Did Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Really Write the Final Screenplay for Good Will Hunting?
The 1997 film "Good Will Hunting" is a beloved classic that won two Oscars for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Robin Williams). The screenplay was credited to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, but rumors have persisted that they received substantial help from other writers.
There is some evidence to support these rumors. In 1994, screenwriter William Goldman published a book titled "Adventures in the Screen Trade," in which he claimed that he had been hired to rewrite the "Good Will Hunting" screenplay. Goldman alleged that the original script by Affleck and Damon was "a mess."
However, Affleck and Damon have consistently denied Goldman's claims. In a 2013 interview, Damon said, "I don't know why he said that. It's just not true." Affleck has also stated that he and Damon wrote the majority of the final screenplay.
So, who really wrote the "Good Will Hunting" screenplay? The truth is likely a mix of both accounts. It is possible that Goldman did some rewriting, but it is also clear that Affleck and Damon were the primary writers.
