Who is involved in Longing?
Longing is an English remake of a 2017 Israeli film of the same name that was written and directed by Savi Gabizon. The 2017 version starred Shai Avivi, Asi Levi, Neta Riskin, and Ori Laizerouvich.
Gabizon also wrote and directed the new 2024 version of Longing. In addition to Gere and Kruger, the film stars Suzanne Clément (STAT, The Origin of Evil) as Daniel’s mother, Rachel. Kruger, meanwhile, plays Alice, the favorite teacher of Gere’s character’s son.
Daniel Bekerman is producing the film alongside Alexander Vinnitski and Neil Mathieson. Myles Nestel, Lisa Wilson, Sara Shaak, Matt Smith Lyons, Lee Nelson, David Tish, Oren Moverman Gabizon, Hussain Amarshi, Moshe Edery, Avraham Pirchi, and Chilik Michaeli serve as executive producers.
“Richard, he loves acting, and he loves actors. Sometimes, after he had done his role when we were shooting, he could go to his trailer, but he preferred to stay and give text to his partners because he loved being together with the actors and making the scene the best he could,” Gabizon said about working with Gere.
“So, I must tell you that to work with him, I felt blessed because he was really flexible and my partner all the way. He helped me to make this culture transition happen. We actually go scene after scene and try to think if this scene could happen in the United States in this way, or maybe we need to change it a bit. So he helped me a lot.
