Amazon Prime Video will be released on May 12 WeatherA Ben Affleck film that looks at the birth of the collaboration between Michael Jordan and the Nike team in the ’80s and the creation of the legendary “Air Jordan” sneaker. In the cast of the movie, we found: Matt Damon (sports marketing director at Nike), who plays Sonny Vaccaro, Ben Affleck as Phil Knight (co-founder of the comma brand), Viola Davis, who is also the mother of the famous basketball player. Finally, Jason Bateman (VP of marketing at Nike), Chris Messina (representative of Jordan), Marlon Wayans (former coach of Jordan), Chris Tucker (consultant) and Gustaf Skarsgård completed this five-star poster.
But the question everyone is asking is which actor represents Michael Jordan? The answer is simple: no one! Indeed, if the movie mainly revolves around the NBA legend, no player represents him on screen. That’s how Ben Affleck decided, announcing his audacious choice to American site Collider. “ It never crossed my mind. Michael is so gorgeous, so famous, (…) and immediately recognizable both by his presence and his behavior (…). The best way to ruin the movie and show viewers that it was a hoax was to point the camera at someone who wasn’t Michael Jordan and say, “Hey, that’s Michael Jordan.” said the director.
Air will be discovered on Prime Video on Friday, May 12.
