John Bernthal will conquer the sex industry
The crime thriller American Gigolo is one of the films that made Richard Gere a star. In 2014, Hollywood started thinking about making a TV series based on the film, but only now the project has become closer than ever to television screens. Showtime has commissioned a pilot for American Gigolo, and Gere will be succeeded by John Bernthal.Recall that the 1980 film tells the story of Julian Kay, whose job is to please women. However, from a sought-after Los Angeles gigolo, the hero turns into the main suspect in a murder case. The Showtime series is, according to the producers, a modern reimagining of the film. It's been 18 years since Julian was arrested. He is trying to find his place in the sex industry of the City of Angels and find out who set him up and sent him to prison. Julian also dreams of reuniting with Michelle - the love of his life. So far, only Bernthal is listed in the cast of the show, and if the project receives an order for the full first season, then another bright television role will be added to the actor's piggy bank, which already has The Walking Dead and The Punisher. American Gigolo is written and directed by David Hollander (Ray Donovan), and legendary Jerry Bruckheimer is named producer.
