Mathieu Kassovitz, finally back as director
A month ago, on the occasion of the release of the comedy The kings of the trackwe had discussed with Mathieu Kassovitz and we asked him about not producing his share of fiction films for more than 10 years. His latest feature film was released in 2011, Order and morality. Since then, if it weren’t for episodes of Office of Legends, the actor no longer worked behind the camera. And the announced project with Daisy Ridley was actually just a rumor denied by the person concerned.
Mathieu Kassovitz then explained to us that the failure of his latest film marked him, but also that the evolution of social networks meant that the cinema he likes to make (political cinema) had “no real reason to exist anymore“.

An original approach that currently requires funding. The project would needa budget of approximately 30 million dollars. For the moment, Mathieu Kassovitz and Caroline Thompson are “in the planning stage and are looking for financiersBut they have already seen Aton Soumache, a producer specializing in animation, join them. Their goal would then be to start production by the end of the year. And the director (who should also star in the film) has already discussed with American and British actors.
