Matt Damon -- I"m All About Diversity ... My Show Took Me Out of Context
Z STAFF
breaking news
Matt Damon is apologizing for his comments about diversity in Hollywood, and he’s blaming “Project Greenlight“ – the show HE produces — for editing down his comments and making him seem insensitive.
Damon says, “I believe deeply that there need to be more diverse filmmakers making movies. I want every young person watching “Project Greenlight” to believe that filmmaking is a viable form of creative expression for them too.”
He also says the comment he made to Effie Brown — that films need diverse actors, and not necessarily directors and producers — were taken out of context.
“My comments were part of a much broader conversation about diversity in Hollywood and the fundamental nature of “Project Greenlight” which did not make the show. I am sorry that they offended some people, but, at the very least, I am happy that they started a conversation about diversity in Hollywood.”
It’s just a little odd, since Matt is an executive producer of ‘Greenlight.’ You’d think he’d have a say in how he gets edited.

Matt Damon -- Who Needs Racial Diversity Behind the Camera? (VIDEO)
Z STAFF
Matt Damon says diversity is a good thing to see on the big screen, but it’s not really necessary in movie board rooms … and that has some black filmmakers really pissed off.
On Sunday’s episode of “Project Greenlight” — the show where he and Ben Affleck help guide would-be movie makers into making flicks — Matt and black filmmaker Effie Brown were discussing a script in which a black prostitute was featured.
Effie said it was important to have diversity among the filmmakers so the character could be accurately and sensitively portrayed. Matt scoffed, saying diversity should only go so far.
He’s getting hammered on Twitter, with some saying his white privilege was showing.
