LES BRONZES 4. Can the Bronzés band, which made audiences laugh in three films, be back one day for a fourth film? What we know.
[Mis à jour le 15 février 2022 à 20h50] Popeye, Gigi, Jean-Claude, Bernard, Nathalie and Jérôme entertained the French public with their hilarious holidays in the three tanned. The third and final film in the franchise, Friends for life was released in 2006. Without critical acclaim, but with loyal audiences to the Splendids. This third episode accumulated 10,344,520 admissions. What to wonder regarding a potential return of our favorite vacationers. But let the fans get a reason: more than 15 years following that, no follow-up is planned. He shouldn’t be Bronzed 4.
On the set of We are not lying, the director, Patrice Leconte, returned to the bitter memory of the last film: “Les Bronzés 3 is a weird memory. There was crazy pressure, everyone was waiting for this film like everyone is waiting for Les Bronzés 4, which will never be made. The pressure somewhat harmed the carelessness that was ours.” Patrice Leconte, however, told in the columns of Télé-Loisirs the potential pitch that Les Bronzés 4 might have, “that we will never do”: “les Bronzés 4 in a retirement home”. But the team is formal: no scenario exists and the actors do not seem ready to resume their roles. Last November, Michel Leblanc (Jean-Claude Dusse) was formal in an interview still with Télé-Loisirs: “Les Bronzés 4, it will be without me, but I do not prohibit others from doing it”.
Thierry Lhermitte also shared his reluctance to the idea of resuming the role of Popeye at Le Parisien, in January 2020: “It is neither planned nor prohibited. But it would still surprise me a lot. film, it is possible, but another Bronzés, that would surprise me”. Fans of this comedy can console themselves by enjoying the first three films, regularly broadcast on television.
