Mathieu Kassovitz Set To Direct His First Movie In More Than A Decade With Live Action-Animation Hybrid ‘The Big War’


La Haine director Kassovitz is set to make English-language film The Big War, based on a graphic novel which reimagines WWII as enacted by animals.

EXCLUSIVE: La Haine filmmaker Mathieu Kassovitz is returning to the director’s chair to make English-language passion project The Big War, which will mark the first movie he has helmed in 13 years. “It is inspired by cult French graphic novel La Bete Est Mort e, which was written during the Second World War,” says the Frenchman, also known for starring in movies including Amélie and Munich and hit TV series Le Bureau Des Legendes. Upcoming Kassovitz is among the ensemble cast in Terrence Malick’s long-in-the-works Biblical drama The Way Of The Wind, which filmed back in 2019.
