Pierre Niney recently garnered attention with his César Award nomination for Best Actor, expressing gratitude to fans on social media. He celebrated the recognition from high school students for his role in The Count of Monte Cristo and is now moving forward with new projects, including the film Gourou, where he acts and co-produces. Niney is reuniting with director Yann Gozlan and has hinted at potential future collaborations, maintaining a buzz around his upcoming ventures.
Pierre Niney’s Recent Triumphs
Pierre Niney has been making waves recently! With his nomination for the César Award for Best Actor—which ultimately went to Karim Leklou for The Roman de Jim—the star of The Count of Monte Cristo has been actively expressing his heartfelt gratitude to his fans on social media.
In a reflective post, he wrapped up his Monte Cristo journey, which was beautifully celebrated with a César from high school students. Accompanied by cherished photographs, he wrote: “I will carry these memories with me to the sea, the only place on Earth where everything meets the horizon. Live, be happy. Until fate perhaps brings us together again… Edmond Dantès. Thank you for all these adventures!”
Looking Ahead: New Projects and Collaborations
Shortly after the César ceremony, he took to X to share his enthusiasm: “THANK YOU for all your beautiful messages! I am incredibly proud of our costume and set teams who worked tirelessly to showcase their expertise! The way you received the film is our greatest reward for life. Here’s to other dreams… See you soon.”
Regarding the César from high school students, he expressed, “This particular award warms my heart! Over 2000 high school students voted and chose MONTECRISTO as Best Film of the Year! THANK YOU to everyone!”
As he closes the chapter on The Count of Monte Cristo, what’s next for Pierre Niney? He is set to star in a film titled Gourou, which has just wrapped up filming.
Pierre Niney has shared sneak peeks from the Gourou set, fueling excitement for this new cinematic endeavor based in Las Vegas. Reuniting with director Yann Gozlan four years after Boîte noire, this film promises to offer a unique look into the world of coaching, showcasing the toxic rise of a personal development ‘guru.’
Importantly, Niney is not just acting in this film; he is also one of its co-producers, collaborating with WY Productions and his own Ninety Films (Wassim Béji, Pierre Niney, Marc-Henri de Busschère).
This marks the third partnership between Yann Gozlan and Pierre Niney, following their successful films Un homme idéal (670,000 admissions) and Boîte noire (1.2 million admissions).
What other projects might be on the horizon for this talented actor? While multiple projects have been rumored, the details remain shrouded in mystery. Could it be Irrésistibles, directed by Hugo Gélin, known for Comme des frères? This film is described as a choral piece set in the world of music.
Another possibility is Feuilleman, a superhero narrative currently in development by Prime Video since June 2023. Fans are also curious about a film related to Marc from La Flamme and Le Flambeau, where it would be hard to imagine the absence of Dr. Juiphe, given his popularity in the series led by Jonathan Cohen.
