Paramount TV is adapting 1980's American Gigolo.
Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton starrer, will executive produce the new take. Paul Schrader, who directed and wrote the original, is on board as an exec 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.
Jerry Bruckheimer Television's Jonathan Littman will exec produce, with the company's KristieAnne Reed on board as a co-EP; Michael Azzolino will produce.
