On November 19, guest of the program “Le Late with Alain Chabat”, on TF1, Guillaume Canet had mentioned this film which he has been preparing for several years, and whose filming has been affected by the Covid-19 crisis. Alain Chabat then took the opportunity to tease his successor, reminding him of the cardboard that his “Mission Cleopatra“, 20 years ago already, in 2002.
Will Guillaume Canet beat Alain Chabat?
That evening, the former Nul had confessed to him: “Guillaume, in any case, I wish you all the best for your Asterix. Even if it’s true that it’s hot to pass after me“. And to add: “As my film is cult, I would not like to be in your shoes“. The film had made 14,559,509 admissions in France, placing itself at the time in second position among films of French nationality at the French box office, behind “The big mop”but in front of “Visitors”.
