Matt Damon to star in 'The Promised Land' anti-fracking movie

Matt Damon will star in “The Promised Land,” an anti-fracking movie set to begin filming later this month.
WME Agency, which represents Damon, confirmed that the “Good Will Hunting” star has signed on to the movie and co-wrote the film, and that it is, indeed, about hydraulic fracturing — the controversial practice of pumping a mixture of sand, water and chemicals into a well to break up rock and help extract natural gas.

Damon’s publicity firm, Viewpoint Inc. and PR representatives from Focus Features, did not immediately respond to requests for comment from POLITICO.
The IMDB page for the movie offers few details of the plot, only that “a salesman experiences life-changing events after arriving in a small town.”
The project also boasts some other big names.
John Krasinski (“The Office”) and Rosemarie DeWitt (“Mad Men,” “United States of Tara”) have signed on to the film. Director Gus Van Sant, who shot “Good Will Hunting,” “Milk” and “Finding Forrester,” has signed on to direct the film, which is in pre-production, according to IMDB.
