I'm in the homeland :blessed: until Friday so I won't be able to catch this movie right away but

1. Neil either that the musicians could better capture the energy of the character or it was just a publicity stunt. Getting a rapper like Eminem would have created buzz for his 30 million dollar movie. Bang for the buck.

2. The budget went to $100 million because of Damon.

3. Matt Damon is humble as fun admitting that 75% of the roles he gets are from other people passing.

after peeping the flick I think Em could've pulled it off, the role didn't require much range

that's another major role he turned down after rejecting the Christian Bale part in The Fighter
