“Thriller Fugitive with Harrison Ford”: After Monte Cristo, this ambitious French literary adaptation will be approached by an unexpected and modern way

After the success of Alexander Dumass’s adaptation (the number of Monte Cristo, three musketeers), this is a novelist Victor Hugo, who is valued by a French cinema.

Two major projects have begun around the trouble. Fed Kawai’s guidance, a little more revealed in the columns Term.

The director first explains to bring this novel to the screen: “For a long time, I have been dreaming of attacking a great literary fresco and especially on this masterpiece of Victor Hugo. “

I wanted to go back to the thriller but without transforming what I already did

“I started my career with the action trillers before giving it a comedy. Today I wanted to go back to the thriller, but the way I already did what I had already done – these ordinary men’s accounts fell into unusual situations.

When locked, I read the terrible – the company itself, because the novel is more than 2,000 pages – and I saw the opportunity to contact the movie theater that I like but through the work of the legacy. I would imagine an adaptation that would get a thriller structure that was a bit like the 1993 escape, Harrison Ford.“

Fred Kavayi promises a “very modern narrative process” to offer us an “unprecedented question”. The structure is approaching the series.

Thriller codes applied to this great story of adventure

“Of course, there will be a whole literary, dramatic dimension, the depth of the characters, and the social issues of the novel, which are unfortunately relevant. But I also want to point out the text of the often neglected aspect: it is an excellent history of adventure. I am going to emphasize this vein, rarely to find out in other adaptations. There will be thriller codes and dynamics (…), while the novel’s soul will remain faithful. “

We know that the casting will be XXL, consisting of Vincent Lindon, from Benjamin Laerne in the role of Tenardier, Camila Kotin performs her husband, Tahar Rahim, the role of Javerti, Merlant Is Fantine, Megan Northam.

The announcement of these two projects is part of a real trend that includes literary heritage, adapting to the classics, which is very well known to the general public. After the successes of the three musketeers and the success of Monte Cristo’s schedule, the French cinema continues to capture popular stories.
