Kevin Smith reveals the wild film he plans to pitch to Ben Affleck: He offers to produce my ‘cheap movies’
NY Post
Kevin Smith has a new idea about a collaboration with his longtime pal Ben Affleck.
While promoting his new film “The 4:30 Movie,” the 54-year-old director exclusively told The Post that he would work with Affleck, 52, again “in a heartbeat.”
In fact, Smith said he’s currently working on a new project that he wants Affleck and Matt Damon to produce via their production company, Artists Equity.
“I’ve known Ben for years, and he was always a wonderful actor. And then, of course, he became a great director,” Smith told The Post.
“And him and Matt have Artists Equity,” he continued. “So we were texting last year and he [Affleck] goes, ‘Oh, I got to blow you up about my company, man. You got cheap movies. Bring them here.’ I’m like, heavens, all I got is cheap movies, for heaven’s sake.”
Smith admitted that while “most of the stuff I do I would honestly never think about bringing to Ben and Matt,” he’s changing his tune for his latest brainchild.
