Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s new movie just filmed in N.J.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon — perfect together, some might say.
Kind of like New Jersey and you.
As it happens, a new movie from the Oscar winners, who famously hail from Massachusetts, filmed recently in the Garden State.
And no, it wasn’t “Dogma 2″ (which is currently gestating in the mind of Kevin Smith).
It was Affleck and Damon’s upcoming crime thriller, “RIP,” the New Jersey Motion Picture and Television Commission tells NJ Advance Media.
Damon and Affleck are starring in and producing the film, written and directed by Joe Carnahan (”Narc,” “Smokin’ Aces”). Jersey scenes wrapped this week and production is ongoing.
The movie and its cast were spotted in Bayonne, and Damon in Hoboken. The production also filmed in Moonachie.
“RIP” also stars Teyana Taylor (”A Thousand and One” and the upcoming Dionne Warwick biopic); Sasha Calle (”The Flash”); Lina Esco (”S.W.A.T.” and “Free the Nipple”); Catalina Sandino Moreno (”Maria Full of Grace,” “Silent Night”); Nestor Carbonell (”The Dark Knight Rises”); Kyle Chandler (”Manchester by the Sea”); and Scott Adkins (”John Wick: Chapter 4″).
In July, Deadline reported that Netflix had snatched up “RIP.”
Per Variety, the movie is about a bunch of cops in Miami who find millions of dollars in a stash house. Logline: “As outside forces learn about the size of the seizure, everything for the team is called into question — including who they can rely on.”
The first film from Affleck and Damon’s Artists Equity production company was “Air” (2023), from Amazon.
They also produced the Cillian Murphy movie “Small Things Like These,” now in theaters.
December brings the release of their film “Unstoppable” starring Jharrel Jerome and Jennifer Lopez, Affleck’s ex. That movie, also starring Union City’s Bobby Cannavale as well as Michael Peña and Don Cheadle, is streaming on Amazon Jan. 16.
Affleck and Damon won an Oscar for best original screenplay for “Good Will Hunting” (1997), and Affleck won a second Oscar for his film “Argo,” which was named best picture in 2013.
