During the festival, the actor of “American Gigolo” and “Pretty Woman” will hold a meeting with movie buffs to discuss his decades-long career. The festival will also screen a restored version of “Days of Heaven,” a movie directed by Terrence Malick in 1978 that starred a young Gere.
The Rome event, a recent addition to the international festival circuit, runs from October 27 through November 4.
