Franco and Gere will be teaming up for the first time in the upcoming film Nights in Rodanthe. We get the news from the caves of Yahoo:
Law & Order: SVU” star Christopher Meloni and “Spider-Man 3” villain James Franco will join Diane Lane and Richard Gere in “Nights in Rodanthe,” a romantic drama based on the Nicholas Sparks novel. Theater veteran George Wolfe is directing the Warner Bros. project.
Gere plays a doctor who stops at an inn in North Carolina while traveling to reconcile with his estranged son. At the beach town, the doctor has a life-changing romance with an unhappily married woman (Lane). Meloni is playing the role of Lane’s husband, while Franco plays Gere’s estranged son.
For being such a mello guy I find it hilarious that Richard Gere is in a few films regarding infidelity. I do not think Gere is the type of dude that would try to mow your grass. Then again, who knows what floats his boat. He could get raging boners over wedding rings on the ladies that he is intimate with.
Romantic dramas may be my least favorite genre. The movie has to be pretty spectaclar, and I have to have a dozen reccomends before I watch one on my own volition. But for those of you that love romance and/or Richard Gere and/or James Franco then this news is the sweetest of announcements.
