Hollywood actor Matt Damon has revealed the intriguing concept of his upcoming science fiction film, directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.

Speaking on The Dan Patrick Show, he said, "The way they pitched it to me was: if The Breakfast Club meets Inception meets an anime film meets an episode of The John Oliver Show that didn't get aired."

He added, "It's a really special project."
