Hello General! There is something dark in the heart of Bernard Farsi. The indestructible Commissioner Guibert of Taxi Saga was a guest on the Jordan de Luxe C8 show this Tuesday, March 12th. And it’s worth noting that he had a bad time filming Taxi 5, the latest iteration of the Luc Besson franchise, this time directed by Frank Gastambide. The only historical actor in the saga to join forces with Edouard Montute, he explains that he felt strange to this new generation.

“This is not my family anymore”

Released 11 years after the 4th installment, Taxi 5 attracted 3.65 million viewers and was among the top 10 hits of the year at the French box office of 2018. Its performance at the box office, however, was less than Taxi 4. It attracted 4.56 million people upon its release. A figure that is certainly impressive, but is already behind the previous installment, which attracted 6.15 million viewers.

The latest news is that Taxi 6 is not on the cards. But we must never insult the future…
