Matt Damon might be feeling like he is reliving the film, just this time he isn’t the one with the responsibility to find the cure. The actor in a recent interview with SPIN 1038, revealed that he isn’t surprised at all. He said that it wasn’t wise to have suggested that one could have predicted a pandemic. He said all one has to do is look back at the 2011 release Contagion.
