Heartbreaking: Richard Gere American Actor Just Passed Away At The Aged of 75…see..more…DA-LLC
Oh, Canada director Paul Schrader didn’t think long before deciding to reunite with Richard Gere, 44 years after they made American Gigolo together, for his latest movie about a dying draft dodger and doc maker looking to set the record on his life straight in one final interview.
In Schrader’s latest movie, which is having a North American premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, Gere plays Leonard Fife, an American who fled to Montreal to avoid the Vietnam War and eventually became celebrated as a documentary director.
But now facing terminal cancer, Fife rises from his deathbed and looks into a movie camera himself to recall key moments in his life and its many failings and lies. “Any number of actors could knock this out of the park. It’s a great role,” Schrader told The Hollywood Reporter about his movie adaptation of Russell Banks’ 2021 novel Foregone.
