Happiness and love are coming to life
Brendan Fraser and Kevin Bacon will play 'emotional elements' in forthcoming indie flick 'The Air I Breathe'.
Jan 26 2006
Kevin Bacon is to play a screen representation of love while Brendan Fraser will play pleasure in an intriguing new film entitled 'The Air I Breathe'.
Based on a Chinese proverb that claims the whole of human existence can be broken down into four core emotional elements – happiness, love, pleasure and sorrow – the unusual flick will be directed by Korean helmer Jieho Lee.
In the film, Bacon's love will be a desperate doctor and Fraser's pleasure is a gangster who can see into the future.
Completing the elements, Sarah Michelle Gellar will play sorrow in the shape of a female pop star living on the edge, while Forest Whitaker's happiness will be a successful banker.
Filling out the cast, Andy Garcia will play a crime boss who links the four characters.
'The Air I Breathe' is set to start shooting in Mexico City this weekend.
