Damon to Lead Daniels’ Climate-Time Travel Drama at Universal

Matt Damon is in talks to star in a secretive new film from Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (the Daniels) for Universal, their first project since Everything Everywhere All at Once. After Ryan Gosling (and briefly Jack Black) were considered but could not fit the schedule due to a California tax-credit deadline, Damon stepped in to headline. The story reportedly blends global warming, time travel, and a two-timeline structure (1980s and present day) with teen leads in the 1980s timeline; production is set to begin in LA this summer as the team finalizes casting.
