Richard Gere’s Longing follows Daniel Bloch, a wealthy New York bachelor who learns that his former girlfriend had a son after they separated 20 years earlier. The 2024 film is Savi Gabizon’s English-language remake of his earlier film; its trailer teases the consequences of Daniel’s discovery without revealing the full mystery.

Lionsgate’s trailer description calls the discovery “a startling secret from his past” and says Daniel is consumed by “the extraordinary twists of a new life he never could have imagined.” It also suggests that encounters reveal further layers of the mystery. Those descriptions set up the film’s premise, but do not establish the details of any later revelations.
Who made and stars in the film?
Longing is directed by Savi Gabizon, who also directed the earlier film on which this English-language version is based. Its principal cast includes Richard Gere as Daniel Bloch, Suzanne Clément as Rachel, and Diane Kruger as Alice.

- Dr Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic - content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past.
