‘Monte Cristo’ Actor Pierre Niney on Starring as a Toxic Superstar Coach in ‘Guru,’ Studiocanal’s Thriller Directed by Yann Gozlan (EXCLUSIVE)
Pierre Niney, one of France's most bankable actors and star of 'The Count of Monte Cristo,' stars as a toxic superstar coach in Yann Gozlan's 'Guru.'
After playing the original masked avenger in the Cesar-winning, smash hit “ The Count of Monte Cristo,” Pierre Niney is starring as a charismatic, yet toxic superstar coach in “Guru,” Yann Gozlan ‘s gripping psychological thriller which Studiocanal will introduce to buyers at the Cannes market this week. The initial idea was to explore that ability to electrify crowds with words and put people into a trance-like state and, willingly or unwillingly, to take control.The character of Tom Cruise was a source of inspiration when we developed the script. Asghar Farhadi is such an incredible director, and it’s really great script and, on top of that, a cast that, if I had had to do it myself, I think I wouldn’t have hesitated to choose Virginie Fira, Isabelle Hupert, Vincent Cassel and Catherine Deneuve.
