The Count Of Monte Cristo Producer Dimitri Rassam On Lessons Learned, Hybrid Int'l Distribution And English-Language Plans As Swashbuckler Wows Cannes

Rassam is no stranger to the Cannes red carpet having regularly accompanied his actress mother Carole Bouquet in his early 20s, before mounting the festival’s famed steps in his own right as the producer of The Little Prince and co-producer of L’Immensità. Co-written by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière and directed by Martin Bourboulon, the swashbuckling Musketeer dramas gathered a starry A-list French and European cast, topped by François Civil, Eva Green, Vicky Krieps, Vincent Cassel, Lyna Khoudri, Louis Garrel, Romain Duris and Pio Marmaï. He is joined by rising young actors Anamaria Vartolomei, who comes with the added kudos of being a Chanel ambassadress, and Vassili Schneider, alongside established names Laurent Lafitte, Anaïs Demoustier and Italy’s Pierfrancesco Favino.
