Matt Damon and Ben Affleck reprised the roles that made them famous onstage in New York on Friday night, with a surprise appearance in a one-off live reading of the screenplay of Good Will Hunting. Today, they occupy numbers three (Damon) and six (Affleck) on the 2016 Forbes list of the world’s highest-paid male actors. The cast list was not released in advance, allowing Krasinski a moment of pure showmanship before the reading began. Introducing the event, Krasinski made the case for Good Will Hunting as a modern American classic. Which, come to think of it, doesn’t sound a bad template for the Batman film Affleck is currently writing.
