When Matt Damon signed on to Good Will Hunting, the actor/writer made a vow to keep not only the “Good,” but the pride in every single movie that he attached his name to, and he hasn’t failed himself since. 

His latest project, The Promised Land, encompasses exactly what it is that Matt promised to do with all his movies: Evoke conversation.

In The Promised Land, Matt plays Steve Butler, a salesman for a natural gas company who experiences life-changing events after arriving in a small town where his corporation wants to tap into the available resources.

GlobalGrind’s Ben Lyons had the opportunity to chat with the actor and writer of the new film to talk about his legacy, and what inspired him to make The Promised Land.
