Matt Damon Talks About His Directorial Debut

Not a gigantic article here, but some good stuff to know. According to Matt Damon, the film is nothing like Erin Brockovich. As Damon says,

“Nobody gets poisoned,” says Damon, who plans to direct the untitled film early next year. “I don’t know where that came from.”

So now that that's taken care of, what else have we got? Well. Nothing. Just this little bit of news. Which to me is enough to keep me excited.

Matt Damon To Direct ERIN BROCKOVICH-Type Project Based Off Idea From John Krasinski and Dave Eggers

Holy mother of Zeus I just got extremely excited. Matt Damon is one of my favorite actors and have been waiting to see what he's been interested in directing for some time. But this is beyond anything...ANYTHING...I could have imagined. The idea is one that actor John Krasinski came up with and worked out with author Dave Eggers (Away We Go, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius). Krasinski and Eggers worked together on Away We Go, which was a fantastically written film. There's more details on this project after the jump.
