Paramount Television is set to produce a television adaptation of director Paul Schrader's classic film
American Gigolo (1980). The series will be executive produced by Richard Gere, Lauren Hutton, and Jerry Bruckheimer (who also produced the original film). Director Schrader will contribute as an executive
consultant.
"With its signature noir aesthetic, American Gigolo has remained a deeply entertaining, psychological thriller and I'm thrilled to partner with [Paramount CEO] Brad [Grey] and [Paramount TV president] Amy [Powell] on remaking it into a television series," Bruckheimer said.
Note: In the United States, the original film will be released on Blu-ray on February 24, 2015. You can see our listing of this upcoming release
