7 million receptions: will the best comedy of the 90s deserve a third part?

Les Inconnus, the iconic comic trio that delighted the public in the 90s, will they return to the darkroom? Their last film appearance was in the 2014 sequel Three Brothers. In total, these 2 comedies brought in 9 million viewers (6.8 Three Brothers and 2.3 The Return)!

Last November, Didier Bourdon, Bernard Campagne and Pascal Legitimus met on TF1 for a special broadcast around their most memorable sketches.

If the show did not have the expected success, the strangers are going to reform in the dark rooms for the time of the new comedy.

SATTOUF OF

This mi-mi, this ra-ra, this is a miracle! Almost 10 years after Les Trois frères, le retour, Les Inconnus will be in cinemas!

“There is a project for the cinema, I can’t talk too much about it yet. I will let you know.”Due to the issuance of building permits in February 2022, Didier Bourdon told us.

Last May, the BoxOfficePro website indicated that Riad Sattouf would be directing the project. After Les Beaux gosses (2009) and Jacky in the Kingdom Girls (2014), the director will finally return behind the camera to make his 3rd film with Strangers.

While we do know the director of the trio project, we still don’t know what the film’s plot or title will be. We’ll have to wait a little longer before we know more about the return of the unknown.

That’s why Riyad Sattouf will find Dide Bourdon, with whom he collaborated 9 years ago in Jackie’s Kingdom of Girls. Note that the author is also known for his successful comics Les Cahiers d’Esther and L’Arabe du Futur.

“It’s going to be a little crazy. We’re going to play multiple characters. It’s a pretty good idea. Riyad likes that we can play completely different characters — even if that means we don’t recognize ourselves, sometimes, at the time. The movie”Didier Bourdon said at the microphone of BFM TV.

“It could be very beautiful. It’s a bit like a junction between our two worlds. But it’s going to be a Riyad Satouf film first, let’s say The Unknown. It’s not an Unknown film, it’s going to be a little bit more. Fabulous.”he concluded.

Three brothers in 3 miles?

Is Les Inconus also thinking about reviving the Latour brothers at the 3rd Circle in cinema? When asked by BFM TV in June 2022 promoting The Perfect Man, Didier Bourdon mentioned the topic.

“There is an idea, the third part of the three brothers. This would be the last part, it would be the three grandfathers. We would cross out the ‘brothers’ and put in the ‘grandfathers’.”. The director of the film may be Xavier Daringer,” said the actor.

However, the latter specifies that it is “From a similar idea in the air”And that Les Inconnus, the directors of the first two opuses of Les Trois frères, will not be directing this 3rd feature film, “To be truly free from this constraint”.

“The third film would be a more adventurous part, we would leave France. I think Bernard Campagne and Pascal Legitimus are open to that.”he concluded.
