Ben Affleck’s Explosive Comeback in Netflix’s Gripping New Thriller ‘Animals’!

by

Matt Damon is once again taking center stage in a brand new Netflix movie titled ““, marking his return to acting. A sneak peek at the upcoming film has been shared with fans, offering a first glimpse into this intriguing political thriller. This project is one of two films Damon is starring in and producing through Artists Equity, the company he co-owns with his long-term collaborator, Matt Damon. It’s also the fourth film he’s involved with on Netflix. Filming commenced in March of this year, but fresh photos taken at the LA River set hint at the intense action scenes that await us in this thriller, as reported by What’s On Netflix.

Originally, Matt Damon was planned to co-star with Ben Affleck in a movie titled “Animals,” but it’s believed scheduling issues hindered their collaboration. Currently, Damon is portraying Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, an adaptation of the ancient Greek poem “The Odyssey.” Instead of battling through the sewers of Los Angeles, Damon will be traversing from Troy to Ithaca in sandals made of leather. As he delves into more dramatic roles, Affleck has remained committed to action-packed films over the past 25 years, and “Animals” appears to be another noteworthy addition to his repertoire.

The official logline of the film reads:

In this drama, when Milo Bradford’s son (Affleck) gets kidnapped, he and his spouse (Washington) find themselves in a race against time to gather the ransom. With their funds depleted due to the election campaign, they are compelled to take decisive action, revealing aspects of themselves they hadn’t planned on revealing. Gillian Anderson portrays a problem solver, while Steven Yeun assumes the role of Bradford’s campaign manager.

Los Angeles Is The City of Action

There’s a certain enchantment in action movies filmed in Los Angeles. The vast car culture and the former golden hue of high-pressure sodium streetlights give the cool night scenes an electric tension as cops and criminals race against time, each trying to outsmart the other. Movies like “Heat,” “Drive,” “Training Day,” “Boyz n the Hood,” and “To Live and Die in LA” all manage to convey something special about the resilience that lies beneath the polished facade of LA. A quick glance at the set photos for “Animals” reveals a mix of shotguns, duffel bags, cigarettes, and storm tunnels – essential elements in crafting an LA-set thriller.

The movie about Animals will stop being produced on the 16th of April, but as of now, there’s no specified release date. The film features acting talents like Gillian Anderson, Steven Yeun, Kerry Washington, Ray Fisher, and Luis Gerardo Méndez in its star-studded cast.
