It has been revealed that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are set to reunite on screen for their first film major film since Good Will Hunting.
The actors, who co-wrote and starred in the 1997 film, are set to join forces to work on the biopic of Whitey Bulger, a Boston ganster.
It was revealed Matt Damon will be taking on the lead role of the criminal whilst Affleck is set to direct the film and star as a secondary character.
During an interview with GQ Magazine, Damon said: "We're doing a Whitey Bulger movie. There are a couple of competing movies and I don't think it's been announced yet that we're doing it."
"But the sooner it's announced the better, just because everyone else will back off, hopefully. I'm really excited about it."
The two actors will be co-producing the film with a script from Broadwalk Empire writer Terrence Winter. The biopic will tell the story of Bulger, his youth and his life on the run for 16 years.
Until then Matt Damon can be seen on screen in Steven Soderbergh's new sci-fi film Contagion, alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Laurence Fishburne and Marion Cotillard.
