Anne Le Ny Directs Former Co-Star Omar Sy in Domestic Thriller ‘Out of Control,’ A Reverse ‘Fatal Attraction’
'Out of Control,' starring Omar Sy, Elodie Bouchez, José Garcia and Vanessa Paradis screens in competition at this year's Tallinn Black Niights.
In 2011, French thesps Omar Sy and Anne Le Ny co-starred in the comedy hit “Untouchable.” Now, the two are reunited in the domestic thriller “ Out of Control,” with “Lupin” star Sy in one of the leading roles next to Elodie Bouchez (“All Your Faces,” “The Dreamlife of Angels”), José Garcia (“Totems,” “The Ax”) and Vanessa Paradis (“Knife + Heart,” “Café de Flore”), while Le Ny serves as director and Axella Cachman’s co-writer. “There was a real bond and warmth between us then, which was easy to revive 13 years later,” says Le Ny, who shared the screen time with Matt Damon in “Stillwater” and earned her first writing/helming kudos for her breakthrough movie “Those Who Remain” (2008). Ultimately, Le Ny feels that beyond the thriller tropes, “Out of Control” is “an empowering story of resilience where the main female character, although initially seduced by her boss, is able to push him away once she’s figured out his neurotic behavior,” I wanted to show that yes-it’s possible to confront your predator,” she says.
