MATT DAMON TALKS TEARING UP AT PREMIERE: Matt Damon explained that he felt “overwhelmed” at the Cannes premiere for Stillwater. Speaking alongside writer and director Tom McCarthy, he said: “I was a little overwhelmed last night. I’m really glad we’re here this year. We’ll look back and remember launching the film out of Covid. To be in a room with 1,000 other people who are strangers but who are part of the same community because we love the same thing was such a great reminder of why we do this.” Stillwater also stars Abigail Breslin, Camille Cottin and Lilou Siauvaud; Walker plays an oil worker who travels to France to help his daughter who is in prison for a murder she didn’t commit.
