Matt Damon tells the best behind the scenes stuff.

I love the fact that Michael Jordan immediately said Viola Davis. His judgement paid off, she was phenomenal.

[dragonfly]

I like that they care enough to honor Mike's choice for who to play his mother

[teknomax]

I love how Matt and Ben are still these close friends after all these years

Viola Davis is intense, a class act & Jordan knows it ❤️!

Jordan was unreal for 90 kids in Chicago OMG were we spoiled the whole city can’t even put in words

[jasonedwards]

So I'm guessing Viola Davis got paid very well to do this movie since its production depended on her signing on!

Matt tells the best stories. He has a specific flow about it.

We saw the movie and are happy to report that it's really well made and entertaining. Excellent acting all around and the screenplay is sharp.

"What's more important that we get right first?" If only Disney said this about Star Wars. They could have made 100 times more money. Maybe even 1000 times.

Ben ain't wrong there... viola Davis or nothing.

[SlimPAUL]

Mike wore number 12 for one game in the 80’s.

[barryprince]

Pretending like that wasn’t intentional lol

[chipsneak]

Jimmy applauded Matt for knowing the date.

[yikes]

This is the movie I've been waiting for. The cast is phenomenal and so is the subject matter, being into numbers I got chills when he spoke of 4-5-23 ugh 😩 I can't wait to see it.

[Reading]

I look forward to watching it, cheers to all your hard work!

[timherrera]
