Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have a new movie collaboration on the way, and this project will be unlike any other the two have tackled together before. The Hollywood Reporter reports that this next film will document real events from the life of Sonny Vaccarro, who was formerly an executive of the Nike brand. Damon will play the role of Vaccarro, and Affleck will direct and portray Nike co-founder Phil Knight as the two pen the screenplay and produce the endeavor. The movie will concentrate on Nike’s efforts in securing an endorsement deal with Michael Jordan, which gave way to the worldwide prominence of both the sneaker and basketball industries.
When Damon interviewed Affleck for Entertainment Weekly in January 2022, Affleck expressed his desire to do well with every new Hollywood project he takes on.”My only thing is that now I live in fear every time I do another movie, I’m like, ‘Do I still feel that, am I still good?'” Affleck said before adding, “But I’m happy now … And I do think I’ve gotten better. I think people generally get better with the age and experience.” Affleck and Damon will be able to show off the best of their talents with this next film, which will no doubt be a must-see for fans of the duo.
