The Instigators is Headed to Apple TV+
Calling all movie lovers! Matt Damon and Casey Affleck are back together, and this time, they're bringing the heat with a new heist thriller, The Instigators. This Apple TV+ original film will drop on August 9, 2024, and if the Boston-centric setting is anything to go by, it should have that cool, gritty energy, which you probably remember from Good Will Hunting. The supporting cast looks pretty solid too - Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, and Ron Perlman are involved - and if we remember the action and humor that Damon and Affleck brought to the Ocean's Movies, we're definitely going to be laughing out loud. We’re still awaiting all the box-office results, but judging from all those movie-going names involved, it sounds like an awesome film!
The story looks like it revolves around a bunch of shady folks caught in a tangled mess of intrigue and secrets. Imagine it – betrayal, a few shifting alliances and hidden motives being exposed before a shocking conclusion. We can't give you the full plot details yet. (Spoiler alert? Nope!) but we'll know soon enough when it lands on Apple TV+. It seems the excitement is building for The Instigators already, and judging from what Good Will Hunting did back in the day, maybe there’s a touch of magic for Damon and Affleck when it comes to on-screen chemistry!
