Whitesell: I read it over the weekend and I was blown away. Usually when you get a script from actors you donвЂ™t have high expectations.Дamon: I didnвЂ™t realize the stereotype at the time was that every actor has a screenplay. Patrick Whitesell (agent): Matt had talked about the script he was writing with Ben. The script was completed in 1994, at which point Damon and Affleck approached their agent, who started shopping it around. Moore: They wrote a great script, and I read it and was like, вЂњThis is one of the best scripts I have ever read, and I would love to produce it.вЂќ The three of us agreed we would try to get it made. It was kind of hopelessly naive and probably really embarrassing in that respect. At the time we imagined the professor and the shrink would be Morgan Freeman and De Niro, so weвЂ™d do our imitations of Freeman and De Niro. We would improvise and drink like six or twelve beers or whatever and record it with a tape recorder. And it had a very Beverly Hills Cop, Midnight Run sensibility, where the kids from Boston were giving the NSA the slip all the time. So I said, вЂњSure, IвЂ™ll read the script.вЂќДamon: It was the first thing we woke up thinking about and the last thing we thought about before going to bed.ДЄffleck: We came up with this idea of the brilliant kid and his townie friends, where he was special and the government wanted to get their mitts on him. They said they had this script theyвЂ™d been working on. And I always liked Matt, because weвЂ™d met in Cambridge. Д¬hris Moore (producer): We had been working on Glory Daze-thatвЂ™s how I met Ben.

IвЂ™m not sure what it is or where to go.вЂќ So we started writing it sort of back and forth.Дamon: The only scene that survived from that document-it survived verbatim, actually-is the first time that I meet Robin.

So I handed the professor at the end of the semester a 40-some-odd-page document, and said, вЂњLook, I might have failed your class, but it is the first act of something longer.вЂќДЄnthony Kubiak (DamonвЂ™s professor at Harvard): The thing that they always say when you submit a script to an agent is that they read the first page and they read the middle, and they can tell if they want to continue. There was this playwriting class and the culmination of it was to write a one-act play, and I just started writing a movie. Matt Damon:В I was in my fifth year at Harvard, and I had a few electives left. that they connected with Chris Moore, a young Harvard alum who was just beginning to produce films.

Today, the movie is beloved from coast to coast, but nowhere more than right here in Boston.
