ComingSoon spoke with French Girl co-director and co-writer Nicolas Wright about the Zach Braff-led romantic comedy.
. The filmmaker discussed creating the film in Quebec and getting the rights to show a clip from Bloodsport. French Girl is set to release in theaters on Friday, March 15 and digitally on Tuesday, March 19.‘s synopsis. “Gordon, a hopeless romantic, finds his proposal plans are thrown into chaos when his girlfriend is swept away to Quebec by a job offer at the Fairmont Le Château Frontenac from her ex, a sophisticated celebrity chef.
One thing about Zach’s performance is that he knows the right delivery and the way to play into the humor. How much easier does it make those scenes where you don’t have to worry about the execution because he’s such a pro and so experienced in that regard? Oh man, he is a brother, man. We got to know him on the sequel to Independence Day and became fast friends. When you’re shooting for five months in Albuquerque, you get to know people. And boy, are we glad we got to know him. He is just a dude — a brother from another mother, as they say. I think he was pretty much a very early inspiration for us to write this part. We certainly had his voice in mind from the very beginning.
It’s a really tough discipline. But man, did it pay off in the script, because we were able to add all these nuances and those things … we took all these elements from Quebec that we love. Quebec has a strong sort of passion for UFC fighting. Lee Villeneuve is the big fighter that Junior fights and he’s a real fighter. He trains fighters more now than he fights, I think. But he’s absolutely a real fighter. Then our stunt man, Stéphane , he said he had the idea. He’s like, “Hey guys, I know there’s a fight scene that happens when they walk into the bar, but can they be women fighters? Because I’ve got a bunch of women fighters who were awesome.” And we were like, “Yes, that’s such a great idea. Absolutely.
So we spent months just trying to track him down in Thailand. I think, finally … Jean-Claude Van Damme was the first one to sign off. He was so nice. And he was like, “Yeah, of course I’ll support this.” That was not a problem. But honestly, finding Bolo took, I think, three or four months. It was down to like a week before we had to deliver the movie to Paramount, and we had no backup. We had no way to fix the problem if we couldn’t legally get it all signed off.
