AMELIA TAKES OFF WITH GERE ON BOARD
RICHARD GERE has signed up to join HILARY SWANK in the much-delayed AMELIA EARHART biopic.
Aussie director Philip Noyce quit the project at Christmas (07), due to ongoing filming delays and has been replaced by Mira Nair.
Now, with Gere on board, the flying film, titled Amelia, will take off later this month (Apr08), when shooting begins in Canada and South Africa.
Double Oscar winner Swank will play the fabled aviator and Gere will portray her publisher husband George Putnam.
