Taxi 5, and after? Will there be a sequel? While Taxi 5 is broadcast this evening on TF1, here is news of a possible Taxi 6. We asked the question to Malik Bentalha. And the news is not good for fans of the saga…
3.7 million admissions, 10th biggest success of the year in France, between Black Panther and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Taxi 5 was one of the hits of the year 2018 in France.
While TF1 is broadcasting the latest episode of the saga tonight, in this case number 5, is episode 6 possible at the cinema?
The answer is no ! The project of a 6th part is not at all topical. This is what Malik Bentalha told us, to whom we asked the question during the interviews for his new film, Jack Mimoun and the secrets of Val Verde.
“No there will be no Tax’6, Taxi 6. No, no. We (Franck Gastambide and himself, editor’s note) took the taxi out to enjoy, to have a little childhood dream, but no, it will stop at 5“, he told us without making the suspense last longer on a possible sequel.
Taxi, stop or still? According to the latest news, the answer is… stop!
Last guest on the show Saw again on France 5, Franck Gastambide, co-screenwriter and director of Taxi 5, had been questioned on the subject. He had made it pretty clear that this had no chance of happening in the next few months. “It’s not in the plans, but once again it was a great success and a great adventure so why not?“
With our colleagues from Tele-Leisurethe answer is more firm: “It was never relevant. Fake News. Why not one day, but it’s not in the plans at all.”
Malik Bentalha will star in Jack Mimoun et les secrets de Val Verde on October 12, his first co-production.
