Guillaume Canet & Harlan Coben, Tell No One
How does one of America's bestselling thrillers become a French-made box-office hit?
In the case of Harlan Coben's Tell No One, it was simple. The option by English
director Michael Apted lapsed and French actor-director Guillaume Canet got lucky.
As Canet tells us, he fought to keep Francois Cluzet, an '80s leading man and a ringer for
the young Dustin Hoffman, and easily transposed the action from Manhattan and Washington,
D.C., to contemporary Paris. Coben naturally is thrilled and hopes Canet will
do the English-language remake.
