EXCLUSIVE: Prolific French writer-director Remi Bezancon has kicked off production on detective comedy Murder In the Building starring Gilles Lellouche, Laetitia Casta and Guillaume Gallienne with SND on board for international sales.
The film centres on a Hitchcock movie buff and her husband, a famous author of thrillers, who suspect their new neighbour of killing his wife and launch a risky investigation.
It is now shooting in the Paris region until the end of May, produced by Jerico Films, which is behind La Famille Belier, the original French film upon which Oscar-winning Coda is based.
SND said the film will pay homage to Hitchcock’s classic detective stories.
“It is a clever and entertaining detective comedy that promises to be subtly humorous, meticulously directed,” said SND’s director of international sales Ramy Nahas. “It will appeal to wide audiences, and be a guilty pleasure for cinephiles who will enjoy the references, winks and stories-with-a-story.”
