An undeniable commercial success with over 2.6 million admissions in France, Kaamelott Premier Volet is still far from having convinced all the critics. Mixed reviews that will not, however, prevent the franchise from continuing, particularly thanks to the upcoming release of a second film. Kaamelott Deuxième Voletdoes not yet have a release date, with filming only starting this summer. Alexandre Astier will be sure to communicate more about it in due course, while one of the most cult characters of the saga does not seem to be back in this second part.
A cult character from Kaamelott ousted of the second film?
The filming of Kaamelott Second Partis in full swing. The film, as we know, will be in two parts. A godsend for the most impatient who will not have to wait very long before discovering the continuation of the adventures of King Arthur and his gang, once the first part of Deuxième Volet is in theaters. For months, fans of Kaamelott have been wondering about the ins and outs of this second Kaamelott, which is extremely secret. To say the least, even its script was kept secret from the actors in the film.
A project under high tension, nothing must leak. To wait, the most curious can turn to different actors of the saga to try to get answers. This is what AlloCiné didon October 6th at Paris Manga, interviewing Jean-Robert Lombard, the actor who played Father Blaise. According to Lombard, Father Blaise, who fans of Kaamelott were able to see recently in Kaamelott Premier Volet, fleeing into the underground alongside the characters of Antoine de Caunes and Christian Clavier, would not be present in the sequel.
“You offer me an excellent transition on these two films which were apparently shot in secret this summer. Are you allowed to say something about these episodes 2 and 3?' asks AlloCiné to Lombard, who does not hide his disappointment: “That's where the problem is:I wasn't invited by the production on this opus. It's not a joke. So I have nothing to tell you. It's silly, but it's not even that I don't want to or that I can't. I really have nothing to say about it.”
“Knowing that at At the end of the first film, your character was banished?” continues AlloCiné. “Yes, and he went underground with Christian Clavier, Antoine de Caunes and this dear Professor Rollin. I don't know if we'll start from 1 to get to the end. I know that there are comrades who filmed in the spring and this summer, but I wasn't part of them. The mystery remains.”
