\n\tFrench film and TV production powerhouse Gaumont<\/a> (Narcos, Lupin) may be celebrating its 130th anniversary<\/a> this year, making it the world\u2019s longest-running continuously operating studio, but it is not resting on its laurels. That was one of the messages during a Tuesday keynote appearance by Gaumont<\/a> USA president Nicolas Atlan at the fifth annual Iberseries & Platino Industria<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tAtlan addressed the 10th anniversary of Netflix hit show Narcos, which opened the door for more Spanish-language content, and whether it could return in some form. Asked if he had any news to share about a return of Narcos at this stage, he said: \u201cI wish. We\u2019re working on different approaches for Narcos. Then, it is [a question of is there] appetite from Netflix or not, or can we do it with someone else\u2019s? We don\u2019t know yet, but we for sure are looking at different approaches.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe executive had an update on another Latin American project to share during his appearance. \u201cWe\u2019ve just finished shooting in Mexico on Netflix\u2019s Mexico \u201986 about the story about Mexico at the [soccer] World Cup in 1986.\u201d Written and directed by Gabriel Ripstein (An Unknown Enemy), it stars Diego Luna<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAsked about the status of season 4 of Lupin, he had no further details but said: We just finished this one.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tAtlan came to his current Gaumont role after running its animation division, and he is still working on a 3D animated film, namely High in the Clouds, an adaptation of Paul McCartney\u2019s eponymous 2005 children\u2019s book about the adventures of a teenage squirrel who accidentally sparks a revolution against a bossy diva owl who has banned all music from their town. He unveiled that Celine Dion\u00a0and\u00a0Lupin star Omar Sy\u00a0will be part of the French voice cast, along with Benjamin Lavernhe, Antoine de Caunes, Cl\u00e9mence Po\u00e9sy, Pom Klementieff and Alain Chabat.<\/p>\n

\n\tDion, Po\u00e9sy, Klementieff and Chabat are also part of the previously unveiled English-language voice cast, led by Himesh Patel and Hannah Waddington, and also featuring McCartney and Ringo Starr.<\/p>\n

\n\tAsked about Gaumont\u2019s approach to AI, Atlan on Tuesday shared: \u201cOf course, we look at it. There are two concerns. We have a big catalog, so the copyright and the IP is a concern. So we are very careful on this. Also, at the same time, we see it as a tool. For animation, for sure, it\u2019s going to be a big tool. \u2026 In production, it is going to be a very important tool.\u201d Concluded the Gaumont USA president: \u201cSo, it\u2019s [about] how to use the technology [to] generally tell stories that are going to be able to travel all around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGaumont looks to balance its tradition and legacy with innovation and the needs of the digital age, Atlan said more broadly, highlighting what CEO Sidonie Dumas always emphasizes to her team. \u201cShe doesn\u2019t want us to live in nostlagia,\u201d he explained. \u201cFrom the beginning, the company was already based on how to use technology and to tell stories. \u2026 And I think this is our legacy, that whatever happens and whatever evolution [we see], whatever we talk about, AI or whatever can come, but the idea is always to tell stories and to be able to build emotion through stories.\u201d Concluded Atlan: \u201cIn fact, one of our slogans is \u2018130 years of emotion\u2019.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"French film and TV production powerhouse Gaumont (Narcos, Lupin) may be celebrating its 130th anniversary this year, making…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":266269,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[691,738,138872,138873,137947,1801,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-266268","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-gaumont","11":"tag-iberseries","12":"tag-iberseries-platino-industria","13":"tag-international","14":"tag-technology","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115292791315491275","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266268\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
