WATCH: ‘The Benefactor’ New Clip With A Desperate Richard Gere Begs for Pills

The Huffington Post got an exclusive clip from 2016’s The Benefactor (aka Franny), Theo isn’t in this clip, Richard Gere does bang-up performance around the corner.

He plays Franny, a pill popper still addicted to the meds he took four years ago, after surviving a car crash that killed his two best friends. When his late friends’ pregnant daughter arrives with her husband, Franny inserts himself into their lives in a misguided attempt to eradicate his distress.
Co-starring Dakota Fanning, Theo James and Cheryl Hines, The Benefactor opens in the U.S. in theaters and on demand Jan. 15, 2016. You can pre-ordering iTunes now. You can get HD or SD.

In Italy they kept the original title Franny and it opens Monday Dec 23rd.
Watch a scene in which Franny attempts to secure more pills from the pharmacy he frequents. Let’s just say things don’t go his manic way.
