The Instigators - August 9, 2024

Get ready to park your car in the yard, cheer for the Red Sox, and get some slivtok.com Dunkin' Donuts because we're heading to Boston for "The Instigators." The upcoming Apple TV+ thriller will star two of the biggest Beantown talents in history — Matt Damon and Casey Affleck. While Damon is more closely associated with Casey's brother, Ben, he's appeared in multiple projects with the younger Affleck, including "Gerry," "Oppenheimer," "Good Will Hunting," and the "Ocean's" movies.
In the spirit of those aforementioned heist films, "The Instigators" will find Damon portraying a veteran and down-on-his-luck dad who teams up with Affleck's ex-con to rob a corrupt politician. Needless to say, nothing goes according to plan, and soon, they're on the run from both cops and crooks. And because Damon's character needs a little bit of help during these trying times, he kidnaps his therapist, played by Hong Chau of "The Menu." Paul Walter Hauser ("Blackbird"), Ving Rhames ("Pulp Fiction"), Alfred Molina ("Spider-Man: No Way Home"), Ron Perlman ("Hellboy"), Michael Stuhlbarg ("Doctor Strange"), Toby Jones ("Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"), and rapper Jack Harlow will also star, and the movie will be directed by Doug Liman of "Road House" and "The Bourne Identity" (marking a reunion between the filmmaker and Damon).
