Robert Luketic will direct “All Out of Love: The Air Supply Story” for Altit Media Group. The film follows the two founding members of Air Supply, Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock, as they pursue their musical dreams, ultimately breaking big with such chart-toppers as “Every Woman in the World,” “Lost in Love” and, the film’s title song, “All Out of Love.”

In Luketic, the project gets a director with a proven box office track record — Luketic oversaw both “Legally Blonde” films, two of the biggest hits of Reese Witherspoon’s career, as well as the Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda comedy, “Monster-In-Law,” another commercial success.

Air Supply found major success with seven top-five singles in a row. The band has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide and played over 5,000 shows. 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,” Luketic said. “I firmly believe that this is a story that everyone should know, and I can’t wait to bring it to life.” 

Altit recently wrapped production on “Home Sweet Home Rebirth” starring Michele Morrone and Urassaya Sperbund, adapted from the video game franchise “Home Sweet Home.” His recent credits include “Not Without Hope” starring Zachary Levi and Josh Duhamel, “The Misfits” starring Pierce Brosnan, and “The Good Neighbor” starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers.
