New broadcast of Do not tell anyone, Tuesday June 2, 2020, on M6. The opportunity to take an interest in one of the most impressive scenes in this film. It is undoubtedly about the chase between David Beck, played by François Cluzet, and the police on the Paris ring road. The hero runs between the cars and thus causes a gigantic pileup. For having the right to shoot this scene, the director of Do not tell anyone, Guillaume Canet, had to lower its ambitions. While he hoped to be able to block the device for two days, the prefecture of police and the town hall of Paris only granted him a few hours between 3 am and 6 pm, on the quietest Sunday of the year. So, for fifteen hours, stuntmen, actors and cameras took possession of this stretch of road very busy the rest of the time.
Guillaune Canet had no room for error

Great pressure for the young director who had no room for error and who wanted at all costs to shoot on this Parisian ring road. "For questions of credibility and dramatization of the action, Paris was the setting"explains the daily again. Guillaume Canet's arguments were convincing sincehe obtained this famous authorization. During the filming, some tourists or Parisians who were still present in the capital on the weekend of August 15, rushed along the ring road to try to see some great actors who play in this film.
