At a WGA seminar in 2003,
William Goldman
denied the persistent rumor that he was the actual writer of Good Will Hunting: "I would love to say that I wrote it. Here is the truth. In my obit it will say that I wrote it. People dont want to think those two cute guys wrote it. What happened was, they had the script. It was their script. They gave it to Rob Reiner to read, and there was a great deal of stuff in the script dealing with the F.B.I. trying to use
Matt Damon
for spy work because he was so brilliant in math. Rob said, "Get rid of it." They then sent them in to see me for a day - I met with them in New York - and all I said to them was, "Robs right. Get rid of the F.B.I. stuff. Go with the family, go with Boston, go with all that wonderful stuff." And they did. I think people refuse to admit it because their careers have been so far from writing, and I think its too bad. Ill tell you who wrote a marvelous script once,
Sylvester Stallone
. Rockys a marvelous script. God, read it, its wonderful. Its just got marvelous stuff. And then he stopped suddenly because its easier being a movie star and making all that money than going in your pit and writing a script. But I did not write Good Will Hunting, alas. I would not have written the "Its not your fault" scene. Im going to assume that 148 percent of the people in this room have seen a therapist. I certainly have, for a long time. Hollywood always has this idea that its this shrink with only one patient. I mean, that scene with
Robin Williams
gushing and
Matt Damon
and theyre hugging, "Its not your fault, its not your fault." I thought, Oh God, Freud is so agonized over this scene. But Hollywood tends to do that with therapists." As of 2009, Matt Damon and
Ben Affleck
have both co-written one other script each, although not with each other; Damon co-wrote
Gerry
with
Gus Van Sant
and Bens brother
Casey Affleck
, and Ben Affleck directed and co-wrote (with his childhood friend
Aaron Stockard
) the script for
Gone Baby Gone
.
