It’s a full circle moment for Matt Damon. 26 years after the premiere of Good Will Hunting, which was the Affleck brothers and Damon’s first major trio film, the boys are back in town.
These Dunkin enthusiasts turned Oscar-winners were spotted filming at City Hall Plaza since December 14. Earlier this year, they were hanging around the North End and other areas of Boston. Their new film, “The Instigators,” operating under the working title “Quincy” filmed both interior and exterior scenes at Bova’s Bakery in the North End in March 2023.
It was the first time for Bova’s Bakery, the North End’s 24-hour bakery, to close its doors in 97 years.
“The film follows two thieves who must go on the run with the help of one of their therapists after a robbery goes awry,” according to Production List.
The film is produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s new production company, Artists’ Equity, which released its first film, “Air” on April 5. “The Instigators” is set to release sometime in 2024.
