Le Pharmacien de Garde premieres in France on January 15, 2003!

"I play Yan Lazarrec, a fanatic who dreams of a clean planet and who kills all those who dirty it."

...Vincent Perez

Peau d'ange's leading man, Guillaume Depardieu, now stars opposite Vincent in the film, Le Pharmacien de garde, which opens January 15. Vincent comments on his role as Yan Lazarrec, the pharmacist: "It's a black film. I play an ecologist/serial killer. I had fun playing the evil one!" It seems that Yan secretly manufactures poisons to assassinate the pollutants. The ecologist dreamer and devoted pharmacist will eventually be challenged by the cop (Depardieu) in charge of the investigation. Vincent goes on to say (according to Monsieurcinema.com) that he would like to begin writing another screenplay with his wife Karine by the end of the year. It should be a busy household with twins onboard as well.

Fanfan la tulipe is now in post-production having filmed from June 19 to mid-October. Director Gerard Krawczyk promises an aesthetic look with natural settings. Vincent trained six hours a day in acrobatics, juggling and combat with the sword. This was all orchestrated by his fencing master, Michel Carliez, who also trained him for Le Bossu. Look for its debut in France on April 9, 2003.

Since there were several photos taken of Vincent and Karine at the 2002 Montreal Film Festival, I created another photo gallery. Two photos are large enough to use as desktop wallpaper. Enjoy!
