"To discover the world as Gérard sees it"
"Through
Depardieu only knows it!
We will make you discover the world as Gérard sees it, without filter and without concession", summarizes Thierry Berthier, co-founder and CEO of Toon Factory.
"This nonconformist man will reveal himself and expose himself, with his iconoclastic character and his outspokenness, his qualities and his faults, his enthusiasm and his regrets."
The series will also include "some special episodes" directed "by other big names in comics," said the press release.
Mathieu Sapin is also the co-author of
Sardine de l'espace
, a series broadcast on Canal + and produced by Thierry Berthier, based on the comic strip he created with Joann Sfar and Emmanuel Guibert (Dargaud).
