It has been 22 years since Damon and Liman worked together, and theInterstellaractor is shocked by that fact. In an interview withEntertainment Weekly, the actor revealed that Liman is one of the finest directors out there.
I absolutely love working with Doug. I can’t believe it took us 20 years to find something else to do together. Doug is one of the most creatively tenacious people I’ve ever met.
He further continued,
He just won’t stop until the movie is as good as it can be, and that is the best possible thing you can feel from a director. I trust him completely.
Well, Matt Damon might indeed be right about that fact since most of the director’s films have gone on to earn millions at the global box office. Fans pray that his upcoming filmThe Instigatorswill not be any different.
