Anil Ambani led Reliance Entertainment is producing an Indo-French film "nOmber One" to be directed by Serge Hazanavicius.
The film, to be shot in the Himalayas, has been co-produced by Julie Gayet's Rouge International and Elisa Soussan's myFamily. Kev Adams, best known for films like "les Profs 2" and "les Nouvelles Aventures d'Aladin", will play the lead in the film.
nOmber One tells the story of a quest, and of the ascension of a uniquely talented young man, in a world gone mad, a world of commerce and mercantile deals. It is also the tale of a father-son relationship between two men who share the same passion, of how events tear them apart, and of how a love of the snow, and quite simply love itself, brings them back together again. The movie is a story of riders, the daring last action heroes who risk their lives for a beautiful run, for an ephemeral race carved out on the sheer, white face of a remote and isolated mountain.
The movie has been written by Hazanavicius, who is the brother of "The Artist" helmer Michel Hazanavicius, along with Stephane Dan, Mary-Noelle Dana, and Alexis Galmot. "nOmber One" will go on floors in February.
Serge Hazavavicius, in parallel with his acting career comprising 70 films in France and internationally, and 25 plays, has written and directed more than a dozen shows, apart from drama and documentary for TV. Serge is the brother of Michel Hazanavicius, who won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture for “The Artist,” and is himself an avid sportsman, having skied on a number of adventurous slopes in Europe and Asia.
Stephane Dan is a mountain guide based in Chamonix, a climber, a crystal-hunter and a professional skier. He has worked on more than 100 films concerning skiing and board sports, including James Bond 007 in The World is Not Enough.
Elisa Soussan started working in the entertainment industry as a lawyer. She discovered Kev Adams during a one man show contest, and since then she became his manager, and produced two of his one man shows, The Young Man and Voila, Voila. She then developed the TV series, Soda staring Kev Adams.
