Brendan Fraser and Emile Hirsch are joining the indie ensembler "The Air I Breathe" from Korean director Jieho Lee says The Hollywood Reporter.
The actors join Andy Garcia, Forest Whitaker, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kevin Bacon in the romantic crime drama that begins shooting Saturday 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 that these elements are intertwined.
Happiness (Whitaker) is a spiritually bereft banker, Pleasure (Fraser) a gangster who can see the future, Sorrow (Gellar) is a reckless female pop star and Love (Bacon) a desperate doctor. Their stories are all linked by a crime boss (Garcia). Hirsch will play Garcia's nephew.
