Richard Gere has signed on to star opposite Hillary Swank in ‘Amelia,’ a biopic chronicling the relationship between Earhart and her husband, George Putnam. ‘Amelia’ will be directed by Mira Nair, who has been been planning on heading out to India to shoot ‘Shantaram’ with Johnny Depp, but was delayed due to the strike.
‘Amelia’ begins shooting later this month.
