Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are ready to celebrate another significant milestone in their careers as they unveil the teaser for their upcoming movie RIP. The two longtime friends and collaborators took to the stage at the 2025 Next on Netflix Special Presentation event on January 29th, where Affleck presented the first trailer for the highly anticipated thriller.
Affleck, 52, appeared excited as he stepped out in a cream long coat over a white shirt and grey waistcoat, joining Damon for the event. The two were photographed by fans, sharing a candid moment at the gathering.
During the event, Affleck shared some details about the film, describing it as a deep dive into the lengths people will go for money. “This movie takes a look at the things people will do for money,” said the Good Will Hunting actor. The film is produced by Affleck and Damon’s company, Artists Equity, and is shaping up to be an intense ride that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
Affleck also celebrated the milestone with Damon, revealing that RIP marks the seventh collaboration between the two friends and their company. “It’s really in a lot of ways the most important for us because we’ve found some really exciting partners who are really interested in not just what has been but what could be at Netflix,” Affleck explained. He added that RIP embodies the kind of film that Artists Equity is passionate about producing.
This event comes on the heels of a challenging few weeks for Affleck, who had to evacuate his Los Angeles home earlier this month due to the Palisades wildfires. Despite the tough circumstances, the actor appeared in good spirits at the event, celebrating another career achievement with his longtime friend and collaborator.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of RIP, as Affleck and Damon’s latest venture promises to deliver the kind of thrilling, thought-provoking storytelling that has long been their signature.
