Gaspard Ulliel died on January 19 after a terrible skiing accident in Savoie. Since then, his family, his friends and the world of cinema have been trying to overcome this sudden and unjust mourning. We were also able to see a parade of stars during his funeral, to pay tribute to him. Now, the time has come to relaunch the projects he was working on before his death.
This is particularly the case for the series Tikkunfor Canal +, a TV adaptation of the book silver and blood signed Fabrice Arfi, journalist at Mediapart. Filming was interrupted after the death of Gaspard Ulliel but the production, which incurred costs, has since found a replacement, says the magazine Closer. Indeed, it would therefore be Niels Schneider who was chosen to succeed him. The actor, who had replied to his late colleague in the film A people and their king (released in 2017), however, was not the only one in the ranks since his comrades Pierre Niney and Benjamin Voisin would also have been contacted by the production of the series.
Before being able to return to the film set, the production of Tikkun was however forced to respect a few rules. According to the magazine, the choice of Niels Schneider required “three party agreement” To know : “the broadcaster, Canal+, the director, Xavier Giannoli, then that of Vincent Lindon, the second leading role in the series, still upset by the disappearance of his colleague.“At the end of January, the same magazine was already talking about the pending filming of this series. The actor still had 84 days of filming and was to return to the sets on Monday January 31, we could then read. “The team, very shocked, does not yet know which actor will succeed him“, added Closer. This is now a problem solved and the filming of Tikkun should resume”in the next weeks“.
Gaspard Ulliel, who will be entitled to a fine tribute at the next Cesar ceremony, had other projects under his arm. Indeed, viewers will be able to see it next March on Disney + in the series Moon Knight.
