PICCOLO GRANDE SCHERMO - Gira e Re-Gere, sempre di reboot si parla...adesso tocca a "American Gigolo"! 

News tratta da TvLine.com
Ladies, get your spending money ready: American Gigolo is getting a TV reboot on Showtime. The 1980 film that made Richard Gere a star is being developed into a drama series, according to our sister site Deadline. Paramount TV and Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the original Gigolo film, are behind the reboot; playwright Neil LaBute will write the pilot. (The film’s writer/director, Paul Schrader, is on board as an executive consultant.)
American Gigolo starred Gere as high-end male escort Julian Kaye, who enjoys the superficial L.A. lifestyle before getting entangled with a politician’s wife (Lauren Hutton) — and a murder case. The film put Gere on the Hollywood map two years before An Officer and a Gentleman… and featured a notorious shot of full-frontal male nudity. (And since the reboot is on pay-cable, we might be seeing more of that.)

Gigolo is the latest movie-to-TV reboot for Paramount TV and Bruckheimer; ABC snatched up their remake of the Will Smith movie Enemy of the State last month.

PICCOLO GRANDE SCHERMO - Gira e ri-Gere, sono sempre remake, reboot, spin-off...Arriva anche la serie tv di "American Gigolò" prodotta da Jerry "CSI" Bruckheimer (già firma del film del 1980) e seguita da Paul Schrader (regista della pellicola)

Paramount Television is again reaching into the studio archives, announcing that it is partnering with Jerry Bruckheimer on a television adaptation of the 1980 Richard Gere-Lauren Hutton film “American Gigolo.”
Bruckheimer, who was a producer on that crime drama centered around a superficial male escort in Los Angeles, will exec produce the project. Paul Schrader, the film’s director and writer, will serve as exec consultant.
Bruckheimer TV’s Jonathan Littman, KristieAnne Reed and Michael Azzolino will exec produce, co-exec produce and produce, respectively. “American Gigolo” will be a Paramount Television production.
“With its signature noir aesthetic, ‘American Gigolo’ has remained a deeply entertaining, psychological thriller and I’m thrilled to partner with [Paramount's] Brad [Grey] and Amy [Powell] on remaking it into a television series,” said Bruckheimer on behalf of Jerry Bruckheimer Television.
Bruckheimer signed a first-look film deal with Paramount last year, where he is developing film sequels to his “Beverly Hills Cop” and “Top Gun.” Among other TV deals, Bruckheimer TV and Michael Bay also recently partnered with TNT on a pilot based on the 1970s Florida drug trade that is penned by “Masters of Sex’s” Michelle Ashford.
“When it comes to making great television entertainment, Jerry Bruckheimer Television is in a league unto themselves and we take enormous pride in collaborating with Jerry, Jonathan and KristieAnne on developing a drama series that is every bit as cinematic, suspenseful and stylish as the film,” said Paramount TV prexy Amy Powell.
Paramount TV has also announced plans for a TV adaptation of “Ghost” and is partnering with Fox on a live stage version of “Grease!.”
