Hollywood's duo, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, are teaming up once again for the crime thriller "RIP." The film, produced by their joint venture Artists Equity, will be written and directed by Joe Carnahan, known for "Smokin' Aces." While details about the plot remain under wraps, filming is expected to commence this fall.

This reunion marks another collaboration in the duo's extensive history, spanning decades and including the Oscar-winning "Good Will Hunting." Their most recent project together was the 2022 basketball drama "Air," directed by Affleck.

However, the excitement surrounding "RIP" is overshadowed by reports of marital problems between Affleck and his wife, Jennifer Lopez. Sources suggest the couple is considering divorce amidst struggles to find common ground. Lopez's recent tour cancellation and the potential sale of their Los Angeles mansion have fueled speculation about the state of their relationship.

Throughout these challenges, Affleck has reportedly leaned on Damon for support. The two have been friends since childhood and have consistently shown unwavering support for each other both personally and professionally.

As Affleck navigates his personal life, his professional collaboration with Damon continues, promising another exciting chapter in their prolific partnership.
