Woody Harrelson will play an ageing bisexual escort in the upcoming sequel to 1980's American Gigolo. His role will pick up where Richard Gere's character left off, according to the writer/director Paul Shrader. "This will be quite a transformation for him, from the hairpiece and his manner to the clothes he wears," said Shrader. The film, which is scheduled to begin production next week, also stars Willem Dafoe, Lilly Tomlin, Kristen Scott Thomas and Lauren Bacall.
