In spring 2019, Hugo Gélin's romantic comedy, My Unknown, won over critics and attracted nearly 600,000 spectators in theaters. A great success for this young director, who then participated in the major Netflix production, Lupine.
Four years earlier, the same screenwriter and director hired Omar Sy in Tomorrow it all beginswhich made him a hit, driven by the enormous popularity of the actor post-Untouchables : 3.2 million admissions recorded in France, and 45 million dollars in worldwide revenue!
When embarking on the adventure Lupinein 2021, Hugo thus confided in First : “Omar called me and asked me to come join him. He was filming the first three episodes of the series with Louis Leterrier. Lupine. And he asked me to come and do the last three of part 2. I went there without knowing the script, nor having seen a single episode. It was just on the promise of finding Omar. It was very exciting, just seeing him as a modern Lupine..”
Since this adventure which was also a hit – season 3 broadcast last October has once again beaten viewing records-, the duo decided to meet up again, again for Netflix: we have just learned that they were concocting together the romantic comedy French Lover.
Omar Sy will play Abel Camara, the biggest star of the moment, who crosses paths with Marion (Sara Giraudeau), the girl next door. None of them suspect that this will be the start of a great love story. A pitch that recalls Love at first sight in Notting Hillan international cult romantic comedy.
And guess who will be the artistic producer? Hugo Gélin, who entrusted the production to young director Nina Rives. Pascale Arbillot and Alban Ivanov will also be in the cast.
