IN January 2014 I was an extra for three days in Cannes, France for this film. We were about 200 persons, all dressed up in tuxedos and gowns for a fictional concert in the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, where the legendary Cannes Film Festival takes place. We even got to walk up the red carpet to the top of the stars for this fictional event in the movie. The plot revolves around a female Pop singer who is threatened and two security guards who are assigned to protect her. THe film was originally called 36 HEURES A VIVRE, "36 HOURS TO LIVE" but was released as LES GORILLES, " THE GORILLAS" referring I suppose to the security guards. THe star is a French Rap singer named Joey Starr. It was released just about a month ago but it came and went so fast from the cinemas here in France that I did not even get a chance to see it... Bad reviews for the film. It was a good experience for me though to work as an extra for three days in such a glamorous setting, in and outside the Festival Palace. I did not see it so I cannot really judge
