RIP

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck won't be bringing part of Hulk Hogan's life to the big screen after all ... though the decision has nothing to do with his recent tragic passing.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the stars' production company, Artists Equity, isn't moving forward with the project, which hasn't been in development for some time.

We're told the decision was made a while ago -- long before Hulk's passing -- so, the two aren't related to it whatsoever.

Midtown Manhattan descended into panic on July 28 when a gunman entered 345 Park Avenue and began firing at various individuals, including an off-duty police officer and a security guard.

One of the people caught up in the harrowing attack was Wesley LePatner, who was confirmed dead when the dust settled.

We're going to check out the background of the victim of the unfortunate incident and see how her colleagues and families have reacted to her passing.

LePatner, who held a degree in History from Yale University, served as the Senior Managing Director of Blackstone, an alternative assets management fund.

The executive also acted as the Global Head of Core+ Real Estate and the the Chief Executive Officer of Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, which carried a $53 billion net asset value, according to Fortune.

LePatner spoke about her work on Core+ in a 2022 Business Insider profile, where she expressed she'd faced "all the challenges one could imagine when building a multibillion-dollar business."

Prior to joining Blackstone, LePatner began her career at Goldman Sachs, where she spent over a decade working in its real estate division.

Blackstone issued a statement following the executive's passing in which she was described as "deeply respected within our firm."

In addition to her work in Blackstone's real estate sector, LePatner was the head of the company's Women's Initiative, which served to develop programs focused on gender inclusion within the firm.

The executive had plenty of other interests, and she was appointed as a trustee of the Metropolitan Museum Of Art in early 2025.

The Met's CEO, Max Hollein, provided Business Insider with a statement about LePatner's death, describing her as "a person of deep intellect and warmth."

The businesswoman also served on the board of the The Abraham Joshua Heschel School, as well as the UJA-Federation of New York.

LePatner's involvement with the UJA also saw her lead a solidarity mission to Israel, which took place after the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks.

The executive left behind a family, which she started with her husband Evan, whom she met on her first day at Yale, according to the Daily Mail.

LePatner is survived by her parents, her spouse and their two children.

The late businesswoman's family released a statement following her death, saying they "cannot properly express the grief" they've experienced, according to the New York Post.

Laura Dahlmeier -- a former biathlete who competed in two Olympics -- has died ... according to her management team.

Dahlmeier was climbing a mountain in Pakistan when she was struck and killed by falling rocks on Monday. Her climbing partner, Marina Eva, sent a distress signal to authorities, but low visibility and bad weather made it difficult for rescuers to reach the remote area.

When they finally arrived on Tuesday morning, it was too late to help Dahlmeier ... whose management team told CNN she specifically requested no one risk their lives to recover her body in the event of an accident.

Brooke Hogan is deep in grief over the loss of her dad, Hulk Hogan, after his passing last week ... but when it comes to his massive estate, she's chosen to remove herself and stay all the way out of the legal proceedings.

Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ that in 2023, she asked to be removed from Hulk's will ... because she didn’t trust a single person around him, and didn’t want to get caught up in a financial battle when he passed.

We’re told all Brooke ever really wanted was to protect her dad from people she felt were taking advantage of him ... but after years of disagreeing with Hulk over the matter, she reached out to his financial manager and had herself removed from the will.
