QuoteQuestion: who's going to be the baddie rapists? Damon or Affleck?
Damon is slightly older than Affleck so he might possibly play the knight (Jean de Carrouges) and Affleck the squire (Jacques Le Gris) who is also the rapist. A "squire" back then was a knight's apprentice and was usually much younger than his master.
But then again, there's only about two years difference in age between Damon and Affleck so it could equally well be the other way around I suppose.
QuoteI think it has something to do with Affleck making joke (did he really because I'm not sure what happened) about harassment allegation few years ago.
I don't know, it sounds like a lot of SJW's have a beef with the plot itself. Read through the comments on that twitter post above for some examples.
QuoteI'm glad Matt has read/still reading the book because Scott won't He didn't even read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Scott said he tried to read DADoES but couldn't finish it. The thing with that was, was that when he signed up to do Blade Runner (or whatever it was called at that point - I think it was just simply called "Android") Fancher already had a good script that was already veering from the book. And when Scott came on with his own ideas it veered even further making the book kind of redundant at that stage.
I remember though, Scott said in an interview that he didn't read The Martian because he didn't want to "meddle" with the script. So no idea if this could be the case here as well. I would imagine that Damon would be reading it (as pictured) since he is one of the three script writers on this.
QuoteI'm also glad that Matt is working with Ridley again which probably will be used to promote the movie considering they succeeded previously with The Martian.
Yeah, Matt also campaigned hard for an Oscar for Ridley on The Martian. Though I doubt the Oscar people would even look at this considering it's already considered "controversial" without even a single frame of film being shot yet.
