Ben Affleck and Matt Damon star in film about Nike's quest to sign Michael Jordan

The Oscar-winning duo of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are joining forces again for a new movie.

The long-time buddies and collaborators are working on a film about Nike's quest to sign Michael Jordan as its spokesperson in the 1980s.

Ben Affleck plays Nike co-founder and billionaire Phil Knight, while Matt Damon plays sneaker salesman Sonny Vaccaro.

The real-life partnership between Jordan and Nike eventually became the biggest partnership between an athlete and a brand, resulting in a multi-billion dollar sneaker industry.

Ezra Miller has more legal troubles in Hawaii

The Flash star Ezra Miller was arrested in Hawaii for allegedly throwing a chair at a woman.

Reports say the incidents happened at home in lower Puna during a private get-together.

Hawaii police say that "the individual, later identified as Ezra Miller, became irate after being asked to leave and reportedly threw a chair, striking a 26-year-old female on the forehead, resulting in an approximate half-inch cut."

It's the latest incident that Miller's had with police in Hawaii.

Last month a couple Miller was staying with accused the actor of threatening and stealing from them.

Shortly after, police were called to a bar after saying Miller grabbed a microphone from a woman during karaoke and lunged at a man playing darts.

Hawaii Police says Miller had been the source of 10 police calls in Hilo since March 7.
