Jacques Audiard’s Drug-Musical ‘Emilia Perez’ Wraps Filming in France

July 13, 2023 Jordan Ruimy

One film that won’t be affected by the actors strike is Jacques Audiard’s musical thriller “Emilia Perez,” starring Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña, which wrapped filming just last week in Paris.

Yes, Audiard (A Prophet, Dheepan) directed a movie musical, in Spanish, about a trans-Mexican druglord, or something like that. The main character is inspired by one chapter of french author Boris Razon's novel "Écoute" (“listen”) and concerns a drug kingpin who disappeared, after changing his identity, by undergoing a male-to-female surgical transition.

Audiard co-wrote the movie with his usual writing partner Thomas Bidegain. They will partner with French composer-arranger Clément Ducol for the score and famous French singer Camille, who wrote all the songs (with the help of a Mexican translator) and performed them for the music demo.

Audiard is also working with french music supervisor Pierre-Marie Dru, who worked on “Annette”, among many other projects, and French choreographer Philippe Jamet. This is a cinch to premiere at Cannes next year.
