Matt Damon is teaming up with Ford v. Ferrari director James Mangold for a new film project titled The Force, which is being produced by Disney’s 20th Century Studios.

The Force centers on corrupt NYPD officers with Damon attached to play detective Denny Malone, “who runs an elite crime fighting squad but becomes ensnared in a corruption scandal.” This is said to be similar to the role he played in Martin Scorsese’s The Departed.

Fox picked up the right to this project back in 2016, and Ridley Scott is attached to produce. David Mamet (Ronin, Hannibal) wrote the first script, and Scott Frank (Logan, The Wolverine) has been working on the most recent version of that script.

Mangold has been on a roll with making great movies. Ford v Ferrari was one of my favorites of 2019, and it’s great to see Damon and Mangold teaming up again for a new project.
