Richard Gere has joined the cast of Amelia, a biopic of the legendary aviator set to begin shooting this month.

Gere will star alongside Hilary Swank - in the title role - in the Mira Nair film, which will tell of the tumultuous relationship between the pioneering Earhart and her publicist George Putnam (Gere).

Oscar-winner Swank signed for the project last year while Avalon Pictures took advantage of the postponement of Shantaram to contract Mira Nair to direct.

Swank will play the pilot as her flight to fame began, when Putnam was engaged by socialite Amy Guest in 1927 to set up a non-stop flight across the Atlantic.

When Guest realised she was not capable of completing the journey herself, Putnam recruited Earhart, who had set the world altitude record for a female pilot in 1922.
