It has only been 44 years since American Gigolo, but director Paul Schrader has reunited with Richard Gere for his new project, titled Oh Canada.
It will be interesting to see whether a cast that includes Gere, Uma Thurman and Jacob Elordi will help this movie do better than Schrader's last few films, which haven't done well at the box-office.

Oh, Canada, a new film that pairs Richard Gere with his American Gigolo writer-director Paul Schrader 44 years after the iconic male escort drama, has released its first images.
Oh, Canada depicts famed documentary filmmaker Leonard Fife (Gere), an American leftist who fled to Canada as a young man to avoid being drafted to fight in the Vietnam War. Battling cancer in Montreal, late in life, he agrees to a final interview in which he plans to reveal long-concealed secrets. He unburdens himself in the presence of his wife Emma (Uma Thurman), and former student Malcolm MacLeod (Michael Imperioli), as well as a team of filmmakers, one of whom is played by Jacob Elordi.
The film is based on the 2021 novel Foregone, written by Russell Banks. It is lead produced by David Gonzales, who also produced Schrader’s previous film, Master Gardener, starring Joel Edgerton and Sigourney Weaver. The other producers are Tiffany Boyle (Joyland), Luisa Law (The Accidental Getaway Driver), Scott LaStaiti (Kandahar starring Gerard Butler), and Meghan Hanlon.
