Ben Affleck's upcoming film "Air" is already showing signs of a promising addition to the director's catalog. Along with being the first film to be made under his and co-star Matt Damon's new production company Artists Equity, the film has also received the support of Amazon Studios in distributing the film theatrically, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Talking to The Hollywood Reporter, Amazon Studios and MGM head Jennifer Salke commented, "Ben, Matt, and this all-star cast have delivered a fantastic film that will move, inspire and entertain audiences around the globe."
But perhaps no one is as enthusiastic as Affleck himself. The director, star, co-writer, and co-producer told The Hollywood Reporter, "The movie was an extraordinary experience where we had the honor of working with some of the best cast and crew in the business, all of whom brought passion, persistence, and creativity to a collective effort at recreating a remarkable and aspirational story." As his company expands in the coming years, Affleck aims to keep such momentum going, stating, "This was the best creative and personal experience of our lives and we look forward to many more like it."
Per Variety, Amazon will be handling the film's global release on April 5, 2023, ahead of its unannounced streaming run, when Warner Bros. will give the film additional international distribution.
