Christian Clavier + 10.3 million records: 19 years later, this reunion is possible, but not for the movie you’re thinking of

Reunion for Splendid! 3 years after the Honorary César, the group posed on the cover of Paris Match magazine and took part in several questions.

Of course, there was talk of a possible reunion for filming. The gang known for the successful Les Bronzés saga, consisting of Christian Clavier, Gérard Junot, Thierry Lhermitte, Michel Blanc, Jossien Balasco, Marie-Anne Chazelle and Bruno Monot, doesn’t give up, but there’s a but!

“Doing things together, yes, but…”

“Doing things together, yes, but not Les Bronzés– explained Michel Blanc in the columns Paris match. and added: “We don’t know how to do this humor anymore. It was almost fifty years ago that the world evolved.“

For Marie-Anne Chazelle, the problem is writing in groups: “We don’t know how to write together anymore. And we’ll never find the time.”

For the record, Patrice Leconte mentioned the idea that the group could shoot a movie at Ephad! In November 2018, the director of the cult trilogy said:My secret dream is to do Les Bronzés 4 in a nursing homehe confided. A bit similar end of day from Julien Duvivier In the actors’ retirement home, but not only. And why not shoot the film entirely in black and white?“.

Michel Blanc has already indicated recently that he would be without her if the project were to go ahead. “No, I won’t participate, it’s over. This is just my opinion, beware!“, in an interview with Le JDD from October 2023.

Bronze finished! But that’s just me, beware!

and added: “This will hit the wall. First, I’m not crazy about 3, so 4 is out of the question. At our age, we seem to be hanging on branches. Jean-Claude Deuce, the public has a desire because films are constantly on television. I am no longer him physically, morally and artistically.“

Another project with a new generation of comedians?

The cast of Splendid could also present a film with a new generation like Fife’s gang. “It’s true, I’m telling myself in my head that there will be something to do between the cast of my gang and them. But you need the right idea…” said Philip Lachaux.

Let’s remind you that Christian Clavier, Gerard Juno and Marie-Anne Chazelle have already played with the group in Fifi.
