Paul Schrader's 1980 Crime Thriller 'American Gigolo' Gets Blu-ray Release Date and TV Series Adaptation

The film starring Richard Gere, Lauren Hutton, and Hector Elizondo will hit Blu-ray shelves in February.

In an early announcement to retailers, Warner Brothers will be bringing 'American Gigolo' to Blu-ray on February 24.

Armani-clad male escort Julian Kaye (Richard Gere) leads a comfortable life offering his services to the rich women of Los Angeles. Well-paid for his efforts, he buys the best clothes, eats in the finest restaurants and spends his days hob-nobbing with the cream of society. But when one of his clients is murdered and the police place him as suspect number one, Julian suddenly finds himself rejected by all of his rich friends. Even worse, he discovers that he cannot offer his alibi because it revolves around a woman who refuses to come forward.

No other details have been revealed at this time, except that Paramount is adapting the film into a TV series that will be executive produced by Richard Gere, Lauren Hutton, and Jerry Bruckheimer.
