After making waves globally for its impeccable storytelling and phenomenal starcast, the Ben Affleck directorial AIR, a biographical drama, is all set for its India release on Amazon Prime Video. The Matt Damon and Affleck starrer film offers a rare glimpse into the story of basketball legend Michael Jordan who served as the inspiration for the iconic Air Jordan sneakers. The film offers a unique perspective on the creation of the iconic shoe and the inception of sneaker culture that followed.
Ben Affleck expresses gratitude towards Michael Jordan who is the inspiration behind AIR; says, “He is such an undisputedly important and meaningful figure”
Describing how Michael Jordan was elemental to the creation of AIR Jordan, and subsequently to the film, actor, director and producer Ben Affleck said, “AIR is not Michael Jordan’s story, but there is no story without him. I would not have made this movie without first reaching out to him. And I’m grateful to Michael for sharing what was important to him. His presence and influence is felt throughout the film, though we don’t see his face. Because he is such an icon–an undisputedly important and meaningful figure.”
Matt Damon plays maverick Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro and Affleck plays Nike co-founder Phil Knight. AIR also stars Jason Bateman, Chris Messina, Chris Tucker and Viola Davis in pivotal roles. Directed by Ben Affleck, and coming from Amazon Studios, Skydance Sports, Mandalay Pictures, this marks the first project of Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity. It will stream on May 12 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
