Summary
- Tom Holland admits he has never seen the iconic film The Matrix.
- Matt Damon chose The Matrix as his GOAT movie he wishes he was in.
- Edward Norton's Primal Fear role inspired Good Will Hunting's script.
During a promotional event for Christopher Nolan's latest film, actors Matt Damon and Tom Holland engaged in a "GOAT Talk" segment. Damon expressed shock when Holland confessed he had never seen the iconic 1999 science fiction film "The Matrix."
Damon, who named "The Matrix" as his "Greatest Of All Time" movie he wishes he had been a part of, emphasized Keanu Reeves's iconic role. He also cited Nolan's "Inception" as another remarkable film. Holland later revealed his own "GOAT" movie choice: the 1996 thriller "Primal Fear," specifically coveting Edward Norton's breakout performance.
Holland's admiration for Norton's work in "Primal Fear" resonated deeply with Damon. He shared that seeing Norton's phenomenal performance in that film significantly motivated him and Ben Affleck to diligently write their Oscar-winning screenplay for "Good Will Hunting" in 1998, seeking a similar breakthrough opportunity for unknown actors.
