Nearly 23 years after its death, the legend Gilles Villeneuve will live again with the large screen.
"It is a question of a film about the life of Gilles Villeneuve", yesterday confirmed with the Newspaper of Montreal the spokesman of the racing driver Jacques Villeneuve, Yann Lefort.
Jacques Villeneuve will be besides in Montreal next Wednesday to announce the details of the production, at the time of a press conference having to take place at his restaurant, Newtown, street Crescent, in the presence of many cultural and sporting journalists.
"what one said to us, it is that it will be a Hollywood production and that the producers apparently have at the head a large size of the realization and very known actors", specifies Yann Lefort.
"Jacques will announce the details of his implication in the project the next week", concluded the spokesman.
The cinematographic project will be apparently controlled by the house of Toronto-native production Capri Films.
It is besides the latter which yesterday launched the invitation to the journalists for the press conference.
The producers of Capri Films currently work on next film of Terry Gilliam (Brazil, Twelve Monkeys) and are at the origin of documentary on Metallica, Some Kind of Monster, left last year.
Yesterday, the house of production did not want to comment on the advertisement of next Wednesday.
An old project
The owner of the museum Gilles-Villeneuve, joint yesterday by the Newspaper of Montreal with Berthierville, was not surprised of such an advertisement.
"Its life is a true film scenario. The only problem, it is that that finishes badly ", begins Alain Belhumeur, recalling that a film on the legend of the motor race had failed to be born at the beginning of the Nineties.
"They was about ten after its death, remembers it. I have even newspaper cuttings announcing that the role of Gilles Villeneuve would be given to Michael J Fox ", tells it.
Until the year spent, the project of film was always in the air.
"the last with me to have spoken is Gaston Parent, his former manager. It is deceased last year."
