DAMON & AFFLECK MOVING FORWARD WITH ‘PEOPLE’Matt Damon and Ben Affleck met with HBO last week about making their planned miniseries adaptation of Howard Zinn’s PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES for the cable network. Damon and Affleck were previously set up to adapt HISTORY as a ten-hour epic for FOX, but this shorter version would be a two- or four-hour version focusing on a single chapter of the book, possibly The American Revolution, The Industrial Revolution, or The Civil War.
