00:44However, it was Luciana who truly stole the show.
00:48She donned a simple yet stunning white dress, complemented by a bold red lip that made her
00:53look like a movie star herself.
00:55Her ensemble was completed with gold hoop earrings, a black YSL clutch, black heels,
01:01and her long, wavy hair pulled back into a ponytail.

01:28The Instigators, a heist film with a twist.
01:31The Instigators, slated for release on August 9 on Apple TV, follows a heist gone wrong.
01:38It stars Matt Damon and Casey Affleck as two robbers on the run to avoid capture.
01:43The film, directed by Doug Liman, who previously directed Matt in The Bourne Identity, promises
01:49to be a fresh take on the heist genre.
01:52Liman described it as the,
01:54Anti-Ocean's Eleven movie in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, highlighting
01:59its subversion of genre expectations.
02:02A family collaboration.
02:04In an interesting twist, it was Luciana Barroso who played a pivotal role in bringing The
02:08Instigators to life.
02:10Matt shared with ET how Luciana came to produce the project.
02:14Initially, Matt had turned down the script, but co-star Casey Affleck, recognizing its
02:20potential, brought it to Luciana.
02:23She fell in love with the script and decided to take on the challenge of producing it.
02:27Casey likes saying she is the smart one in the couple, and he's not wrong, Matt said,
02:33beaming with pride.

02:48This is the first time we ever kind of codified it, he said.

02:56Despite her significant contributions, she was initially reluctant to take credit.
03:02She didn't even want to take the credit.
03:04She was there every day, she was doing all this work on the script, and then she was
03:09like, nah, I don't want to take the credit, Matt revealed.
03:13However, her dedication did not go unnoticed.
03:17The other producers on the movie, at the end of the movie, and I had nothing to do
03:21with it, they came of their own volition and said, if you're not taking credit, we're
03:26not taking credit.
03:28It was very sweet.
03:30She succumbed and took the credit.

04:26independence.
04:27Isabella, his eldest biological daughter, is known to be his toughest critic.
04:33If the reviews come out and they're terrible, then she'll watch it.
