Near 15 years after death by Henri Grouès – better known as of Abbé Pierre -, a film retracing his life will soon see the light of day. The filming of the feature film entitled “The eleven lives of Abbé Pierre” will begin at the beginning of the year 2022.
For the occasion, the production is looking for extras in Rhône-Alpes, namely to Lyonnais (Rhône), at Chambery (Savoie), to Annecy (Haute-Savoie) and in the Vercors (Isère). The region, very frequented by Abbé Pierre, lends itself particularly well to the filming of a biopic.
Henri Grouès, known as Abbé Pierre
Abbé Pierre was born in Lyon on August 5, 1912, and died in Paris on January 22, 2007.
Catholic priest in the diocese of Grenoble (Isère), he was also a resistance member and then a deputy. He participated in the creation of the maquis in the Vercors and Chartreuse mountains during the Second World War.
Abbé Pierre is the founder of Emmaus, and notably fought for housing for the most disadvantaged.
If you wish to be one of the extras present on Frédéric Tellier’s film, of which Benjamin Lavernhe and Emmanuelle Bercot are the headliners, you will have to make yourself available during one to several days around Lyon, Annecy, Chambéry or Vercors between early and mid-February 2022.
The profiles sought
Several profiles are sought for this casting:
– German soldiers : between 20 and 50 years old blond, used to combat sports and firearms (knowing how to shoot a rifle), accepting a military cut and if possible knowing how to speak German, in order to embody German soldiers
– guerrillas : French soldiers between 20 and 50 years old, sportsmen! Used to walking in the mountains and using firearms (knowing how to shoot a rifle) in order to embody the guerrillas.
– People : men and women between 20 and 60 years old, of all origins. Able to walk in the mountains and in the snow in order to also embody the French fleeing the war
The extras embodying these roles will be remunerated at the rate of 105 € gross per day, with an indemnity of 25 € if there are tests.
Other extras are also sought after, for talking silhouettes. It will be a question of embodying monks. The production therefore wants to find men between 30 and 50 years old, accepting that they have a tonsure and being able to learn and interpret a Gregorian chant (large beards welcome).
These extras will be remunerated up to 250 € gross per day, with an indemnity of 25 € if test, as well as an indemnity for the tonsure.
