The news of his death shocked fans of the saga.The Bronzed“. Michel Blanc left us at 72. And shortly before his death, his great friend Josiane Balasko responded to requests for a sequel…
It was in the columns of Télé Poche. And Marylou Berry’s mother estimated, without filters: “There are people who want to bring us together at the cinema. But these projects are not yet sufficiently complete for us to be all in. And then Les Bronzés à l’Ephad, it smells rather like pine, doesn’t it?“
No continuation of the saga?
For his part, Michel Blanc was not very motivated for a fourth opus of the saga either. As a reminder, the film “The Bronzed“, was released in cinemas in 1978. Its sequel, Tanned people go skiingarrived a year later. We then had to wait until 2006 to find the happy band of Splendid again. “Les Bronzés 3: Friends for life” had then gathered more than 10 million spectators in theaters at the time.
And if the financial stakes are major, around this 4th part, this is not what would have convinced Michel Blanc.
In the columns of Paris Match, he had in fact assured: “I understood from the second Bronzés that we had given the best of ourselves. And that what was done no longer had to be done again. Hence the disaster of the third film. The Splendid is like a family, there is a time when you have to leaver”.
What Michel Blanc thought about it
And added: “But writing together again… I would be held back“. No, Michel Blanc could have returned for a new film with his comrades, but not the Bronzés.
However, he admitted: “It’s very hard to forget what we were. That said, with the right project, I would be delighted to do something with them again“.
