Mathieu Lamboley (Lupin, A Minuscule Adventure, Sisters in Arms, Lolo, Return of the Hero) has composed the original music for the new French Netflix original film The Last Mercenary (Le dernier mercenaire). The movie is directed by David Charhon (On the Other Side of the Tracks, Cyprien) and stars Jean-Claude Van Damme, Alban Ivanov, Éric Judor, Patrick Timsit, Miou-Miou, Assa Sylla, Samir Decazza, Valérie Kaprisky, Djimo and Nassim Lyes. The action comedy revolves around a legendary secret agent-turned-mercenary who comes out of hiding to save the son he’s never met and who is being framed by an international terrorist organization. Jean-Charles Levy & Nicolas Manuel (Race, The Tall Man) are producing the project for Forecast Pictures, alongside Olivier Albou & Laurence Schonberg for Other Angle Pictures, Jakéma Charhon & Eponine Maillet for Mony Films, as well as Olias Barco (Kill Me Please) and Vlad Riashyn for Apple Tree. The Last Mercenary will premiere this Friday, July 30 exclusively on Netflix.
Also coming up for Lamboley is Yvan Attal’s Les Choses humaines starring Mathieu Kassovitz (to be released in French theaters this fall). He also recently scored Emmanuel Carrère’s Between Two Worlds, which just premiered earlier this month at this year’s Cannes Directors’ Fortnight.
