Ben Affleck, Matt Damon to produce film about Arizona State legend Anthony Robles; Jennifer Lopez expected to star
Hollywood stars and longtime friends Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have teamed up with Amazon to produce a movie about former Arizona State University wrestler Anthony Robles.
In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning this past weekend, Affleck said Artists Equity, a new production company started by Affleck and Damon, is, “just getting rolling on working again with Amazon, to do the story of a wrestler named Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and won a national championship for Arizona State."
Their company has produced the upcoming film "Air,'' about how Nike developed the wildly popular Air Jordan brand by pursuing Michael Jordan in his rookie year in 1984.
Robles currently is the head wrestling coach at his alma mater Mesa High School and also has made a career in giving motivational speeches.
