Arclight Films Boards Paul Schrader\u2019s \u2018Oh, Canada\u2019 Starring Jacob Elordi, Richard Gere (EXCLUSIVE): <\/h1>\n

Arclight Films has boarded Paul Schrader\u2019s \u201cOh, Canada\u201d starring Jacob Elordi and Richard Gere, and will launch sales at the upcoming European Film Market.<\/p>\n

Along with Elordi and Gere, who worked with Schrader on his cult movie \u201cAmerican Gigolo\u201d more than 40 years ago, the cast of \u201cOh Canada\u201d also includes Michael Imperioli and Uma Thurman. WME Independent is co-repping domestic rights with Gonzales. <\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Canada\u201d is based on the 2021 searing novel \u201cForegone,\u201d written by bestselling author Russell Banks. The film depicts the story of famed documentary filmmaker Leonard Fife, an American leftist who fled to Canada as a young man to avoid the Vietnam War draft.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Fife battles cancer in Montreal during his twilight years, he agrees to a final interview,\u201d the film\u2019s synopsis reads. \u201cIntent on revealing his long-guarded secrets and demystifying his mythologized life, Fife\u2019s shocking confession unfolds amidst the presence of his wife, Emma (Thurman), his devoted former student Malcolm MacLeod (Imperioli), and a team of filmmakers capturing this profound moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

The film marks Schrader\u2019s second adaptation of Banks\u2019 work, following \u201cAffliction\u201d starring Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek.<\/p>\n

Currently in post, \u201cOh, Canada\u201d is produced by David Gonzales, who had worked with Schrader on \u201cMaster Gardener,\u201d alongside Tiffany Boyle (\u201cJoyland\u201d), Luisa Law (\u201cThe Accidental Getaway Driver\u201d), Scott LaStaiti (\u201cKandahar\u201d) and Meghan Hanlon. <\/p>\n

Arclight Films\u2019 Hamilton, Ying Ye, Ryan Hamilton and Brian Beckmann are executive producers alongside Terri Garbarini, Tom Ogden, Andrea Bucko, Kyle Stroud, Elsa Ramo, Oliver Ridge, Andrea Chung, Kathryn M. Moseley and Eyal Rimmon for Sipur Studios. Production was completed in October in upstate New York under an interim SAG-AFTRA agreement.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, Canada\u201d also reunites Arclight Films with Schrader after his award-winning psychological drama \u201cFirst Reformed\u201d starring Ethan Hawke, Amanda Seyfried and Cedric the Entertainer. The A24 movie earned Schrader an Oscar nomination for best original screenplay.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the incredible talent of Paul Schrader at the helm and our superb cast led by Richard Gere, Jacob Elordi, Uma Thurman and Michael Imperioli, the stars have truly aligned,\u201d said Arclight Films chairman Gary Hamilton.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to team up with Paul again following his acclaimed trilogy including \u2018First Reformed.\u2019 He is at the top of his game,\u201d Hamilton continued. <\/p>\n

Arclight Films\u2019 prestige roster films also includes \u201cAssassination\u201d starring Viggo Mortensen, Al Pacino, Shia LaBeouf and John Travolta, written by David Mamet and directed by Barry Levinson; and the Sundance title \u201cFairyland\u201d starring Scoot McNairy and Emilia Jones and produced by Sofia Coppola.<\/p>\n
