Robert Luketic will direct All Out of Love: The Air Supply Story for Altit Media Group. The film follows Air Supply’s founding members Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock as they pursue their musical dreams and break through with hits such as “Every Woman in the World,” “Lost in Love,” and the film’s title song, “All Out of Love.”
With Luketic, the project is being helmed by a director with a proven track record at the box office – Luketic oversaw the two “Legally Blonde” films, two of the biggest hits of Reese Witherspoon’s career, as well as the comedy “Monster-in-Law” with Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda, another commercial success.
Casting for the film, which will be written by BAFTA-nominated writer Stuart Beattie (“Pirates of the Caribbean,” Baz Luhrman’s “Australia”), is currently underway.
Dean Altit of Altit Media Group will produce, while Barry Seigel, Jesse Weiner, Julia Xu and Johnny Hsu will serve as executive producers. Filming is scheduled to take place in Australia and the UK in the first quarter of 2025. The film will be released to coincide with the band’s 50th anniversary.
Luketic’s other credits include The Ugly Truth, a romantic comedy starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler, and the heist drama 21. On television, Luketic directed episodes of Jane the Virgin on The CW and Schmigadoon! on Apple TV+.
Air Supply was very successful, with seven top 5 singles in a row. The band has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and performed over 5,000 concerts. Other hits include “Here I Am,” “Even the Nights Are Better,” and “Making Love Out of Nothing at All.”
“‘All Out of Love’ is an emotional and triumphant testament to the musical genius of two Australians, Russell Hitchcock and Graham Russell, who are behind some of the world’s greatest love songs,” said Luketic. “I firmly believe this is a story everyone should know and I can’t wait to bring it to life.”
Altit recently completed production on Home Sweet Home Rebirth, starring Michele Morrone and Urassaya Sperbund, an adaptation of the Home Sweet Home video game series. His recent credits include Not Without Hope, starring Zachary Levi and Josh Duhamel, Misfits, starring Pierce Brosnan and “The Good Neighbor” with Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
Luketic is represented by CAA, Mosaic and Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher.
