His godfather is Francis Ford Coppola and his family is French cinema royalty, but Dimitri Rassam says he’s carving his own path with plans to make a global blockbuster
Dimitri Rassam was destined to make movies. The son of Bond girl and Cesar-winning actor Carole Bouquet and French film producer Jean-Pierre Rassam, he’s been immersed in cinema since birth. Francis Ford Coppola is his actual godfather.
Last year, Rassam’s The Count of Monte Cristo was one of the top-grossing films in France. Now he has big plans to produce global blockbusters in English, with a French twist.
