What? Has Jason Bourne lost his nerve? Vulture is reporting that Matt Damon will no longer be making his directorial debut, an untitled film he co-wrote with John Krasinski. The two are still expected to star, in a story that has been kept mostly under wraps to the point. What we know is that it springs from the mind of Dave Eggers(Away We Go), and involved a salesman who sees his life turned upside down when he arrives in a small town.
The only other name attached at this point is Frances McDormand, so whoever jumps aboard is going to have a wealth of talent at their disposal. The reason Vulture gives for Damon dropping out involves some sort of script problem, but that doesn't make a lot of sense considering he wrote the thing. Whatever. I'm sure it's bigger than that.
Damon's busy schedule is probably the real culprit. Since this is a Warner Brothers joint, and we know how much they love Ben Affleck, what are the chances he steps in to help out his buddy?
