Penned by Nicolas Pleskof (off the back of La Fémis’ Script Workshop) and Elsa Marpeau (of the Capitaine Marleau series), the story revolves around Jeanne, a brilliant architect who is entrusted with the renovation of a sumptuous manor house belonging to the rather strange Daguerre family, who sit atop a board games empire. When family patriarch César is found murdered, Jeanne is drawn into a real-life murder mystery aimed at unmasking the assassin…

Produced by Amaury Ovise on behalf of Kazak Productions (who already worked with Nicolas Pleskof on two of his shorts) and co-produced by France 3 Cinéma, Pictanovo and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes-Cinéma, Murder Party further enjoys the support of Canal+ and Ciné+, and the backing of the SOFICA companies Cofinova, Sofitvcine and La Banque Postale Image. The six-week film shoot, which is scheduled to unfold in the Hauts-de-France and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions, will wrap on 15 January with Gilles Porte at the helm of photography. Distribution in France and international sales are both in the hands of Bac Films.

For the record, Kazak is currently steering Julia Ducournau’s hotly anticipated work Titane [+leggi anche:
