC megamovie, Justice League, now set for streaming platform HBO Max. While opinions on this news—just as with the film itself—remain divisive, star Ben Affleck’s reaction was anything but another “Sadfleck” meme moment. In a message sent to longtime friend/co-star Kevin Smith’s Fatman Beyond podcast, Affleck—who, of course, played Bruce Wayne/Batman in the film—bestowed praise on the Snyder Cut victory; not a surprising move, seeing as he and the…

Ben Affleck Remembers Disappointing Buffy the Vampire Slayer Performance

New DVD release, , , , , ,
Do you remember Ben Affleck in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie? Of course you do! Hard to let such an unforgettable performance fade from the mind, but incredibly, though Affleck’s “Uncredited Basketball Player #10” was surely a key piece of the Buffy puzzle back in 1992, his character is generally more commonly referred to as “hey, was that …was that Ben Affleck?” Hard to believe. Powerful, and underrated. In a new interview with The Jess Cagle Show on SiriusXM, Affleck certainly hadn’t blocked out his early Buffy the Vampire Slayer experience, as the actor explained how the movie, which…
