As a lifelong Bostonian with a deep affection for all things Massachusetts, I am beyond thrilled about the upcoming film “The Instigators.” The combination of Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, and Rob Gronkowski is an unbeatable trio that promises to deliver a rollercoaster ride of laughter, suspense, and undeniable Boston charm.
In a potential cinematic tribute to their hometown, Matt Damon and Casey Affleck could star in the most distinctively Boston movie yet. Their 2024 film finds them reunited for another crime caper, reminiscent of their heist escapades in Ocean’s Eleven. The film, titled The Instigators, seems to encapsulate all the elements you’d expect from a Massachusetts production: Fenway Park, Dunkin’ Donuts product placement, and authentic East Coast accents. To some, it might be unexpected that ex-New England Patriots player Rob Gronkowski would feature in this movie, but given the film’s emphasis on Boston roots, his presence fits right in.
In the movie “80 for Brady,” Gronk displayed his comedic side, and his performance at “The Roast of Tom Brady” showed he was fully dedicated to a humorous role. Now, it seems almost certain that filmmakers are eager to capitalize on this talent by featuring him in major film productions.
Matt Damon shared with ET that the ex-tight end enjoyed himself during filming, despite his brief stint. He further mentioned that Gronk’s unique sense of humor made him an ideal choice for The Instigators, and Matt hopes viewers will find his scene amusing as the creative team did. Notably, the Boston-centric aspect adds to the show’s appeal, which is part of its endearing charm.
It’s possible that Gronk took a greater delight in filming than Damon and Affleck anticipated. The football star had expected to have a larger role, and felt let down when he appeared just briefly. However, Casey Affleck confirmed on Andy Cohen’s Sirius XM show that Rob Gronkowski filmed everything as written for him, and all of his scenes made it into the final cut. He elaborated:
As a gamer putting myself in the shoes of Gronk, I can’t help but feel he was disappointed to have had just a single scene in the game. Granted, I can only imagine what a more extensive role could have looked like.
Cohen wondered if the sequence had been trimmed during the movie’s final cut, yet Affleck reassured the talk show host by stating they utilized all available footage showcasing the renowned sports figure. In simpler terms, he explained that every piece of footage featuring the famous athlete was included in the film.
It seems to me that he enjoyed the film greatly and felt positively about it, indicating a strong desire to be part of it more often. Similarly, if given the chance, I’d love to participate more in the NFL – I hope you understand my sentiment.
As a longtime fan of both Rob Gronkowski and Ben Affleck, I must say that I am absolutely thrilled about Gronk’s role in “The Instigators.” Having followed his career as a professional football player and watching him bring laughter to millions as a guest on Saturday Night Live, it comes as no surprise to me that he would excel in a comedic role. On the other hand, I must admit that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s foray into comedy is something new for me, given their recent work in serious dramas. But as someone who grew up in Boston, I have seen these two talented actors tackle a wide range of roles with ease, from the gritty streets of Southie to the halls of power in Washington D.C. So, while it may be different from what we’re used to seeing from them, I have no doubt that their comedic chops will shine brightly in “The Instigators.” I can’t wait to see these talented individuals come together for a film that promises to be both humorous and refreshing.
As a gaming enthusiast speaking, here’s my take: In 2019, I hung up my cleats after departing from the Patriots, but football called me back the following year when I joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, in 2022, I decided to retire once more. Despite wrapping up my career down in Florida, Gronk remains deeply rooted in his New England days, making him an ideal Massachusetts figurehead for this film – particularly one spearheaded by Casey Affleck and Matt Damon.
