The latest buzz is that Matt Damon is set to play the role of “Bill Baker an American oil-rig roughneck from Oklahoma” in the movie Stillwater. The title sounds fascinating, and it is a beautiful synopsis based on “universal themes of connection and finding for truth” stated by David Linde Participant Media CEO.
The story revolves around a rig worker in an oil company fighting to free his daughter (played by Abigail Breslin) from a French prison. The movie is set to go on floors this month and the release date is yet to be announced.

He faces various problems like communication barriers, cultural issues, and intricate legal systems. So, Bill takes it as his own mission to set his daughter free. During this progression, he befriends a French woman and her daughter and develops a new bonding which helps him feel a “larger sense of belonging in the world” as per reports.
