Since June 11, the duo Nicolas (Charlet) & Bruno (Lavaine) have been shooting their second feature, The Big Bad Wolf (Le Grand Méchant Loup). According to Cineuropa, the two directors of Me Two (2008) this time have brought together a stellar cast including Belgian actor Benoit Poelvoorde, Kad Merad, Fred Testot, Valérie Donzelli, Zabou Breitman, Charlotte Le Bon, Cristiana Reali, Lea Drucker, and Linh Dan Pham.

Produced by Eric and Nicolas Altmayer for Mandarin Cinéma and written by the directors, The Big Bad Wolf tells the story of three brothers who used to be happy. At least, they thought they were. One day, their mother has an accident, and Henri, Philippe, and Louis start to question the meaning of their lives. These Versailles quadragenarians, to whom nothing ever happens, are overcome by a great wave of doubt, which is enough to make them suddenly open up the door to what is new and forbidden, to adventure... to the Big Bad Wolf! But will the wolf, however sexy he may be, really manage to blow their houses down? Is the eldest son's private hotel made in cut stone really that solid? What if, in the end, adult life wasn't exactly like a fairy tale?
