“Ron Howard would love this story,” says Schewe. “Inspired by the true World War II tale of the B-17 ‘Phantom Fortress,’ Bad Love Strikes combines the historical authenticity and heart of Apollo 13 with the imagination of Back to the Future and the adventure of Raiders of the Lost Ark. The Bad Love team believes few filmmakers could better bring this award-winning journey through time, history, and heroism to the big screen.”
“Big on adventure, rich in historical detail, and loaded with cinematic flair, Bad Love delivers memorable characters, sharp humor, and a story that demands to be seen on the big screen.”
