Lhe Unknowns are about to make their big comeback. In any case, this was confirmed by Pascal Légitimus on the antenna of RFM this weekend, suggesting that the trio was meeting again to return to the fore. “We are currently seeing each other, we are coagulating our energies for two, three projects that I cannot talk about yet…”
The comedian specifies all the same that a comedy is well in preparation with “Philippe Godeau as producer”. “A director is writing for us,” he continues. These are two universes that will come together, that of the Unknowns and of this director, whom I cannot name, because we have not yet signed at the bottom of a sheet… I think it should appear next year “.
The Unknowns haven’t returned to the big screen since. The Three Brothers, the returnin 2014, which had been badly received by critics, despite a big success in theaters with more than two million admissions – but far from the 6.5 million of the first opus The three brothers in 1995, released when Les Inconnus was at the height of its glory.

For Pascal Légitimus, these downtimes are rather breaks to come back better. “We never left, he explained on RFM. We’re still here, except that we’re a little older, we have less energy, but in any case, we’ve been working for almost thirty years. At one point, we stopped because we had nothing more to say, so we went fallow, as they say. And there, that’s it, we have ideas, little odds and ends, we come back quietly…”
In these “tinkerings”, a film project, but also a big TV show in the presence of comedians, who would come back to their history and their success around archive images. Without forgetting a show project around revisited sketches, an idea that is close to the heart of Didier Bourdon, as he confided last January on the antenna of RTL.
It remains to convince its partners, in particular Bernard Campan, who is not very keen. “People would like Les Inconnus to reappear on stage, as they were thirty years ago, it is not possible, he judged in The Parisian. I don’t believe in a reunion on stage. I know that my comrades would like it, but me, for the moment, I am not convinced. The fans are crossing their fingers…
