Mathias Mlekuz, seen in Deux jours à tuer and Nicolas Le Floch, is directing his first feature film, the comedy Mine de Rien, in cinemas from February 26, 2020 and on VOD from April 15, 2020. With this comedy, the director plunges us into the world of two unemployed men who try to restore their town's image by creating an amusement park on the site of an old disused coal mine. The cast of this French production includes Arnaud Ducret(Monsieur Je-sais-tout, Adopte un veuf), Philippe Rebbot(Lutine, Lulu femme nue), Mélanie Bernier(Les gamins, Populaire) and Marianne Garcia(Les invisibles, Discount).
As to the origins of the subject, the director explains: "I had the idea of creating an artisanal amusement park in a coal mine before discovering that in the 1950s, Bud Hurlbut, an American, had a brilliant idea: to keep customers waiting in a successful restaurant, he offered them wagon rides and a visit to the nearby old gold mine. Long before Disney, Bud Hurlbut went on to develop an amusement park around the mine."
Synopsis:
In a region that was once the flagship of the mining industry, two long-term unemployed men come up with the idea of building an "artisanal" amusement park on the site of a disused coal mine. By saving the mine and its memory, they will regain their strength and dignity.
