I felt old; as a man, that never happened to me…
In October 2024, we spoke with Louis Morissette, who had, at the time, shared with us a few details about the next feature film produced by his company, KO24.
Shoot ton scoop
Have you seen anything? Discretion guaranteed.
It’s a project in which the actor lends his features to François·e, surrounded by a cast rich in talent. Morissette, who plays a leading role in it, also shared, on the sidelines of this experience, moving and memorable observations, which we’ll discuss below.
Retour sur les détails qu’il nous avait partagés
“It’s the story of a 50-year-old screenwriter who isn’t working anymore, and who thinks it’s due to quotas. So he pretends to be trans to be able to work… And his project is then accepted. He’ll have to live this double life,” the actor and business owner told our journalist.
“He knows nothing about the reality of trans people. So he has to align himself with people who know that world,” Morissette clarified about his character.

Des premières images prometteuses
Now we’re getting our first look at footage from this new film, which is set to hit theaters on July 8, 2026, starring Pascale Drevillon, Geneviève Schmidt, and Robin Aubert.
“See the first images of the comedy François.e, starring Louis Morissette, Pascale Drevillon, Geneviève Schmidt, and Robin Aubert. In theaters July 8, 2026,” reads the trailer description.
Des commentaires déjà chargés d’enthousiasme
In the comments, many are already buzzing with excitement about the project, and just from the trailer, smiles are plastered on many faces.
Others say they’re a bit surprised to see Louis take on this character.
Un rôle qui suscite de grandes réflexions
In a clip from an interview shared on ICI TÉLÉ, Morissette opens up about what playing the role of a woman made him realize.
“I felt old; as a man, that never happened to me… as a woman, I just saw my wrinkles… It reminded me of just how much a 52-year-old woman has to negotiate with a lot of things that, as a 52-year-old man, I don’t have to deal with,” Morissette says in an interview with Gildor Roy.
“That’s my husband, him,” declares Véro, in the margin of the clip, visibly proud of her partner’s reflections.
“In the film François·e, Louis Morissette plays a screenwriter overwhelmed by societal shifts who pretends to be a woman. Gildor had the chance to meet the actor and producer, alongside screenwriter Gabrielle Boulianne-Tremblay. Catch this exclusive clip,” the show’s team teases, adding that the full interview will be available starting November 29.
François·e will arrive in theaters on July 8, 2026, before heading to ICI Tou.tv Extra in the following fall, a double release that promises to spark conversations.
