Matt Damon and Ben Affleck adopt inclusivity rider
  • 6 years ago

Change is coming as Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are adopting inclusion riders for their production company Pearl Street.

The company is taking inspiration from Frances McDormand's Oscars speech by introducing the clause, which is aimed at promoting diversity among casting and crew memberships in all future deals.

Their company is following in the footsteps of 'Black Panther' star Michael B. Jordan, who last week announced he is adding an inclusion rider to all projects produced through his company Outlier Society Productions.

The changes come after 'Three Billboards’ star McDormand used her acceptance speech for Best Actress at the Academy Awards to urge filmmakers to include the clause in future contract requests.

The future looks bright!
