‘The Bureau’ Creator Eric Rochant’s New Series, ‘Tour de France’ Show Unveiled by Federation Studios at Taiwan Creative Content Fest

Paris-based Federation Studios has revealed a brace of new series at the Taiwan Creative Content Fest.

During a presentation at TCCF, Federation Studios president Pascal Breton said that a show from “The Bureau” creator Eric Rochant is in the works. Espionage thriller, “The Bureau” has been remade for the U.S. as “The Agency.” The new iteration will be “partly shot in Taiwan, partly in Europe and the Middle East,” Breton said.

“And this show will be English-speaking. This show will be global, and that’s where there could be a very interesting cooperation between Taiwan and France. That’s where we would create a new subsidiary of Federation in Taipei, and that’s where we want to create, new seasons of a new show that could become another hit globally, [the] first global show that we produce, and then maybe an American version of it,” Breton added.

Revealing further details, Breton said, “It’s about the world of intelligence, globally. It’s not only about France, it’s about the world. Because, of course, everything is global. Now, especially in the tension that you have between all the superpowers, it’s global, and everything is related.”

“We tried, in a show of eight hours, to tell that global new world, which is a very tense world, which is good for drama, but sometimes not so good for democracy or life, but we have to deal with that. This is our world,” Breton added. The precise title is under wraps at the moment.

Separately, a fiction series about the world’s most famous cycle race is titled “Tour de France” and is due next summer. “It’s a drama. It’s partly soapy in a way. But, of course, it’s full of action and drama shot by the guys, who did ‘Lupin,’ and also did two ‘Fast and Furious’ movies, so you can see that I want my bicycle guys to go faster,” Breton said.
