In response to Jeff Sneider, there’s a Good Will Looking reunion within the works, and it’s most likely not the mission you’ll count on. The phrase is that Gus Van Sant is in talks to direct a Hulk Hogan film specializing in the wrestler’s authorized battle in opposition to Gawker, with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon being eyed to star.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon acquired Charles Randolph’s screenplay for the Hulk Hogan mission by way of their Artists Fairness manufacturing banner. The mission, titled Killing Gawker, relies on Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue by Ryan Vacation. It’s mentioned to be in lively improvement.
In 2012, Gawker revealed a brief clip of a intercourse tape that includes Hogan, who shortly sued the corporate. By March 2016, Hogan was awarded $115 million in compensatory damages and $25 million in punitive damages, leaving Gawker to file for chapter simply three months later.
It’s essential to notice that Affleck and Damon are simply set to supply at the moment and are usually not connected to star, however rumours have been swirling that Affleck might play Hulk Hogan whereas Damon might play Peter Thiel, the billionaire entrepreneur who funded Hogan’s lawsuit in opposition to Gawker, allegedly in retaliation for Gawker outing him as homosexual years earlier. The potential casting feels… odd, however hell, I’d be down for it.
