Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are two of Hollywood’s lifelong friends. The two have worked in several movies together and now, they are planning on producing a television show.
Damon and Affleck are teaming together to bring a drama to SyFy, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The show, “Incorporated,” is billed as a “futuristic espionage thriller” set in a world in which corporations can wield unimaginable power. The focus of the show will revolve around one man who is working to take the corporations down.
The two actors and their production company Pearl Streeet Films will work with another team, brothers Alex and David Pastor, to bring their vision to life. The Pastor brothers, who have worked on “The Last Days” among other projects, will write the script, and Ted Humphrey (“The Good Wife”) will act as showrunner and executive producer through an overall deal with CBS Television Studios.
“Incorporated” is the first scripted cable project for Pearl Street. This show also backs up what SyFy has been planning on for their network; they have stated that they plan on giving more focus to scripted fare. This also means that SyFy will focus much less on bizarre low-grade fare like “Sharknado.”
