The #MeToo movement in cinema is far from over. According to several media, such as Le Figaro, a list of ten names of French actors, producers and directors involved in sexual affairs could be released soon.
This list could fall at the same time as the start of the Cannes Film Festival, on May 14. An earthquake is expected to hit the largest film festival in the world. Especially since on the sidelines of this media turmoil, a collective of cinema workers is calling for a strike during the festival.
“Mind-blowing” names according to Jordan de Luxe
Who will these ten cinema names be possibly involved in these scandals? For the moment, only rumors are being spread on social networks. No official list has yet been shared by any media. But personalities seem to have already heard of certain names, like the presenter Jordan de Luxe.
On the set of Buzz TV of TV Mag, the host, as well as Damien Canivez, let it be known that they had had access to a list, without being 100% sure of its veracity. But it still caused a reaction.
“It’s totally incredible. We got the names earlier, they are amazing. If these are the names that fall, people will hallucinate”says still shocked Jordan de Luxe.
Without giving names, the C8 host evokes “a very young actor, who we all know”. Because there would obviously not only be names of “the older generation” cinema, says Damien Canivez. “People will fall six stories. I fell on the ground “later affirmed Jordan de Luxe.
The end of French cinema as we know it?
The sound of the bell was also the same on Do not touch My TV ! this Tuesday, May 6. Cyril Hanouna then affirmed that “the producers are panicking, everyone is panicking. There is crisis communication around the leaders of the Cannes Film Festival to try, if possible, to soften the shock”.
Gilles Verdez for his part affirmed that this could be “the end of French cinema as it is there”. Before being more nuanced: “We don’t know what these ten names would be accused of. Are there any complaints? What are the deals? We do not know yet. »
Enough to build up some rather embarrassing suspense around an affair which could perhaps be a new turning point in the world of French cinema.
