Armband around his arm, he will be at the Stade de France this Saturday to challenge Liverpool with the conquest of a 5th Champions League in mind.
At 34, Real Madrid captain Karim Benzema is undoubtedly going through the most prosperous season of his prestigious career to the point of being identified as the big favorite for the next Ballon d'Or.
The star of the Blues could soon shine on another stage.
Director Fabien Onteniente recently dropped the piece with our colleagues from Nice-Matin.
While waiting for his plane in the middle of last week to go to the Cannes Film Festival, the latter explains that he received a phone call from Karim Djaziri, the former agent and longtime friend of Benzema.
“Hi Fab!
This is Karim Djaziri.
I have to get you someone now.
An actor, an actor!
“Says the director of Camping, before continuing:” And there, I see on FaceTime the head of Benzema!
He was wearing Real's blue jersey and Karim told me
Fabien, you have to prepare for the role!
Something sick.
I was in shock.
Then Karim Djaziri speaks again
Fabien, we have to write the role for Karim
”.
After the success of his film 3 Zeros (1.2 million viewers), released in sales in April 2002 and which recounted the rise of Tibor Kovacs, a young football prodigy played by Lorànt Deutsch, the 64-year-old director will therefore shoot the following.
Entitled 4 Zeros, Onteniente can rely in its writing system on Laurent Jaoui, the brother of Agnès Jaoui, head of sports at Prime Vidéo, and Paul de Saint-Sernin, ex-journalist at Canal +, presenter of Sports trophies.
Rai also in the credits
“This sequel will take place rather in the cities, says Onteniente.
There will be the old world of football, represented by Didier Bourdon, Gérard Lanvin in particular, and this new world that Karim Djaziri knows well.
This is the meaning of my film with music by DJ Snake and Nekfeu.
I sincerely believe that it is necessary to make a popular comedy, spectacular, and a little salient.

In this comedy, a very big name in Parisian football is also announced.
"In the credits, there will be the Franco-Brazilian Raï, one of the legends of PSG, who will play the President of the Parisian club, adds Onteniente With Olivier Delbosc (Editor's note: the producer who will finance this second part with M 6), we have lunch together on May 30 to talk about it in more detail with him

We do not know, however, the date of the start of filming nor that of the release of the film.
