Richard Gere and Diana Silvers Filming Intimate Scenes for Asymmetry in New York

On-location photos have drawn attention to the film’s age-gap premise, prompting the production to bring on an intimacy coordinator to stage sensitive scenes.

Overview

  • Production on Asymmetry began in early July and is actively shooting in New York City, with recent photos showing the leads filming in Central Park.
  • Images published this week show Gere and Silvers in romantic sequences including an ice-cream bench moment and a pedicab ride.
  • Edward Zwick co-wrote, will direct and produce the screen adaptation with Lisa Halliday and Marshall Herskovitz, and the film is slated for release in 2027.
  • Reports say intimacy coordinator Nicole Callender has been hired to choreograph the love scenes to address consent and power-dynamic concerns on set.
  • The source novel is a roman à clef about a young woman’s relationship with an older writer and Gere’s real-life age-gap marriage has heightened media interest in casting and how the film handles the subject.
