Written by the director, the screenplay is kept secret by the production for now. The story will revolve around a 14-year-old teenager.

Produced by Hélène Cases (Producer on the Move 2012 for the European Film Promotion – read the interview) for Lionceau Film, Le dernier coup de marteau benefits from a France 2 Cinéma coproduction, an advance on receipts from the CNC, pre-purchases by Canal+ and OCS, as well as backing from the Languedoc-Roussillon and PACA (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur) regions. The eight weeks of filming will end on September 30 and the film should be released in the spring of 2014. The French distribution and international sales (which will begin in Toronto) will be handled by Pyramide.
