Following “Marie’s Story” and “Take a Chance on Me,” French director Jean-Pierre Améris is reteaming with Paris-based Indie Sales on his next movie, “It Takes Two to Tango,” a romantic comedy starring Valérie Lemercier (“Aline”, “Nicholas on Holiday”).
Currently filming in Geneva and France, the film also stars Gérard Darmon (“King”) and Patrick Timsit (“Brother and Sister”). The plot revolves around Antoine Toussaint (Darmon), a famous and disillusioned 70-year-old crooner who meets Victoire (Lemercier), a good-natured fan with a few loose wires, while on a train to Geneva where he plans to end his life. This unlikely encounter thwarts all Antoine’s plans, for better or worse.
“It Takes Two to Tango” is produced by Denis Carot and Sophie Revil at France’s Escazal Films and will be released in France by ARP in April 2025.
“We are excited to re-team with Jean-Pierre Améris and bring his universe and heart-warming characters to audiences around the world,” said Indie Sales’ CEO Nicolas Eschbach.
The shingle is launching sales on the movie at fall festivals and markets. The outfit is at Venice with the Palestinian film “Happy Holidays,” which is playing in the Horizons section and will next play at Toronto. The film is directed by Scandar Copti, whose feature debut, “Ajami,” earned a Golden Camera at Cannes in 2019 and went on to represent Palestine in the Oscar race.
