Richard Gere has signed up to star in Franny

Richard Gere is set to star in a new indie drama about a man who invades the lives of a newlywed couple.

The Pretty Woman star has signed up for the role in filmmaker Andrew Renzi’s movie Franny, according to Deadline.

His character is described as a “hedonistic philanthropist” who gets involved in the young couple’s life in order to recreate his former life.

So far it isn’t known who else will star in the film.

Richard, 63, has not been seen on the big screen since last year’s Arbitrage.

Production on Franny is due to start in October.
