It appears Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have done it again with their 'AIR' movie.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have worked together again to tell the incredible Michael Jordan story in the film 'AIR'. It premiered in the South by South West festival and it drops in theatres worldwide on April 5. There was already great buzz but critics still needed to offer their early reviews on it. The general consensus is overwhelmingly positive and it's even aiming to become one of next year's favorites during award season. Both actors star in the film as the duo that founded NIKE nd got to land Michael Jordan's contract that ultimately turned them into the behemoth sportswear brand they are today.
One of the critics is even calling for Matt Damon's imminent Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of Sonny Vaccaro, who was the one who landed the contract. Affleck plays NIKE founder Phil Knight and both of them wrote the script. Other movie stars who appears on the film are Viola Davis, Chris Tucker, Marlon Wayans, Jason Bateman, and Jessica Green. The last time Damon and Affleck starred together in a movie was back in the late '90s when they won the Academy Award for best Original Script in 'Good Will Hunting'. For that film, the late great Robin Williams also won the Academy Award for Acting in a Supporting Role.
In case you were wondering, this movie is definitely approved by Michael Jordan but his character apparently doesn't have a prominent role in the story. This film actually focuses more on the NIKE founders and the story of how the company's success was originated from the legendary NBA star. Don't get us wrong, Michael Jordan definitely appears in the movie but he doesn't seem to have much weightin the story. 'AIR' premieres on April 5 and every single NBA fan is eagerly waiting for its premiere. Both Ben Affleck and Matt Damon must be proud for making another great movie together.
