But although it looked in October he might finally make the leap to hoisting a megaphone by having an untitled drama for Warner Bros., the Hollywood Reporter presently has it that Damon has made the decision to ditch that job.He's still likely to star within the movie, that is covered with some secrecy but apparently concentrates on a salesperson who arrives in a tiny town and finds his existence transformed in unpredicted ways. Damon cooked in the idea alongside McSweeney's overlord/In Which The Wild Situations Are author Dork Eggers and also the Office's John Krasinski coupled with written the script with Krasinski, who's also because of have a role.But as they had meant to shepherd it towards the screen themself, it appears that arranging issues (likely associated with reshoots on District 9 director Neill Blomkamp's Elysium) have stored him from having the ability to prepare correctly.
