Matt Damon Set to Direct & Star Opposite John Krasinski

Matt Damon will direct a film for Warner Brothers, co-written with The Office’s John Krasinski. The untitled project is based on a script developed by Krasinski and Dave Eggers titled Father Daughter Time: A Tale of Robbery and Eskimo Kisses.

As Deadline reports, the film’s theme is being compared to that of Erin Brockovich. Damon and Krasinski will also star in the film.

To tide you over until then, fellow J-Kras fans, Krasinski will next appear in The Muppets, slated for release next month. Matt Damon will keep busy as well, with several movies either filming or in post-production. He’s also set to begin filming Liberace aside Michael Douglas.
