Matt Damon says U2 was 'reluctant at first' to be involved in his Bosnian War documentary Kiss the Future: 'They didn't want the movie to be about them'


The star of classics such as Good Will Hunting, Saving Private Ryan and The Departed said that the band informed him that they did not want to be the focal point in the project.

Matt Damon, 53, says U2 was initially hesitant to take part in his new Paramount+ documentary Kiss the Future, which details the war in Bosnia, and the impact the stalwart band had on the area's citizens. Damon told the outlet he and Cicin-Sain sought to showcase 'these incredible Sarajevan people and their relationship to [U2's] music.' Cicin-Sain told the outlet that he decided to make the documentary following a concert in Sarajevo in 2017 commemorating the 20th anniversary of their 1997 show.
