A production of unprecedented dimensions
Mad Movies magazine had exclusive access to the making of this highly ambitious production and, starting with the February issue, is offering a behind-the-scenes tour on its pages. In this we can for example learn that Xavier Gens benefited from the advice of Gareth Evans (The raid, The raid 2), with whom he worked on the series London gang.
I consulted a lot with Gareth Evans, with whom I had worked on “Gangs of London” and “Havoc”. We talked a lot about technical challenges. I asked him how we could achieve certain shots, if they were technically feasible, and he systematically encouraged me. He told me that today we can do almost anything, if the budget allows it. Thanks to the support of Netflix, we were able to go far in the ambition of the show.

In terms of casting, this is the first collaboration between Bérénice Bejo and Xavier Gens, but the second for director Nassim Lyes. In fact, the actor recently seen in the Netflix comedy Nouveau riche was the star of Farangwhere he shined his impressive fighting skills.
