Fair Play is shooting in Prague
Benoît Magimel, Marion Cotillard, Jérémy Rénier, Eric Savin and Mélanie Doutey...nice cast for Fair Play, Lionel Bailliu’s first fiction feature. This psychological thriller about moral harassment in the workplace is consistent with the director’s previous works which earned him many prizes all over the world (Clermont-Ferrand, Cork, Valence, Toronto, Palm Springs, Aspen), including nominations for the French Cesars 2003 and the Oscars 2004 (with his second short, Squash). This time, manipulation and tense relationships between five colleagues, Jean-Claude (Benoît Magimel), Nicole (Marion Cotillard), Alexandre (Jérémy Rénier), Charles (Eric Savin), and Béatrice (Mélanie Doutey), will reach an apex during a canyoning seminar. The set settled on the 18th of May in Prague ; the crew will spend six weeks in the Czech Republic before a final week in France (in the Alpes-Maritimes).
Fair Play, a Les Films Manuel Munz production (70 %), is co-produced by two European partners, Entre Chien et Loup(Belgium, 20 %) and Okko Productions (Czech Republic, 10 %). The €5.3M budget includes €400,000 from the Eurimages support fund. TF1 International will handle international sales. In France, TFM will release this film during the first semester of 2006.
