Per the new article "C'était la mort ou la vie", Roy has agreed to do Andre Forcier's newest film which per SODEC is described as

Quote

Hélène, qui veut détruire Coteau Rouge, un quartier de Longueuil, ne peut pas enfanter. C'est Micheline, sa mère, qui portera son bébé. Ce portrait de famille est une charge contre la gentrification et une apologie des valeurs familiales, doublé d'un regard ironique face à la bourgeoisie. Écrit par André Forcier, Linda Pinet et Georgette Duchaîne. Un film de André Forcier. Production : Les Films du paria.

I had read about this after returning from Montreal but did not know that Roy had agreed to be in it until this article came out.

Translation Please!!! Unfortunately I don't speak french.

I know I have translated this before...when this was first announced a few months ago...wonder where it went? :unsure: Here it is again:
“Helen, who wants to tear down Coteau Rouge (Red Hill), a neighbourhood in Longueuil [in the southwestern part of Montreal], cannot carry a child. It’s Micheline, her mother, who is carrying her baby as “surrogate mother”. This family portrait is an indictment of gentrification (modernizing old neighbourhoods) and an apology to family values, coupled with an ironic view of the middle class. Written by Marc-André Forcier, Linda Pinet, and Georgette Duchaîne. A Marc-André Forcier film.”

Sorry, I meant to say that this is only partially a literal translation - I added some directions (where Longueuil is) and explanation of some words in brackets - I also paraphrased about the "surrogate mother" thing - cause it is quite strange that the grandmother will give birth to the granddaughter! I wanted to make clear...if that is possible with such a weird state of affairs! :rolleyes:

Well that describes Forcier's films! But I like them! I found an interesting read about Coteau Rouge but it was rather long so I only a read a little. I'll be interested to find out if this film has anything to do with what little I read. I kept the link to check it out more.

Don't know why I don't have a edit option but wanted to say thank you to Marcia for the translation! :D

Thank you Marcia & Karen for the details on this one! :) Definitely sounds like another classic Forcier film! :lol: :o
Wonder which character Roy will play this time!

[Karen K]

Should be interesting to find out more about this film.

A little more information here. I think I've seen this pic of Roy before and I am not familiar with the gentleman whose pic is next to him.

Okay, more on Mario Saint-Amand

IMDb

He was in Je me Souviens as Roch Devos...... :unsure: Obviously, I would have to rewatch the DVD to figure out what character that was!

Am I missing when this will be filmed, late this year or next year?

MJ, I understand that it will start filming this autumn - not sure of the duration.

I think he should play the pregnant grandmother. He always likes to stretch the envelope. :woohoo:
