We saw it as a story of perspective, and so Ben and I wrote the male perspectives and Nicole wrote the female perspective.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Matt previously admitted they have become more efficient at writing since their first attempt.<\/p>\n<p>He told &lsquo;Entertainment Tonight&rsquo;: &ldquo;I think that writing process for &lsquo;Good Will Hunting&rsquo; was so inefficient.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;You know, because we didn&rsquo;t really understand structure so we wrote thousands of pages. &#8230; We&rsquo;d be like, &lsquo;Well, what if this happened?,&rsquo; and then we&rsquo;d just write different scenes. So, we had all these kind of disparate scenes and then we kind of tried to jam them together into something that looked like a movie.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But this time around, you know, it&rsquo;s a story about perspective. So, there are two knights and then there&rsquo;s the Lady Marguerite. So Ben and I wrote the male perspectives and Nicole Holofcener wrote the female perspective. That&rsquo;s kind of the architecture of that movie.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And I think we just found that having made &#8230; like, making movies for 30 years, we actually learned something about structure along the way and the process went along a lot faster.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;And so I think we&rsquo;ll write a lot more in the future just because it didn&rsquo;t turn out to be as time consuming as we thought. It was actually a lot of fun.&rdquo; (Contactmusic)<\/p>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matt Damon discusses Ben Affleck reunion<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[688],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-237243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-infotainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=237243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/237243\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=237243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=237243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nagalandpost.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=237243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
