Guru: first angry teaser for Pierre Niney’s new film
The star of Monte Cristo plays a toxic coach for Yann Gozlan.
How to bounce back from monumental box office success? After the 9.4 million entries of Count of Monte CristoPierre Niney chose to surprise the public with his new film, Gurufor which he reunited with the director ofAn ideal man and of Black boxYann Gozlan.
His character is again called Matthieu Vasseur, but this time he is a personal development coach. A charismatic and toxic coach, particularly inspired by Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson, with Tom Cruise. Niney presented the project a few months ago:
“The initial idea was to explore this ability to electrify crowds with speech, to put them in a trance and, willy-nilly, to take control. The character of Tom Cruise was a source of inspiration for the development of the scenario. With Yann we also talked a lot about a film with Jake Gyllenhaal, Night Call.”
In the first teaser, which has just been revealed, we first see an extract from a video by “coach Matt”, presenting his advice for accessing the “super power of persuasion“. An infallible method for learning to convince, provided you don’t get fooled by “cheap dopamine: video games, social networks, porn…“
Guru is the first production of Ninety Films, Pierre Niney’s company, in collaboration with Wy Productions. Marion Barbeau, Anthony Bajon and Holt McCallany complete the cast of the film, which will be released in theaters on January 28, 2026.
