Matt Damon<\/strong><\/a> and Ben Affleck<\/strong><\/a> won’t be bringing part of Hulk Hogan<\/strong><\/a>‘s life to the big screen after all … though the decision has nothing to do with his recent tragic passing.<\/p>\n

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the stars’ production company, Artists Equity, isn’t moving forward with the project, which hasn’t been in development for some time.<\/p>\n

We’re told the decision was made a while ago — long before Hulk’s passing<\/strong><\/a> — so, the two aren’t related to it whatsoever.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s unclear why they decided to pull the plug on the film.<\/p>\n

ICYMI … Ben and Matt previously planned on making a biopic about the infamous video of Hulk Hogan having sex with his friend’s wife — which Gawker later released — a video that included a racial epithet.<\/p>\n

Hulk wasn’t involved in the movie project — and, he wasn’t interested in getting involved either, unlike<\/strong><\/a> his former pal Bubba the Love Sponge<\/strong><\/a>, whose wife also starred in the NSFW tape — but, sources close to him told us he’d pursue legal action<\/strong><\/a> if they crossed a line.<\/p>\n

This all came out almost a year before Hulk’s passing last week … when paramedics responded to his Florida home and were spotted on the street giving him chest compressions on the way to the ambulance.<\/p>\n

Hogan was pronounced dead at the hospital<\/strong><\/a>, and numerous friends and fans shared tributes to him on social media.<\/p>\n

A Hulk biopic may come out one day … but, it won’t be coming from Ben and Matt anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ben Affleck & Matt Damon Hulk Hogan Flick Not Happening … Decision Made Way Before Wrestler’s Death Published…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305058,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3940],"tags":[4080,77,12,79,6924,18649,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-305057","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-sports-news","13":"tag-tmz-sports","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114944602748360002","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
