Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s production company has issued a statement saying it didn’t give the Trump campaign permission to use audio from the movie Air in a recent fundraising video that the campaign posted on Truth Social.
The Trump video excerpts Matt Damon’s climactic monologue in Air to mirror the former president’s own rise to political power and the establishment’s subsequent and ongoing efforts to destroy him.
“We hereby, expressly give notice that in the case of any use of material from Air by the Trump campaign where approval or consent is required, we do not grant such consent,” said the statement from Artists Equity, the company founded by Affleck and Damon that produced Air.
Specifically in terms of any & all rights available to us under US copyright and intellectual property law, we hereby, expressly give notice that in the case of any use of material from Air by the Trump campaign where approval or consent is required, we do not grant such consent.
