Richard Gere and Diane Lane Reunite in "Nights in Rodanthe"



The romantic drama Nights in Rodanthe is the third film Richard Gere and Diane Lane have done together, and at the Los Angeles press conference for the Warner Bros movie it was obvious the two enjoy each other's company. Although Gere joked that he's always looking for projects he can't do with her, he was serious when he said it's obvious they should do everything together. "Every time I read something it's always Diane, isn't it? I read and go, 'It's Diane, isn't it?'"
Only the fact they're both very picky has kept them from doing even more films together. "There were a couple of times that have been close calls that didn't happen," said Lane who recalled Gere was at one point interested in co-starring in a film set in Antarctica. "I remember you saying 'Bring Eleanor, she'll like the Antarctic.' I said, 'Wait, let me get this right. We'll be in an ice breaker, on a big metal ship, for how many weeks?'"

They decided against that film, but agreed on doing Nights in Rodanthe. In the romantic tale based on the Nicholas Sparks novel, Lane plays a mother of two trying to decide whether or not to let her wayward husband come back home. While taking care of her friend's bed and breakfast for a weekend she meets a handsome but troubled doctor (Gere) who captures her heart.
