Best friends Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have found their next collaboration. The “Good Will Hunting” and “Air” team will star in “RIP,” a new Netflix thriller from writer-director Joe Carnahan.

Plot details and a release date remain under wraps. The film will be produced by Artists Equity, the artist studio founded by Affleck and Damon in 2022.

Artist Equity’s other projects include the film “Small Things Like These” with Cillian Murphy, a sequel to “The Accountant” and the films “Unstoppable” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman” with Jennifer Lopez.

Affleck and Damon have a long history of collaboration, first teaming up for 1997’s Good Will Hunting, which earned them an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. They starred together in Ridley Scott’s historical drama The Last Duel, alongside Jodie Comer and Adam Driver, in 2021. Their last project was the 2023 sports drama Air, which Affleck also directed.

He was recently seen in Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning “Oppenheimer” and Ethan Coen’s “Drive-Away Dolls.” He is next set to star alongside Affleck’s brother Casey in the heist comedy “The Instigators.”

Affleck recently reprised his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman in 2023’s “The Flash” and appeared in his wife Jennifer Lopez’s film “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story.”

Carnahan’s previous films include the 2002 crime thriller “Narc,” the 2006 action film “Smokin’ Aces” and 2021’s “Copshop.” Upcoming films include “Shadow Force” with Kerry Washington and “Not Without Hope,” with Zachary Levi.

Affleck and Damon are represented by WME, while Carnahan is represented by CAA.
