Sarah Michelle Gellar

Andy Garcia, Brendan Fraser, Emile Hirsch, and Forest Whitaker are joining the indie ensemble ’’The Air I Breathe" for Korean director Jieho Lee. The actors join Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kevin Bacon in the romantic crime drama that began shooting yesterday in Mexico City.

The film is based on a Chinese proverb that breaks down the whole of human existence into four emotional elements — happiness, pleasure, sorrow, and love — and holds that these elements are intertwined. Happiness (Whitaker) is a spiritually bereft banker, Pleasure (Fraser) a gangster who can see the future, Sorrow (Gellar) a reckless female pop star, and Love (Bacon) a desperate doctor.
