The story centers on a father and son bank robbing team, who, in an effort to escape the police, find refuge in a summer camp for young adults with disabilities, where they pose as a resident and his educator. Originally released last May by Pan Distribution, A Little Something Extra was a hit with French audiences who gave it 4.1 out of 5 stars on Allo Ciné.
Making his feature directing debut, popular actor and comedian Artus helmed A Little Something Extra and also stars with Clovis Cornillac and Alice Belaïdi. The rest of the cast is predominantly made up of youngsters with different types of disability.
The movie, which received a César nomination for Best First Film, was produced by Thierry Wong and Pierre Forette from Cine Nominé. Written by Artus, Clement Marchand and Milan Mauger, it's based on an original idea by Artus.
The remake deal was negotiated by Olivier Albou, co-founder of Other Angle Pictures, and by EVP, Creative Production & Head of Sony Pictures International Productions, Shebnem Askin.
