Production
editA new film adaptation of Fantômas was first mooted in 2003, with José Garcia and Jean Reno set to star.[3] In 2009, Christophe Gans and Thomas Langmann were announced as director and producer, respectively.[4] By 2010, Vincent Cassel had replaced Garcia in the title role. [5] The film ultimately went unproduced.
In August 2022, producer Wassim Béji and production company SND acquired the adaptation rights to Fantômas, and planned both a new film and a series, intended to return to the character's darker roots.[6]
By late 2025, Frédéric Tellier had come onboard to direct, with the main cast announced as consisting of Guillaume Canet, Romain Duris, Lyna Khoudri and Louis Peres. The film will also include cinematography by Glynn Speeckaert, producer design by Florian Sanson, costumes by Olivier Bériot, artistic direction by Frédéric Cambon, and original music by Guillaume Roussel.[2][7]
Filming had begun by January 12, 2026, by which time Khoudri had left the project and was replaced by Ana Girardot.[8] The film is set for release on February 3, 2027.[1]
