Los Angeles, CA – Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are spreading holiday cheer by giving fans an early Christmas present: a teaser trailer for their upcoming Netflix crime thriller, “The Rip.” The dynamic duo, known for their long-standing collaboration and friendship, presented the teaser in a short video uploaded to Netflix’s YouTube channel.

In the video, Affleck and Damon playfully introduce the teaser as a holiday gift. Damon, holding a football, wishes everyone happy holidays, while Affleck, holding a wrapped present, teases “something special.” Damon reveals that the gift is “never-before-seen footage from ‘The Rip,'” to which Affleck quips, “And I was just gonna give them socks.”

“The Rip,” directed by Joe Carnahan, boasts a star-studded cast including Affleck, Damon, Sasha Calle, Scott Adkins, Teyana Taylor, and Steven Yeun. The film centers around a group of Miami cops who stumble upon a massive stash of cash, leading to suspicion, betrayal, and dangerous consequences as others learn about their find. The synopsis promises a tense and gripping story where trust frays and loyalties are tested.

This marks another collaboration for Affleck and Damon, both as actors and producers through their company, Artists Equity. Their previous project, “Air” (2023), was a critical and commercial success. A full trailer for “The Rip” was released in September and has already garnered over 5.7 million views on YouTube.
