Five years after the fourth and final season of the hit French series “Call My Agent!” won an International Emmy Award, the gang is back for a feature film that sends its beloved agent-turned-filmmaker Andréa Martel (Camille Cottin) into the south of France and straight into the chaos of a movie shoot gone off the rails.
The hotly anticipated Netflix movie also sees its characters return to the Cannes Film Festival, where the popular cast — Cottin, Fanny Sidney, Grégory Montel, Liliane Rovère, Laure Calamy, Nicolas Maury and Thibault de Montalembert — walked the red carpet in style on Friday. Like Mike White’s “The White Lotus,” which picked Cannes as the backdrop for Season 4, the production of “Call My Agent The Movie” is on the Croisette filming additional footage for backstage scenes around the Palais des Festivals.
In an interview with Variety at Cannes alongside co-writer Lison Daniel and director Émilie Noblet, Fanny Herrero, the series creator and co-writer of the film, said the movie will chart Andréa’s transformation as she pivots from super-agent to filmmaker, assembling a troubled production plagued by cast meltdowns, contract disputes and behind-the-scenes disasters in true “Call My Agent!” fashion. But the Cannes shoot suggests it will end well for Andréa’s movie. Picking up five years after the bittersweet end of the series, which saw Andréa fold her talent agency A.S.K., the film sees Andréa losing her lead actor just days before shooting starts. “She has to bring her old team back together,” the synopsis says, alluding to Mathias and his daughter, who have launched a talent agency, and Noémie, who became a producer.
