The movie theatre business has experienced many changes in the last fifty-five years, and Cineplex Gm Pierre Gauthier has seen it all.
Pierre began working in a movie theatre on July 3rd, 1961. He has been a General Manager at Cineplex Odeon in British Columbia since 1981. He could have never predicted that he’d be in the business for so long, he says of his life-long venture, “I didn’t know for sure, I didn’t know I was going to live this long! My grandfather owned a theatre in the interior BC, and my father bought it off of him. So I’ve been in the theatre business all of my life.”
There have been plenty of changes, specifically in technology, since Pierre began in the cinema business. Though, overall not too much has changed, he maintains, “There’s quite a few changes. The business is all just about the same,...

In production since May 24 in Montreal, Luc Dionne's film, Le projet Omertà, will wrap up on production on July 18. Moreover, the film will be released in Quebec in summer 2012.
The film, which is based on a TV series showrunned by Luc Dionne himself, will be centred on the character of Pierre Gauthier (Michel Côté), an federal agent who's specialized on organized crime.
He's now the head of Pulsar International, a high-level private security agency. One day, he's called by Gilbert Tanguay (Michel Dumont), his former boss, to investigate on a conspiracy. Tanguay also recruits Sophie (Rachelle Lefevre), a former agent of the Canadian secret service, so that she infiltrates the Montrealer underworld.
Sophie has to earn the trust of Steve Cohen (Stéphane Rousseau) and Steve Bélanger (Patrick Huard), two known associates of the Italian mafia of Montreal. Cohen and Bélanger wants to steal the gold supply of all the major North American banks.
