Depardieu, awaiting sexual assault verdict, set to star in a friend's film

  • Gérard Depardieu faces a sexual assault trial verdict on May 13 at a Paris courthouse, coinciding with the Cannes Film Festival opening day.
  • The charges follow alleged assaults during 2021 filming of Les Volets Verts, amid multiple accusations from about 20 women and several ongoing complaints.
  • While prosecutors seek an 18-month suspended sentence and a fine, Depardieu denies all allegations and simultaneously stars in a new film directed by friend Fanny Ardant.
  • Filming for the Portuguese-produced film began in April on Sao Miguel island, where Depardieu plays a mysterious figure in a story about two women on an island, according to producer Ana Pinho Moura.
  • The verdict's timing and Depardieu's casting highlight tensions within the film industry and public debate over accountability and rehabilitation in the #MeToo era.
