Richard Gere Stars In The Intiguing New Trailer For THE BENEFACTOR

Watch the new trailer for THE BENEFACTOR. Written and directed by Andrew Renzi, the dramatic thriller starring Richard Gere, Dakota Fanning and Theo James.

In THE BENEFACTOR, an iconoclastic philanthropist, Franny, survives a devastating accident that kills his two best friends, but four years later, he is still struggling with the guilt and pain.

When his late friends’ daughter Olivia resurfaces with a new husband and a baby on the way, Franny tries to overcome his emotional and physical suffering by inserting himself into their lives. Outrageously charming and limitlessly infuriating, Franny hands his young friends undreamt-of opportunities while attempting to micromanage their lives in ever more intrusive ways.

A bravura portrait of a larger-than-life personality in crisis, the film is writer-director Andrew Renzi’s debut feature film.

From Samuel Goldwyn Films, THE BENEFACTOR opens in theaters and on-demand this January 15, 2016.
