Richard Gere has signed to star in a new movie called "The Gerbil Whisperer." Filming is set to begin next month in Hollywood. Most of the movie will be shot on set, with the only location filming scheduled for Gere's favorite "tunnel of love."
Hollywood is scrambling to find a sufficient number of co-stars for the movie, as they seem to have a very short life expectancy. Casting director Von Inuendo said that "we find a cute little Gerbil and Richard wants to take it home for the weekend to get to know his co-star. The damn thing always seems to die of a drug overdose!"
"I'm really afraid that the government needs to take a look at drug use among gerbils and that they need to do something about it."
The movie is not expected to be a blockbuster. In fact, it is an independent film being shot on a shoestring budget.
