Get ready for an edge-of-your-seat adventure! Notorious Hollywood heartthrob Richard Gere (75, currently rocking it in "The Agency" and last year's "Oh, Canada" with Uma Thurman and Jacob Elordi) and action queen Michelle Rodriguez (46, known for her roles in "Fast & Furious," "Resident Evil," and "Machete") are teaming up for the upcoming survival thriller, "Left Seat."

This death-defying drama will be unveiled at the glamorous Cannes Film Festival 2025. In this heart-pounding tale, Rodriguez depicts a resourceful pharmaceutical representative who's suddenly thrust into the command seat of a small charter plane after the pilot collapses during the flight. With dwindling fuel and treacherous storms ahead, she desperately looks to a mysterious stranger (Gere) for guidance through the crisis, their communication limited to radio chatter.

Ben Younger, seasoned director of thrillers like "Bleed for This," is helming the film. David M. Crabtree's original script got the makeover treatment from Younger himself, bringing an extra layer of intrigue to this tense tale. As an added bonus, Younger's background as a pilot is sure to infuse the film with a striking dose of authenticity that will keep you riveted to your seat.

Producer Jason Michael Berman couldn't hide his excitement, saying, "David M. Crabtree's brilliant script brings an intense cinematic experience with emotional depth. With Ben Younger, who brings his real-life pilot expertise, and the ridiculously talented Michelle Rodriguez and Richard Gere, 'Left Seat' is a dream come true."

As of now, the release date and start of production for "Left Seat" are still under wraps.

Stay tuned for more updates on this fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants thriller that's sure to blow your mind!
