CELEBRITY

The film “Air” equally engages those who like movies, sports, commerce and the fascinating hustle that surrounds celeb-fueled product endorsements. “Air” follows the unique true story of shoe salesman Sonny Vaccaro. He led footwear juggernaut Nike in its dogged pursuit of basketball’s GOAT, Michael Jordan, as the company worked to secure Jordan to sign with them and create the iconic Air Jordan shoe.

The film reunited Affleck with childhood friend, frequent film collaborator and now business partner, Matt Damon and a host of others with whom he has worked previously. Affleck tells “Collider,” “This is a group of people who either I had known for a long, long time, had an enormous amount of respect and regard for, like Matt Maher, Chris Messina, Matt Damon, and Jason Bateman, all of whom I’ve worked with multiple times, know well, and adore and admire. And then, there were people who it had been my life’s goal to work with, like Viola Davis and Chris Tucker. Chris can attest the number of times I’ve harassed him. He’s passed me by in a hotel lobby and I’ve been like, “Chris, I wanna do a movie with you!” Finally, I think [Michael] Jordan brought him around, or the Jordan subject matter. He really came in and created this role. I said, ‘I need you, as a collaborator and filmmaker. I need your voice, your experience, your perspective.’”

He continues, “This movie is a massive failure, if it’s just my voice and my experience and my perspective.” Everything that everybody brought, all those things are invaluable to telling a story. It was actually like walking on air.”

Although Michael Jordan was not directly involved in the making of “Air,” Affleck consulted with the former basketball superstar numerous times to ensure the accuracy of how the film was portraying the events depicted. Jordan only had two requests of Affleck. He wanted actress Viola Davis to portray his mother and he wanted his longtime friend Howard White to be included in “Air.” White is portrayed by comedic actor Chris Tucker in the film.

“Air” is in theaters now and also streaming on Amazon Prime For more information visit IMDb.com.
