As his hockey movie Goon prepares for its February release, Canadian actor Marc-Andre Grondin on Monday will begin filming L’homme qui rit (
The Man Who Laughs), an adaptation of the Victor Hugo novel.
The period epic also stars Gerard Depardieu and Emmanuelle Seigner. Its budget is said to be more than $12 million euros. With Jean-Pierre Ameris in the director’s chair, L’homme is shooting in Prague and will also shoot in France.
