Jean-Paul Rouve, alias Jeff Tuche, already the leading role and soul of the first four parts of the family comedy saga which has already attracted a whopping 14 million spectators, will be the director of
Tuche 5
, officially titled
God save the Tuche
. Pathé announced this news by revealing the release date, February 2025, and a first poster on the social network X.
In this fifth episode, the modest Tuche family - who still won 100 million euros in the Loto - continues their discovery of the “big world” after Monaco and Los Angeles. This time, as the title suggests, Jeff, Cathy, Mamie Suze, Stéphanie, Wilfried and Donald Tuche will be propelled to Buckingham Castle where they will rub shoulders, as English nobility obliges, with the royal family.
According to initial indiscretions, the Tuche family finds itself across the Channel because Jiji, the Tuche grandson, was spotted by the famous Arsenal club, which invited him to do a football course with them. It goes without saying that this trip to the lands of treacherous Albion will be the pretext for new incongruous gags that made the first four films successful.
The poster for the film unveiled on X gives a small idea of the extravagance of the scenario imagined by Jean-Paul Rouve, Philippe Mechelen, Julien Hervé and Nessim Chikhaoui. We see fries, the Tuche's favorite dish, bathed in tea, the English's favorite drink. Filming of the
“Tuchesque”
adventures began at the beginning of March and should end in May.
Jean-Paul Rouve is therefore the successor to Olivier Baroux, the project manager of the first four adventures. The latter, after having considered making a fifth opus, changed his mind, admitting to fear of making too much Tuche. The future success or failure of
God save The Tuche
will tell him if he was right to give up...
