Matt doesn’t have that natural-born depression vibe like Casey. He wouldn’t have been able to convey that level of grief

Are we just ignoring Damon turning down Avatar with points on profit that would have made him a billionaire?

Casey was 100% the guy for this role over Damon. I’m not even real sure what Damon needs to be doing at this point. He seems very intent on doing historical drama…but he just doesn’t remotely fit the feeling. Worried about the Odyssey.

Matt Damon was supposed to direct and John Krasinski to star. Matt Damon was never supposed to star because he knew he was too old.

Matt Damon comes off aloof, it’s complicated his acting career.

Damon reached his peak in The Talented Mr. Ripley and has yet to achieve something similar….

No one could have present eternal sadness like Casey. Pretty certain Matt would have not done well in this.

Casey Affleck in Manchester might be the single best hyper-realism acting performance ever put to film.

Matt never intended on playing the role. He want John krazinski, and Matt directs. Couldn’t get John so he went with Casey

I don’t think i could watch that movie a second time. That’s how real Casey’s emotions felt to me. I’m glad he got to play that role.

Bro. This is a great what if but it has to be after what if he took Avatar. What does that movie look like? Where is his career with avatar? What are the sequels look like? But this is a great what if because it would be a different movie.

Matt Damon doing this in the early 2000’s would be very interesting forsure

Casey was perfect and I’m not sure it works as well with Damon which makes me feel crazy writing that but I genuinely believe it.
