Matt Damon's Preproduction Movies

>

Matt Damon is a talented actor, writer and director who should really give us plenty to appear forward to over the subsequent 3 decades. At age forty he has already received 3 Oscar nominations, winning Best Screenwriter along with his friend Ben Affleck for the movie "Superior Will Hunting" in which Ben, Matt, and Robin Williams all played fantastic roles. Matt was also nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for this movie.

At the time I researched Matt Damon's preproduction movies as an actor he had listed two movies in preproduction as properly as three extra in post production. Let us take a quick look at what we can anticipate to see from Matt in the subsequent year or so.

In preproduction there had been the movies "Accurate Grit" (2010) and "Contagion" (2011).

"Accurate Grit" is a remake of a 1969 John Wayne movie in which the 14 year old daughter of a man who was murdered enlists the help of lawmen to track down her father's killer. Based on a Charles Portis' original novel and directed by Ethan and Joel Coen, this is to follow extra closely the particulars as originally written. Steven Spielberg is the producer so I have no doubt in my mind this will be a top quality production. The cast is especially strong with Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin anchoring the lead roles and Hailee Steinfeld ("She's a Fox") playing the portion of the 14 year old girl looking for justice. Presently this is scheduled for a enormous Christmas Day release on 12/25/2010.

"Contagion" is a movie I like to classify as an Apocalyptic Drama, or in other words, the feasible finish of the world. I have noticed it listed as an action / thriller by IMDB and in some articles as a bio-hazard drama. It is becoming directed and produced by Steven Soderbergh. The movie sports a incredibly talented cast which includes Matt Damon, Kate Winslet, Bruce Boxleitner, Megan Gallagher, Jude Law and a different favorite of mine, Laurence Fishburne.

The plot centers about the release of a strain of Ebola by terrorists. It starts off with the President of the United States (Bruce Boxleitner) being targeted by the virus but it spreads globe-wide although a group of Physicians and Scientists attempt to uncover a way of stopping the destruction that is resulting from the release of the bio-hazard.

The one movie I discovered in post production when I did my search for Matt Damon's preproduction movies was what I suspect will be a film garnering a lot of Oscar Nominations. Why do I say this? Well Clint Eastwood is directing the movie, enough said.

"Hereafter" (12/2010) is a supernatural thriller that promises to be quite entertaining with an wonderful cast led by Matt Damon. The plot entails 3 story lines. Matt plays a factory worker that can talk to the dead, across the ocean in France is a journalist played by Cecile De France who has a near death experience and in London a drug addicted single mom (Lyndsey Marshal) loses a 10 year old son (a twin) in a automobile accident.

The 3 story lines eventually connect as answers are sought by all 3 to their individual circumstances. This certainly promises to be an terrific vehicle for the talents of Clint Eastwood who appears to be at the center every single year when the Oscars are handed out.

I need to have to conclude this post on Matt Damon's preproduction movies but I will be back with alot more articles on upcoming projects from my preferred actors, directors and producers.
