Air I Breathe, which will be produced by Emilio Diez Barroso's Nala Films
and Paul Schiff Prods. and directed by Jieho Lee. Daily Variety reports

happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love.

PSP's Tai Duncan will be an executive producer, as will Christopher Pratt. Nala
will be providing financing for the film with a budget around $10 million.
Gellar, repped by UTA, will soon be seen in Richard Kelly's Southland Tales,
while the Endeavor-repped Watanabe has a role in Rob Marshall's highly-anticipated
Memoirs of a Geisha. Luna, recently seen in Dirty Dancing: Havana
Nights and The Terminal, next stars in Solo dios sabe. He's
also repped by Endeavor.
