Oss 117: no 4th film in sight … for the moment

The screenwriter Jean-François Halin has been working on the subject for some time, but for the time being no project announced.

Six years after the release of Oss 117: red alert in black Africa,, rebroadcast this evening on M6, the question arises: Is a fourth film still possible? Bath’s Hubert Hubert Bonner Agent, embodied by Jean Dujardinwill he one day surface in the cinema?

In October 2019, when the third opus was still in production, the screenwriter Jean-François Halin suggested the idea of ​​a possible Oss 117 4 :: “I have to think about what I want to do now. Why not a fourth oss and take advantage of the attention is diverted on the third to prepare it quietly. Why not? I already have an idea“He said. Except that 6 years have passed and still nothing.

Yet, Jean Dujardin always seems ready and he entrusted to Nice morning his attachment to the role (in August 2021): “I can continue to have fun with Oss, but it depends on Jean-François Halin. My pleasure and my desire will not be enough, because we need to have a story, a point of view, and this little step aside, a way of seeing life.”

The actor therefore did not close the door, but recalled that the impulse had to come from the screenwriter. Gold, Jean-François Halin does not seem in a hurry.

In recent weeks, on the YouTube channel Moodkids TVhe recalled that “For the second film there were already a lot of expectations, but for the third I was in the impression of being in a pot for 5 years, cooking, it was horrible! The responsibilities were too large and I had the impression that it was a bit unfeasible. ”

Suddenly, he admits that he takes his time: “I put a lot of time writing, I am not very ordered. I rather write dialogues and shots then I then try to see if a story emerges. ”

Suffice to say that if a fourth episode should be done, it would not be for immediately.

End of Red alert in black Africa allowed the possibility of a return of Hubert Bath’s Bonneror even Agent 1001 interpreted by Pierre Niney. However, its director Nicolas Bedos was very clear to Allociné: “But no, there was absolutely no follow-up in the pipes at that time. Me it is a desire that I had, to open up to the future. But for free. It turns out that as a spectator-and I spend my life thinking about what I would like as a spectator-I like being made a promise of something. Even if it is dishonest (laughs).”

It should be noted that despite the wait, Oss 117: red alert in black Africa did not meet the same success as his predecessors, attracting only 1.6 million spectators in theaters – but in a post -Cavid context – against 2.3 million entrances For each of the first two films.

The future ofOss 117 4 is therefore very uncertain today.
