Showtime has released a teaser trailer and images for American Gigolo, the upcoming reimagining of Paul Schrader’s 1980 neo-noir crime drama. The series stars Jon Bernthal as Julian Kaye, a man struggling to find his footing when he is released from prison after 15 years following a wrongful conviction; take a look here…
American Gigolo, a present-day reimagining of the iconic 1980 film, follows Julian Kaye (Jon Bernthal) after his wrongful conviction release from 15 years in prison as he navigates his complicated relationships with his former lover Michelle (Gretchen Mol), his troubled mother, and the people who betrayed him. While Julian struggles to reconcile the escort he was in the past and the man he is today, Detective Sunday (Rosie O’Donnell) seeks the truth about the murder that sent Julian to prison all those years ago, unearthing a much larger conspiracy along the way.
Joining Jon Bernthal in the cast of American Gigolo are Gretchen Mol, Rosie O’Donnell, Wayne Brady, Lizzie Brocheré, and Leland Orser.
