Descendants of Marcel Marceau have disavowed World War II drama “Resistance,” saying that they are “in no way associated with the production,” which stars Jesse Eisenberg as the legendary performer and mime artist.
In a statement to Variety, children and heirs of Marceau said the project was erroneously “reported in the press and on social media as ‘the true story of Marcel Marceau and the French Resistance.'” They said that Baptiste Marceau, one of the performer’s sons, “was wrongly cited as an associate producer, although he and the rest of his family have in no way agreed to participate in the production of this American film.”
“Resistance,” directed and written by Jonathan Jakubowicz (“Hands of Stone”), follows the story of Marceau and his efforts to save Jewish children whose parents were killed in the Holocaust. Marceau’s own father died in Auschwitz.
