The French Connection: ‘John Wick 4,’ ‘Murder Mystery,’ ‘Emily in Paris’ Facilitator Raphael Benoliel Is Hollywood’s Man in France
24.01.2022 - 14:37 / variety.com
Ben Croll For the past two decades, Raphael Benoliel has been Hollywood’s man in France. With more than 40 projects under his belt, the Nice-born Benoliel has turned his Firstep production banner into a kind of one-stop-shop for international shoots, amassing line producer credits on projects as varied as “Les Miserables,” “Stillwater” and “The Marvelous Mrs.
Maisel.”And if last year might have been Firstep’s busiest year to date following back-to-back shoots of “Emily in Paris,” “John Wick: Chapter 4” and David Fincher’s “The Killer,” this year shows no signs of letting up, which makes the circumstances of Firstep’s founding all the more ironic.“[Firstep co-founder] Dimitri Veret and I started the company with other goals in mind,” Benoliel tells Variety. “I was receiving [employment insurance] and didn’t necessarily need the money to get by, so we launched Firstep, using the benefits to finance our shorts.” Opportunity knocked when Benoliel – who was working as a production coordinator for international ad shoots at the time – caught wind of an upcoming project scouting locations across the country.“Neil Jordan came scouting for [2002’s ‘The Good Thief,’] his remake of “Bob Le Flambeur,”’ Benoliel continues.
“He was hesitating between shooting in the South of France and in Deauville. For me it was my dream come true, so I did everything I could to bring the production to Nice.

Big Sean and Jhené Aiko had a case of stolen identity over the weekend when they attended the NFC Championship game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. The couple appeared on the Jumbotron at the game, but were accidentally labeled as another celebrity couple — Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. Gellar did attend the game, though she wasn't with her husband, but rather her pal Elsa Collins. The alum found the mix-up to be comical, posting pics of the mislabeled Jumbotron along with a selfie of her and Prinze Jr. "@bigsean do you get mistaken for me as often as I get mistaken for you? (Swipe right to see my actual date at the #ramshouse)," she captioned the post. A post shared by Sarah Michelle (@sarahmgellar)So far, Big Sean hasn't commented on the name swap, but he did post several photos from the game. In one selfie with Aiko, he joked about an older man in the background of his pic seemingly sleeping, writing, «The guy in the back is how I felt on the inside.» And while he didn't specifically call out the Jumbotron mishap, he did share a funny shot of himself and Aiko looking puzzled while staring at the Jumbotron without the swapped names.
