Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are teaming up on a biopic about Nike's Sonny Vaccaro.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are lacing up their shoes for another project, as the two are set to oversee a sports marketing drama on Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro. Damon will portray Vaccaro and Affleck will play Nike co-founder Steve Knight, with the film capturing their dogged pursuit of a partnership with NBA legend Michael Jordan. Amazon Studios and Skydance Sports are in the process of finalizing their deal for the film.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Per The Hollywood Reporter's exclusive report, "the story will focus on Vaccaro's relentless quest to sign Jordan to what was then the third-place shoe company, a journey that took him to Jordan's parents, and in particular his powerful, dynamic mother, as well as former coaches, advisers, and friends.
This will mark the first feature for Skydance Sports, which was founded by David Ellison. Sports dramas have been somewhat successful in recent years, with titles like Concussion, King Richard, and American Underdog. Damon and Affleck's film does sound unique and like it could be a bit more fun than those mentioned above. The Last Dance was a major hit and remains to garner viewers via Netflix, so there's certainly a strong launching pad for this film.
