“Nymphomaniac” star Charlotte Gainsbourg is nearing a deal to star opposite Richard Gere in Joseph Cedar’s dramatic thriller “Oppenheimer Strategies,” TheWrap has learned.
Cold Iron Pictures is financing the indie project with Fabrica de Cine and Tadmor Entertainment Group.
Gere stars as Norman Oppenheimer, a small-time operator who befriends a young politician at a low point in his life. Three years later, when the politician has become an influential world leader, Norman’s life changes dramatically — for better and for worse.
Gainsbourg is in negotiations for the film’s female lead, though details of her role are being kept under wraps.
