Here are the first-look images from Doug Liman’s The Instigators’.
Damon plays Rory, a desperate father who reluctantly starts working with Cobby (Affleck). Together, they try to pull off a robbery to get their hands on the illegal money from a corrupted politician.
Affleck himself has described the film as a story “about two strangers who are hired for a heist. They become frenemies and then become friends while Jack Harlow yells at us, Paul Walter Hauser insults us, Ving Rhames hunts us, and Hong Chau keeps us alive.”
Helmed by Doug Liman, The Instigators will run in selected theatres for a week from August 2, before arriving on the Apple TV+ streaming platform on August 9. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have co-produced the film, while Casey Affleck and Chuck Maclean have written it. Stay tuned for more updates.
