Three years ago the short film, Love Is All You Need, garnered a lot of attention with its role-reversal tale about a world where being homosexual is the norm, and straight people are persecuted. Now that short has been expanded into a feature-length film, bringing a few familiar faces with it, including Briana Evigan (Step Up 2), Jeremy Sisto (Clueless), Elisabeth Röhm (Law & Order), Tyler Blackburn (Pretty Little Liars) and Emily Osment (Hannah Montana).

The basic set-up is the same, taking us into a world where nearly everyone is paired up in same-sex couples, and those who fall for someone of a different gender are looked down on and vilified. Jude (Evigan) is a female football star at her high school, with a gorgeous girlfriend (Osment) and plenty of popularity. However, when she meets university fraternity pledge Ryan (Blackburn), unexpected thoughts start to emerge. As their relationship develops, Jude begins to wonder whether she’s really a ‘ro’ (a derogatory shortening of heterosexual). [Read more…]

Poor straight people. They’re always being oppressed by the gay masses. Or at least they will be in Love Is All You Need, a new movie that THR reports has just signed Twilight hottie Kellan Lutz and Open Road’s Camilla Belle to star.

The movie follows several storylines set in a world where being gay is considered the norm. The rather slight Belle will play a star American football quarterback who is adored by a large fan base while Lutz will be an aspiring journalist. The two of them fall in love, keeping their relationship secret due to public dislike of straight couple, but when the romance becomes public, the two find themselves being bullied. It hasn’t been revealed what other storylines the film might explore.

The film is based on a short by Kim Rocco Shields (you can watch a trailer for that short below), who will direct the movie, and co-wrote the feature script with David Tillman.
