Matt Damon Pitches Terribly

Matt Damon broke down the hilarious pitching style he and Ben Affleck used when pitching movie ideas to big Hollywood studio executives early in their careers. To show how easy it is to make even the greatest stories in human history sound like terrible, uninspired schlock, Damon gave a mock pitch for Homer’s ancient epic The Odyssey. He joked that if you pitched it using standard Hollywood buzzwords, you'd frame it as: "Okay, so there’s this guy, right? He’s trying to get home from a business trip, but it takes him ten entire years because he keeps making terrible directions calls and getting lost on islands with giant monsters." Damon cracked up explaining how studio suits would instantly shoot down the ancient masterpiece, asking why the main character couldn't just build a better boat or avoid the giant cyclops entirely. Seeing Matt Damon use high-concept Hollywood pitch jargon to make Homer's The Odyssey sound like a flop box-office movie is pure gold. #mattdamon #benaffleck #theodyssey #hollywood #behindthescenes #funny #viral #funnymoments #shorts #comedy #interview #latenight #celebritystories
