[Update: 3 p.m. — According to Anonymous Content, Jonathan Demme is no longer attached to direct “Old Fires.”]
Anonymous Content’s family dramedy “Old Fires” is heating back up, as Golden Globe winner Richard Gere is now attached to star in the indie movie, TheWrap has learned.
Heather McGowan (“Tadpole”) wrote the script, which follows a world-renowned architect (Gere) who emerges from a coma in need of both physical and mental rehabilitation. With the help of his snarky female physical therapist, he tries to repair his damaged relationship with his children and win back his wife’s love.
Rosalie Swedlin will produce for Anonymous Content along with Caroline Kaplan.
