We take stock of the films postponed to the beginning of the year 2022. From French comedy (Le Bon Dieu 3, Rumba la vie …) to blockbusters (Morbius, John Wick 4 …), the list of longs lengths, shifted due to the sanitary context, is getting longer.
What films are postponed to 2022? AlloCiné takes stock, while the Omicron variant seems to be shaking up cinema release schedules in France and around the world. At the same time, some films choose to bring their release forward, like Superheroes in spite of himself by Philippe Lacheau who takes the slot left vacant Le Bon Dieu 3.
This list will be regularly updated. Summary, with contributions from Vincent Formica Formica and Marine de Guillermier.
Simone, the journey of the century
Warner Bros.
For the record, the film highlights the fate of Simone Veil, her childhood, her political battles, her tragedies. The epic and intimate portrait of a woman with an extraordinary journey who shook her time by defending a humanist message that is still extremely topical.
Building permit
Warner Bros. France
The pitch of this film co-written by the tandem Eric Fraticelli and Didier Bourdon (also headlining): Dentist in Paris, Romain has just lost his father, whom he has not seen for years. To his surprise, the latter left him a piece of land as an inheritance, as well as a last wish: to build the house where he would have liked to end his days. Only problem: this land is located in Corsica.
Rumba life
Arnaud Borrel – 2022 GAUMONT – FOR YOU PUBLIC PRODUCTIONS – TF1 FILMS PRODUCTION – UMEDIA
The film will finally benefit from a summer release, set for August 24, 2022. The tour that was to launch the film has also been canceled, and will be rescheduled this summer with, in particular, outdoor screenings.
Franck Dubosc posted a video on his Facebook page at the end of December 2021 to give some explanations on this choice. He indicates that it was decided “because of all this context”, and that he “does not want to sacrifice it”. “We can not risk this month of January which we do not yet know the ins and outs of what we will have to do,” he continues.
Morbius
It is no longer January 26, 2022, but next March 30 that the character introduced in the Marvel comics as the enemy of Spider-Man will land on the big screen in France. In the United States, it goes from January 28 to April 1.
John wick 4
The reason for this delay was not specified. Filming for the film was thought to be completed in November 2021, but according to Deadline additional shots are scheduled in Japan. This postponement could be explained by the wish not to be faced with Top Gun 2.
The Little Band
DR
The story: In a small town in Corsica. Cat, Fouad, Antoine and Manu, 12, have a plan: set fire to the Chambon Factory, which pollutes the most beautiful river in the area. But each initiative is put to the vote and the constant ties paralyze the action. The small band then decides to hire a 5th sidekick to decide. Aimé, a child still alone, is chosen to his surprise. With his arrival, events will precipitate … and become terribly complicated!
