Ben Affleck ‘AIR’ hitting the Big Screen in April
From director Ben Affleck comes “AIR” the revolutionary story that changed culture forever inspired by true events of Nike’s game-changing early days from Amazon Studios, Skydance Sports and Mandalay Pictures.
Ben Affleck said “Matt and I are very excited for audiences to see AIR and proud that it’s the first release from Artists Equity. The movie was an extraordinary experience where we had the honor of working with some of the best cast and crew in the business, all of whom brought passion, persistence and creativity to a collective effort at recreating a remarkable and aspirational story.” The Hollywood Report
Matt Damon stars former Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro, while Ben Affleck plays Nike co-founder Phil Knight in a story around Nike’s long-shot effort to sign rising superstar basketball player Michael Jordan to a shoe contract in the mid-’80s, an endorsement that seemed impossible at the time.
The upcoming sports drama features a star studded cast inlcuding Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Viola Davis, Chris Messina, Matthew Maher, Marlon Wayans, Chris Tucker, Gustaf Skarsgård, Julius Tennon and Justin Bateman.
AIR opens in theaters across the globe on April 5 in advance of its debut on Amazon’s Prime Video.
