Twenty-eight years after its theatrical release, Hatred remained a cult work for French cinema. Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, this film narrates the reaction of a city following a police blunder. It will be a resounding success with more than two million admissions and eleven César nominations, with the statuette for best film as the key.
Nearly three decades later, the work will experience a new life. With its subject always rooted in reality, Hatred will be adapted into a musical. Mathieu Kassovitz announced it himself in a video shot in black and white, like the film. “We’ve been working on a new project for two years. Hatrednot in the cinema, but Hatred “live”, a mixture of cinema and spectacle”, he explains.
Looking for a new cast
The director seems totally seduced by this new project, as he explains: “I work with a group of very talented people from different backgrounds. We will be very respectful of the original work. It’s been thirty years since we touched on this project, we’ve aged, but we’re still on the attack and we still have things to say. »

It still remains to find the actors to replace the main roles played by Vincent Cassel, Saïd Taghmaoui and Hubert Koundé in 1995. Kassovitz therefore launched a call for candidates: “We are looking for people who are able to do everything, artists who can to dance, to rap, of course to play comedy. If you feel you have the shoulders to fill these sneakers, come participate, the casting starts now, for the whole summer. »
