The thriller’s original producer Jerry Bruckheimer will be involved in the project as an executive producer, according to the [_Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/jerry-bruckheimer-adapting-american-gigolo-744800 "undefined"). Bruckheimer produced the 1980s film starring Richard Gere as a male escort in Los Angeles who falls for Lauren Hutton’s character amid scandal. “With its signature noir aesthetic, _American Gigolo_ has remained a deeply entertaining, psychological thriller and I’m thrilled to partner with \[Paramount’s\] Brad \[Grey\] and Amy \[Powell\] on remaking it into a television series,” Bruckheimer said in a statement. _Gigolo_ is one of many films getting a small screen reboot by Paramount TV. A television version of the 2002 film _Minority Report_ is also in the works. Paramount TV is also producing _Grease_ live for Fox, Yahoo reports. \[[_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/jerry-bruckheimer-adapting-american-gigolo-744800 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3547124/american-gigolo-tv-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3547124/american-gigolo-tv-show/"},"headline":"There’s a TV Version of American Gigolo Coming","datePublished":"2014-10-29T22:35:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:06:22.694Z","description":"Paramount TV will produce it","url":"https://time.com/3547124/american-gigolo-tv-show/","keywords":["Television","movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltccbe4555f9ac7d92/6987634ccd6848e44f09760a/american-gigolo.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltccbe4555f9ac7d92/6987634ccd6848e44f09760a/american-gigolo.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton in American Gigolo, 1980.","caption":"Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton in American Gigolo, 1980.","creditText":"Paramount","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3547124/american-gigolo-tv-show/","name":"There’s a TV Version of American Gigolo Coming"}}]}] ```
