What are Dany Boon’s plans? We take stock during the broadcast of “Raid Dingue” on TF1.
Dany Boon, 57, is not really on the rise at the moment. His last film as director, Life for Real, was a failure, attracting only 800,000 spectators in France. As an actor, it’s not the greatest joy either; recently, the comedy Les Chèvres only sold 183,000 tickets.
The one who brought together 46 million cinema spectators in 7 productions suffers from competition, notably embodied by the success of a new generation of comedians like Philippe Lacheau or Artus. The latter brought together 3.4 million curious people in 3 weeks with Un p’tit truc en plus, released on May 1st.
Dany Boon’s projects
Will Dany Boon bounce back with his next projects? We take stock! For the moment, the artist only has two upcoming feature films as an actor and has not communicated about a new production.
On June 26, he will be starring in The Hennedricks Family, the first film by his partner Laurence Arné. We will follow the character of Justine; when her son Henri threatens to go live with his father, she takes him on a road trip to the Atlantic coast with her new companion Ludo and her stepson Joseph.
On the holiday agenda: unite your blended family at all costs! But very quickly the adventure goes off the rails and Justine becomes disillusioned. However, from this chaos a music group is gradually born, The Hennedricks, in which everyone releases their madness. Will this new complicity allow the atypical family to finally find harmony?
Duet with Audrey Fleurot
Dany Boon has also been announced in the casting of Regarde, the new comedy by Emmanuel Poulain-Arnaud, director of Test with Alexandra Lamy. The actor will respond to Audrey Fleurot.
The story will introduce us to Chris and Antoine, a separated couple. For some time now, Milo, their 14-year-old son, seems to have difficulty seeing. The diagnosis is final. Milo will go blind. Chris and Antoine will have to put aside their repeated arguments to go, as a family, to admire the waves of Hossegor one last time, and much more.
Dany Boon back on stage
If Dany Boon will be rarer on the screens subsequently, it is due to the preparation of a new show planned for 2025. Questioned by The voice of the North last February, the comedian expressed his wish to return to the stage.
“It’s my DNA. I terribly missed making people laugh live”he confided, emphasizing his one-man show will evoke in particular the “birth of the desire to make people laugh”. “I also started to write about today’s world, which is very harsh. It’s important to laugh and make people laugh with the times. We have a lot more freedom on stage than in films or on social networks”indicated Dany Boon.
It is the actress Isabelle Nanty who will direct this new show: “I’m a fan of his work, his eye, his humor. We’re happy to see each other again”, did he declare. The comedian will begin this show, called Boon will do betterfrom January 2025. You can find all dates on its website.
