After the success of “Taxi 5” and the “Validé” series, Franck Gastambide is currently working on his new project. It is rumored that he will soon be showing the remake of the film “Wages of Fear” by Henri-Georges Clouzot released in 1953 with Yves Montand and Charles Vanel in particular. This critically acclaimed feature film, which had also won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival, is about to be redesigned by French director Julien Leclercq and Franck Gastambide and will star Alban Lenoir, Ana Girardot and the rapper Sofia Zermani.
The screenplay for this film, which should be released in 2024, will be based on the eponymous novel by Georges Arnaud (1949), telling the story of four men ready to risk their lives by conveying trucks filled with nitroglycerine, in order to earn a substantial bounty.

This cinematographic project will mark the great return of Franck Gastambide to our screens. Rather discreet, the actor and director confided in March 2022 on his invisible handicap: dyslexia. “I have an invisible disability, dyslexia, which has ruined my life a bit. […] I never said to myself that I would have the skills to be a screenwriter, I who have always been last in class. What I heard the most when I was little was ‘what are we going to do with him'” he confided in the show “50’ Inside”. to admit that he is frightened by the idea of ”passing on” this handicap to his future children: “I am so afraid of having children who have my handicap, who may have the complexities that I encountered in my life… “.
While waiting to become a dad, Franck Gastambide devotes himself to a cause that is dear to him: the animal cause. The one who has been a dog trainer in the past has indeed shared an important message to his subscribers on Instagram. “Rescued from the street, they are waiting for you at the Ranch Beldi Sterilization in Marrakech to be adopted,” he captioned a photo of him where he appears with a dog in his arms. A real call for adoption for people who want to have a four-legged friend in their life.
