Multiple reports say actor Richard Gere, 76, has started filming a new romance drama titled “Asymmetry” in New York City. Coverage describes Gere spending time with his on-screen love interest, a co-star who is 28, during early production days. The articles characterize the project as “controversial,” but they do not provide specific details about the nature of the controversy. Both sources focus on the same set of circumstances: filming begins in New York, and the movie’s casting and age difference between Gere and his younger co-star are highlighted. Beyond the start of production and the setting, the reports do not add further confirmed information about the plot, production schedule, supporting cast, or release timeline. Overall, the available accounts agree that Gere is currently filming “Asymmetry” in New York and that he is working with a substantially younger co-star in a romance storyline.
