- Diane Kruger and Dany Boon will portray Nazi hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfeld and Tim Roth will play Klaus Barbie, with Yvan Attal directing and co-writing the screenplay with Laurent Turner.
- Yvan Attal is producing through his Films Sous Influence banner alongside NAC Films producers Antoine Pezet and Jérôme Corcos.
