Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are reuniting on screen in the intense crime thriller, RIP, directed by Joe Carnahan. The film has secured a deal with Netflix for a 2025 release and is currently being filmed in Los Angeles. The plot centers around themes of betrayal and trust within a high-stakes environment.
The cast is impressive, featuring stars like Sasha Calle from The Flash and Teyana Taylor from A Thousand and One alongside Affleck and Damon. RIP tells the story of Miami police officers who discover a vast fortune in a ‘stolen’ house, leading to fractures in their personal and professional relationships as the pressure mounts on each character.
Affleck has temporarily delayed his directorial project, Animals, to focus on RIP while also juggling additional filming for The Accountant 2. This project marks another collaboration between him and Damon, highlighting their longstanding chemistry.
Carnahan is well-acquainted with the genre, having directed notable works like Smokin’ Aces and Narc. RIP allows him to stretch beyond action sequences, focusing instead on deep crime drama narratives.
With its expected 2025 Netflix premiere, RIP is generating significant buzz as a must-see crime thriller, crafted by a director skilled in delivering tension and featuring a captivating cast that is making waves in Hollywood.
