Guslagie Malanda Boards Joachim Lafosse’s “Les petits voleurs”

Over the past couple of weeks we’ve been reporting on a new Joachim Lafosse project. With an October production start date just around the corner, and now thanks to the socials, we learned that the first thesp to board Les petits voleurs will be Guslagie Malanda. The actress who began her career with 2014’s Mon Amie Victoria by Jean-Paul Civeyrac, and who waited for her big break with the outstanding performance in 2022’s Saint Omer is now on top of casting director lists.

Lafosse will premiere A Silence (Un silence) at the upcoming Donostia-San Sebastián, while Malanda should be returning to Venice (and possibly hitting Toronto) with Bertrand Bonello’s The Beast — the film’s selection should be confirmed tomorrow and or on Tuesday. Les petits voleurs will lense up into December in the South of France. We’ll provide updates on further casting announcements and synopsis for this drama shortly.
