The oscar-winner duo, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, are gearing up to team up on yet another project together. Will the project, a feature film, be one more hit on the pair's list of collaborated blockbusters? Only time will tell. Affleck, 49, Matt, 52, will reportedly co-write and produce the upcoming. What we do know about the currently unnamed project is it'll follow a significant era in the sports marketing surrounding Nike's relentless effort to sign Michael Jordan.   

The Hollywood Reporter cites the true story feature will soon be sealing a deal with Amazon Studios, Skydance Sports and Mandalay Pictures. Saving Private Ryan actor Damon will be seen portraying sports marketing executive Sonny Vaccaro, while Affleck is said to be set for the role of Nike co-founder Phil Knight. The Entertainment publication surmises the plot as "a story around Nike’s longshot effort to sign rising superstar basketball player Michael Jordan to its shoe company in the mid-eighties."

Inspired by the 2015 ESPN 30 for 30 documentary titled Sole Man, the movie will follow former sports executive Vaccaro's persevering effort to get Jordan in a partnership that'll forever change the landscape of sports marketing. Though an integral part of the movie, NBA player Jordan will be an obscure figure, lingering above the storyline. The upcoming will be a milestone for Affleck because it'll be the first time directing his longtime pal and partner Damon.

While appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last year, the Oscars-winning pair looked back on their enduring journey. "We were unemployed, broke guys. It took us forever to write the screenplay. I think we wrote thousands and thousands of pages, Matt said, adding, "We were unemployed, broke guys. It took us forever to write the screenplay.
