In 2002, Fabien Onteniente took us into the world of soccer after learning about the jet set and going camping. Worn by Gerard Lanvin, Isabel Nantes, Laurent Deutsch and Stormy Buggs, Nicolas Anelka’s ersatz 3 Zero scored a solid box office win with 1,271,238 releases.
Everything was in place for the team to play extra time, but the fans had to be patient while the director livened up the dance floors (disco) or entered the world of betting (turf). But the rematch is coming very soon as 4 Zero is fast approaching our theatres.
Release Date: When is 4 Zero coming out?
Originally expected on April 9, 2025, the release of 4 Zero has been delayed by a little over 4 months and will therefore be visible from October 23. During the All Saints’ Day holiday and – above all – the second day of the Champions League match between PSG and PSV Eindhoven, and a few days before the Clasico against OM at the Orange Vélodrome. Which is probably not a coincidence.
Casting: Who Plays 4 Zero?
Twelve years after the first opus, Fabien Onteniente is still a coach. This time in a supporting script by Antonin Furlon (director of Chasse gardee). 2002 owners Gerard Lanvin, Isabelle Nantes and Stormy Buggs will again be in the line-up, along with several newcomers.
Including Didier Bourdon, star of 4 zero transfer windows after back-to-back successes for Chasse gardee and Cocorico. Next to him: Kaaris, Shy’m, Paul Deby, Mamadou Haïdara and YouTuber Mohamed Henni. And, as in the first opus, several personalities from the world of football who will play their own role.
Starting with Guy Rui, Ryde or Paul Pogba, who we see in the trailer, along with certain players from the Paris Saint-Germain team, including Marquinhos, Vitina, Presnel Kimpembe and Bradley Barkola. But not Karim Benzema, whose presence was announced in 2022.
Story: What would 4 zero say?
“Football has changed”– said Kylian Mbappé. And that, of course, will be the heart of 4 Zero’s intrigue, pitting two generations of agents against each other. On the one hand, Alain Colonna (Gérard Lanvin), forced out of retirement to help a nugget discovered by his nephew sign for PSG, his dream club, without falling into the clutches of DZ (Kaaris), whose arm is like that. As long as his reputation is bad.
By calling his contacts in the industry. Also to his brother Jose Pinto (Didier Bourdon), who sees in this case an opportunity to save his Portuguese restaurant from bankruptcy. But also dressing up and making accents.
As in 2002, the goal will be to expand the line by bringing fiction into reality. So, Paris Saint-Germain will again be a partner in this film. With scenes shot at their training center and Parc des Princes during their match against Rennie last February. Now all that remains is to know its final tally at the box office. and find out whether 5 will result in zero.
