Damon is now set to work with director Alexander Payne who helmed the award-winning "Nebraska". Payne's new film is entitled "Downsizing" which is described as a social satire and revolves around a guy who “realizes he would have a better life if he were to shrink himself.” Payne co-wrote the film with his Sideways co-writer Jim Taylor.
Further plot details for the film are unknown for now, the "shrink himself" part is unclear if it means something that's a figure of speech, or something that will literally be having sci-fi elements. What is clear, though, is that the film is a “social satire” so it would not be too far off from his previous films "Nebraska" and "The Descendants", but may be closer to his other movie "Election".

Damon will next shoot Kenneth Lonergan’s drama "Manchester-By-The-Sea", after which he is set to lead Ridley Scott’s sci-fi picture "The Martian". Those two projects will be made back-to-back for Damon, and he’s also poised to reunite with Greengrass for another Bourne movie, though that picture probably won’t begin production until later next year. It’s unclear where "Downsizing" fits into Damon’s schedule, but it's possible that it might start filming sometime in the second quarter of 2015.
