Will the Splendid troop reform? For many years, fans hope his return to the cinema. And for good reason. Formed by Christian Clavier, Gérard Jugnot, Thierry Lhermitte, Michel Blanc, Josiane Balasko, Marie-Anne Chazel and Bruno Moynot, the merry band has established itself in cinemas with films with schoolboy humor that have become cult like The Bronzed (released 1978) then Tanned people go skiing (1979). While waiting to (perhaps) meet on the film sets, the actors were presented with the César of Honor at the last ceremony for French seventh art, on Friday, March 12, 2021.
A great recognition of the profession on which Michel Blanc returned, in the columns of Gala, Thursday, March 18, 2021. "It is our youth that we salute, not a bygone period, since we are still there, present and very much alive", he started. Asked about the possibility of filming a new comedy with his comrades, he said: "None of us has an idea worth doing for a Bronzés 4. It's not easy to design a good story where we all have equal roles. And then it would smell warm".
Michel Blanc regrets the third part of the Tanned
And for good reason, the actor has never hidden his regret about the third part of the adventures of the Tanned entitled Friends for life, released in 2006. "Honestly, I'm not proud of 3. I think there are some very good scenes, those of Christian (Clavier, editor's note) for example, but I don't find myself very interesting in it. I find there are motley mixtures. For example, anything revolving around this bear paw thing is absolutely artificial. But that's because we didn't write the way we wrote before, " had he lamented to the site Reviewer.fr, in 2013.
As for a possible fourth episode, he had already said: "I think we made it to the end. Three is a nice number. And then it was fun to see 'the tanned' young and old. Now if it's to see them at the hospice I'm not sure it's relevant. Or we do something else but we don't do a comedy. We're doing something the English way, but I'm not sure that interests my comrades. And in the end that would mean that we are grilling ourselves ".
