Cédric Klapisch reunites with Pio Marmaï for his sixteenth feature film. The director has begun filming in Marseille on S’aimer sur Mars, a new ensemble comedy produced by Ce qui me meut. No release date has been announced yet.
Pio Marmaï leads this project whose plot is being kept under wraps for now. The title pairs a romantic story with Marseille, but the producers have not yet clarified whether the word "Mars" refers only to the city or carries another meaning within the narrative.
Filming has just kicked off in Marseille and is expected to run for about a month. Additional shoots are planned in the city and its surroundings between late October and early November 2026.
S’aimer sur Mars extends the collaboration between Cédric Klapisch and Pio Marmaï. The actor had already appeared in Ce qui nous lie, a family drama set on a Burgundian wine estate, and later in En corps, where his performance earned him a César nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
Following L’Auberge espagnole, Les Poupées russes, Le Péril jeune or more recently La Venue de l’avenir, the filmmaker is lining up a new ensemble story set in a French city. Cofinova, which backs the film’s financing, describes the project as a chorale comedy.
The trade press is also flagging a possible lineup that includes Cécile de France, Vincent Macaigne, Charlotte Le Bon and Julien de Saint-Jean. This expanded cast has not yet received a full production announcement and should therefore be considered provisional.
Cécile de France's involvement would mark new reunions with the director after the trilogy that began with The Spanish Apartment and continued with The Russian Dolls and Chinese Puzzle, then The Arrival of the Future.
With no synopsis, no official imagery, and no release schedule yet, S’aimer sur Mars remains largely shrouded in mystery. That filming has kicked off confirms that Cédric Klapisch’s next feature is now in production.
