Richard Gere, 76, and Diana Silvers, 28, have been spotted filming their new movie Asymmetry in New York, sparking attention due to their significant age gap.
The film, based on the acclaimed book by Lisa Halliday, follows an unexpected romance between two people at different stages in their lives. Many drew comparisons with Halliday's own connection to author Philip Roth, who was 45 years her senior when they dated.
As production continues, some fans have expressed disappointment with the age-gap romance, with several taking to social media to share their opinions. One fan described it as 'gross,' while another admitted to being 'sick of all the old man and young woman propaganda.'
Despite the backlash, the film's synopsis suggests a compelling story about two individuals who find a deep connection despite their differences. The movie follows Alice, a young editorial assistant, and Ezra, a world-renowned 70-year-old author, as they create a private world together.
The film is directed by Oscar-winner Edward Zwick, who is also one of the writers, along with Halliday and Marshall Herskovitz. The producing team includes Zwick and Herskovitz of the Bedford Falls company, as well as Clay Pecorin of Rainmaker Films and FilmNation Entertainment.
The movie's release date has not been announced, but fans can expect a story about vulnerability, courage, and the power of human connection.
