Movie mogul Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the 1980 film, will serve as executive producer on the remake, with original writer and director Paul Schrader also on board as executive consultant, reports contactmusic.com.
A statement released by Bruckheimer reads: "With its signature noir aesthetic, 'American Gigolo' has remained a deeply entertaining, psychological thriller."
