Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's production company, Artists Equity, has entered a multi-year first-look streaming, production, and distribution agreement with Netflix. The deal positions Artists Equity as the lead studio for its films on the platform, following the success of their recent release 'The Rip.' This partnership builds on an existing theatrical arrangement with Sony Pictures.
Matt Damon has voiced strong reservations about the Oscar campaigning process, labeling it 'completely backwards' and 'odd' during a promotional interview for his new Netflix film The Rip. The actor, who has a history of Academy Award success, acknowledged potential benefits for films but prefers to avoid the promotional grind. Despite this, Damon is likely to engage in campaigning again for his role in Christopher Nolan's upcoming epic The Odyssey.
