Matt and Ben at it again! Matt Damon and Ben Affleck reunite onscreen in the forthcoming biographical movie Air.
The film — which Affleck directed — focuses on Nike’s pivotal partnership with Michael Jordan and the ensuing launch of the Air Jordan sneaker. The Good Will Hunting actors portray Nike cofounder Phil Knight (Damon) and Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro (Affleck).
“There’s nothing cool about Nike,” Marlon Wayans, playing basketball coach George Raveling, laments in the trailer.
“1984 has been a tough year. Our sales are down. Our growth is down,” Jason Bateman’s Rob Strasser adds. When tasked with reinvigorating the company’s image, Knight pitches the idea of building a new shoe line around then-rookie Jordan.
Affleck stated in a January 2023 statement that he and Damon are “very excited for audiences to see Air.”
The Argo star continued: “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 upcoming release marks the longtime friends’ first collaboration since 2021’s The Last Duel, which they starred in and cowrote along with Nicole Holofcener. Air is also Affleck’s return to directing following the 2016 crime drama Live By Night. The pair became household names after cowriting and starring in the 1997 film Good Will Hunting, which earned them an Oscar for Best Screenplay — Written Directly for the Screen.
The filmmakers are childhood friends who met in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the early 1980s.
