A World Without Order

A Knight Without Law

About BLACK KNIGHT :

Black Knight is a post-apocalypse live action sci-fi series directed by Cho Ui-Seok, starring Kim Woo Bin, Song Seung-Heon, E-som & Kang You-Seok. 

Set in a dystopian world, the series follows the journey of refugee Sa-wol, and the legendary deliveryman 5-8, as he takes on the all-powerful Cheonmyung Group in a dystopian version of Korea.  40 years ago, a comet impact left the Korean peninsula deserted and only 1% of the population survived. The country is ravaged by extreme air pollution, rendering it uninhabitable without an oxygen mask. The survival of humanity now depends on the Black Knights — and they’re far from your average delivery men. 

Back In The Director's Chair: Why Ben Affleck Is The Best Person To Be At The Helm Of “AIR”

For Ben Affleck, an avid sports fan, directing “AIR” was an honor. The film, which opens in cinemas April 19, features a topic that’s very dear to him, boasts an excellent cast, and has a passionate and creative team behind the scenes. Plus, he got to work directly with the Greatest of All Time, Michael Jordan.

“I really believe that human excellence is a beautiful thing,” says Affleck. “The concept of genius is one of the things that’s most fascinating to me, and Michael Jordan is nothing if not a genius.”

However, “AIR” is not Michael Jordan’s story, “but there is no story without him,” explains the director. “I would not have made this movie without first reaching out to him. And I’m grateful to Michael for sharing what was important to him. His presence and influence is felt throughout the film, though we don’t see his face. Because he is such an icon—an undisputedly important and meaningful figure, someone everyone holds in such high esteem—we didn’t want to shatter the illusion, but rather let the audience invoke their own memories and experiences of what Michael Jordan means.”

"AIR" makes triumphant world premiere at the South by Southwest Festival

The fans and critics have spoken. “AIR” is a real winner. 

“AIR,” directed by Ben Affleck and featuring a star-studded cast led by Matt Damon, closed out the South by Southwest Festival to a wild standing ovation and rave reviews by critics. 

Called a “slam dunk” by critics, it was also hailed as “this Generation’s ‘Jerry Maguire’” by Variety. 

The film’s cast was also widely praised for their “powerful and award-winning performance” in what Indiewire called “ultimately one of the best sports movies ever made.” 

“This is a movie that is made to inspire people, to make them feel good in a way that Michael Jordan is inspiring to the world,” said Affleck.
