Los Angeles [US], May 1 (ANI): Richard Gere and Diana Silvers have been roped in to feature in Oscar winner Edward Zwick's romantic drama Asymmetry, which is based on Lisa Halliday's acclaimed 2018 novel of the same name.

Asymmetr, tells the story of a young editorial assistant in New York, Alice (Silvers), who comes upon world-renowned 70-year-old author Ezra (Gere) in Central Park one day. 'Their one moment of eye contact sparks a connection that leads them both down a life-changing rabbit hole, where they create a private world just for two. Ezra, famous for his audacious work, finds someone with whom he can be openly vulnerable, and Alice finds the courage to explore her own aspirations as a writer. Until it is all put at risk when their secret relationship is exposed.'
