Sarah Michelle Gellar

Kevin Bacon has joined Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ken Watanabe and Diego Luna in The Air I Breathe, to be directed by Jieho Lee for Emilio Diez Barroso’s Nala Films and Paul Schiff Productions. The film, written by Lee and Bob DeRosa, starts shooting in January.

Based on an ancient Chinese proverb, The Air I Breathe is a romantic crime story that follows four extraordinary tales of human emotion: Happiness, Sorrow, Pleasure and Love.

Happiness centers on the plight of a spiritually bereft banker who finds himself only after he loses everything and resolves to rob a bank. Sorrow follows the story of a reckless female pop star who is at a turbulent point in her career. Pleasure follows the tale of a gangster who can see the future. And Love tells the story of a frantic doctor desperately trying to save a patient’s life.

Their stories - shocking, suspenseful and searing - intersect dramatically.
