Killer Instinct & Public Enemy No. 1 (What to Know)

Vincent Cassel Gangster Pics Back on

Our French sources have shared interesting news on French producer Thomas Langmann reviving the ambitious two-film project about notorious French criminal Jacques Mesrine, with Vincent Cassel starring. Pathe has boarded the pics, taking French distribution & handling international sales on Killer Instinct & Public Enemy No. 1, directed by Jean-Francois Richet. Marion Cottillard & Eva Green are attached to play two women who were Mesrine's loves & also partners in crime at different points in his life. The script was written by Abdel Raouf Dafri. The Mesrine pics will be shot simultaneously in Canada and France over 30 weeks starting in May. The story of the two-parter's journey has twists & turns worthy of the colorful life of Mesrine -- who robbed banks, kidnapped people & escaped from prison eight times, until French police gunned him down in 1979.
