  • Casey Affleck To Stephen Colbert: “You Wanna Fight Me?”

    Casey Affleck and Stephen Colbert almost came to fisticuffs during a super awkward interview.

    Stephen Colbert started things off saying, “Thanks for dressing up.”

    He then said Casey Affleck looked like a street corner Jesus.

    Colbert tried to smooth things over, saying, “I’m not saying you don’t look good. It is just some playful ribbing.”

    But, it seemed to spiral downward until they watched a clip of Casey Affleck’s new movie that he was there to promote, Triple 9.

    After a little while, Colbert said to Casey Affleck, “We should probably end up fighting at the end of this. It feels like this is where this is going.”

    The weird thing is, it seemed you could never tell whether or not each of them was taking the remarks of the other very seriously.

    The interview was vaguely reminiscent of the one given by Casey Affleck’s brother-in-law, Joaquin Phoenix, to David Letterman on the very same stage back in 2009. Of course, that interview was later revealed to be part of a documentary by Casey Affleck called I’m Still Here.

    Of course, Casey Affleck’s wasn’t nearly as awkward. But, it wasn’t staged either.

    Yikes.

    Who would your money be on in a match between Stephen Colbert and Casey Affleck?

  • Matt Damon Shooting New Film in Massachusetts

    Matt Damon is back in Massachusetts. This time’s the Bourne actor is producing a new film on the North Shore. Several areas in Beverly, Massachusetts served as the backdrop for filming Manchester-By-The-Sea, which stars Casey Affleck.

    The Salem News reports that some of the filming will actually take place in Manchester-By-The-Sea, as well as in Gloucester and Salem. Last week saw several spots in Beverly getting the Hollywood treatment.

    On Tuesday, three spots in Beverly were featured in the filming. Cast and crew were spotted in the Central Cemetery on Hale Street, along Lothrop Street by Washington Street, and inside a funeral home on Cabot Street.

    The film is about Lee Chandler, who is played by Casey Affleck, as he is made the legal guardian of his nephew following the sudden death of his brother Joe, who is played by Kyle Chandler. Lee is then forced to deal with a tragic past that separated him from his wife Randi, who is played by Michelle Williams, and the community in which he was born and raised.

    Matt Damon is, of course, an actor–as well as a screenwriter and producer–from Cambridge, Massachusetts. He grew up alongside Cambridge native Ben Affleck, and the two got their start in the film industry in Good Will Hunting, in which they starred along with the late Robin Williams. Neither Ben Affleck nor Matt Damon has ever lost sight of their roots, and return to Massachusetts often–for work and for play.

    Matt Damon will no doubt be spotted in the aforementioned Massachusetts towns for the next couple of weeks. Filming is expected to wrap some time in early April.
