Project details

PAPILLON

Papillon is a 2017 drama film directed by Michael Noer and also the last film by Red Granite Pictures. It tells the story of French convict Henri Charrière (Charlie Hunnam), nicknamed Papillon (“butterfly“), who was falsely imprisoned in 1933 in the notorious Devil’s Island penal colony and escaped in 1941 with the help of another convict, counterfeiter Louis Dega (Rami Malek). The film’s screenplay is based on Charrière’s autobiographies Papillon and Banco, as well as the former’s 1973 film adaptation, which was written by Dalton Trumbo and Lorenzo Semple Jr. and starred Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman.[2]

Papillon premiered on September 9, 2017, in the Special Presentations section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.[3][2]
