Canadian comedian André Sauvé will adapt into a film a famous monologue he did in a sketch: the grocery store (l'épicerie). The film will fittingly be called L'épicerie.

This will be the second film in which André Sauvé plays after Filière 13. Instead of being in a supporting role like in Filière 13, Sauvé will be the lead actor.

Christal Film Productions, a production company, announced yesterday that André Sauvé will write the film's script along with Claude Lalonde (Filière 13). For the moment, no director is attached to the film.

The film is about a man who goes to the grocery store. Once there, he starts to panick because of what's offered to him on the shelves.

In the next months, the producers of the film will seek subsidies from Telefilm Canada and the Sodec, respectively a federal and a Quebecker cinematographic funding agency. The producers expect L'épicerie's budget to be at $6 M.

The story, which was penned by Claude Lalonde and Pierre Lamothe, follows three cops. Thomas (Claude Legault) has a headache that stops him from getting the job done correctly. Besides, because he committed a serious blunder, his boss, Benoît (Paul Doucet), reassigns him to one simple job: keeping an eye on the mother of a notorious criminal who is at large. After all, the Montreal police expects that criminal to get back to his mother so that they can catch him. Obviously, Thomas will have a partner: Jean-François (Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge), the police's PR who cracked on television while he was trying to explain Thomas's last blunder. Besides, Jean-François has difficulties to talk to anyone.The film also stars Jean-Pierre Bergeron, Elisabeth Locas, Marie Turgeon, Anik Jean, André Sauvé,...
