Step outside your comfort zone yet again, ‘cause our legendary leading man, Rich Gere (75), is set to star in another thrilling escapade. He's stepping into the cockpit (metaphorically speaking, of course) after the hit series "The Agency." This time around, he'll share the screen with the badass Michelle Rodriguez (46) in the nail-biting drama "Left Seat." The flick is set to make its grand debut at the Cannes Film Market. Word on the street is this juicy tidbit from industry insider "Deadline."
A Man of Action: Director Ben Younger Takes the Reins
Prepare for take-off! Rodriguez will bring her A-game as a pharmaceutical repron a small chartered plane, thrust into command when the pilot crashes out mid-air. With fuel dwindling and the ominous clouds closing in, she'll need the guidance of a mystery stranger (Gere) via two-way radio to navigate through the storm.
The screen veteran behind the helm, Ben Younger, has worked in the thriller genre before, delivering a knockout punch with "Bleed for This." David M. Crabtree penned the original script, with Younger making some noteworthy revisions to add that extra zing. As an added bonus, Younger happens to be a pilot himself, giving the film a real-life edge.
According to producer Jason Michael Berman, "Left Seat" promises an intense, emotional cinematic experience that he can’t wait to breathe life into. "With Ben Younger's expert guidance, our fantastic cast—Michelle Rodriguez and Richard Gere—and David M. Crabtree's exceptional script, 'Left Seat' is a dream come true."
Keep your eyes on the sky, because the release date for "Left Seat" hasn't been confirmed just yet.
You might recognize Gere from his recent stint in "The Agency" (Paramount+) and last year's Cannes entry "Oh, Canada" alongside Uma Thurman (55) and Jacob Elordi (27). Rodriguez is no stranger to action-packed blockbusters, including the "Fast & Furious" series, the "Resident Evil" franchise, and the "Machete" films.
