Matt Damon attended the premiere of his new movie, "Air" in Los Angeles Monday night with his wife Luciana Barroso and three of their daughters.

The cast of "Air" also posed for plenty of snaps during the star-studded premiere. The director seemed to have some fun on the carpet at the premiere. Affleck was also supported by his wife, global superstar Jennifer Lopez, at the premiere.

Damon and Affleck talk reuniting for 'Air,' their crowd-pleasing movie about the making of Air Jordan.

I like to see character-driven stories that hinge on the performances and the writing. “Wanting to be recognized and properly compensated for your value is the main theme of the movie,” said Jason Bateman, who plays Nike vice president of marketing Rob Strasser in Air. I want to let the audience invoke their own memories and experiences of what Michael Jordan means to them.” “He’s actually not even in it because I thought it would be too difficult for the audience to believe that anyone other than Michael Jordan was Michael Jordan. As the film shows, Vaccaro immediately saw greatness in Jordan—and was willing to risk his career and the whole Nike corporation on his bet. “And the movie really is about following your instincts. “This is not the Michael Jordan story. Damon had the opportunity to meet with the real Vaccaro, both on and off the set. She also knew the worth of her son’s immense talent and convinced Nike to pay him a certain percentage of every Air Jordan shoe sold—ultimately changing the rules on how athletes are compensated from endorsement deals. “I had this feeling inside of me from watching his games,” said the 83-year-old Vaccaro on the red carpet. To be able to work with him is something that I don’t take for granted,” said the two-time Oscar winner on the red carpet. He’s just absolutely great, and I can’t wait to do it again.

When speaking at the Los Angeles premiere of 'Air' on Monday, Matt Damon revealed that his relationship with Ben Affleck has "deepened" over time.

It’s still the same shit just now we have a company so there’s more on the line for us,” he continued. “The thing about growing up together is you know each other so well and there’s no diplomacy at all – it’s actually the opposite which helps creatively with problem solving,” he said. However, Damon did explain that the pair are “still trying to solve creative problems” given that is now “more on the line”.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon responded to the bizarre prospect of a sequel to their classic 1997 film Good Will Hunting, which the pair wrote together.

The way the film ended, with Will going off to California to "see about a girl" and Robin Williams' Dr. It is also tough to imagine a sequel without Williams, who brought a certain reverence to the film and set. The hardscrabble, gritty originality that made the Good Will Hunting script so good might be difficult to replicate now following years of sustained success. The idea made Damon laugh hysterically and while the pitch was apparently genuine, Affleck and Damon clearly did not treat it as such and did not make it seem like it was an idea they would be considering seriously any time soon. The 1997 film was the first major breakthrough for Affleck and Damon, who wrote the script together and starred in the film, with Damon playing the titular Will Hunting and Affleck portraying his pal Chuckie Sullivan. Affleck and Damon also won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for their work on the film.

The "feud" between Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel continues, as the Air red carpet gave both participants a chance to feed those faux flames.

While the feud between Damon and Kimmel is fictitious, the premiere of Air is not. When it came time for Jimmy Kimmel to speak to the same outlet on the Air red carpet, he wasn’t shy about playing along. As the stakes continue to rise and the pranks continue to keep it in the public eye, there’s no telling where or when this spat will go next. One off-handed comment about bumping Damon from a Jimmy Kimmel LIve episode led to a storyline that implied that Kimmel was purposely punishing the Air star for some unknown reason.

Matt replied: “Oh yeah, oh he had notes, he always had notes.” While Ben backed it up saying their friendship has a foundation of honest criticism. While a fourth asked: “What is going on with Matt Damon may I ask?” A third added: “Has Matt Damon woken up properly?”
