Ben Affleck and Matt Damon for many years are friends and collaborate in joint projects. In July of this year, Hollywood stars will present a new exclusive reality show "The Runner" ("Running").
The idea of reality "The Runner" in a sense embodies the ideas of the cult writers Robert Shekley and Stephen King. The main hero of the show will have to cross the unnoticed territory of the United States. In reserve he has 30 days. The obstacle is the fact that the whole country will observe and hunt behind him, as well as a team of specially selected persecutors.
The idea of his own television show called "The Runner" appeared in Afflek and Damon in the late 1990s. In 2001, the show was first launched into production on the ABC channel. But the project was closed in connection with the tragic events of September 11. Many years have passed, and Ben and Matt returned to their idea, braving a completely new youth format.
The production of the show began in May. On the air "The Runner" will appear in July 2016. The prize pool of the game is 1 million dollars. He will receive either running or pursuers. Conventional users whose tips will help the pursuers to catch the main character, will also receive cash prizes in On-Line mode.
The partnership of Damon and Affale began in 1997 from the release of the film "Umnitsa Will Hunting" directed by Gas Wang Senta. Damon and Affleck wrote the script of this Oskarone film and both starred in it.
