François Cluzet will slip into the costume of Carlos Ghosn.
According to information from Variety, the actor was chosen to play the main role of a mini-series, produced by Federation Entertainment, on the ex-boss of Renault-Nissan.
The Franco-Lebanese-Brazilian businessman hit the headlines at the end of 2019 by literally getting in the trunk to Lebanon, from Japan where he was suspected of financial embezzlement.
The six-part mini-series is slated to be titled
Carlos Ghosn, The Fugitive
.
No broadcaster has yet been formalized.
"A real politico-financial suspense"
Frédéric Jardin, who worked for the Canal +
Engrenages
and
Braquo series
, will be responsible for the production.
He ensures, according to comments reported by our colleagues, that the project does not aim to "rehabilitate" or "tarnish" the billionaire.
It promises "a real political and financial suspense".
The screenplay, signed Stéphane Osmont, will be based on
Le fugitif
, the book co-signed by Régis Arnaud and Yann Rousseau and published by Stock last year.
