Vincent Cassel plays an aging EDM DJ in the upcoming comedy thriller from French music video director So Me, aka Bertrand de Langeron. Artistic director of the Ed Banger label and known for his music videos for Justice, Kanye West, MGMT, and Kid Cudi, So Me is making his feature film debut with the still-untilted French feature for Netflix.

Black Swan and Ocean’s Thirteen star Cassel plays Scorpex, a once-famous DJ now on the downside who gets a chance to return to the top when an agent from French intelligence agency DGSI (played by Golden Mustache actress Laura Felpin) recruits him to take down Vestax (French YouTuber Mister V), his young and fast-rising rival on the EDM scene. Co-stars include Alexis Manenti, Déborah Lukumuena, Nina Zem, Nicolas Maury, Philippe Katerine, Kavinsky, Paul Mirabel, Panayotis Pascot, Manu Payet and Alice Moitié.

Netflix released the first image from the film (above), showing Cassel, Mister V and Felpin in front of the mixing board of a music studio.

Iconoclast, the group behind Romain Gavras’s Netflix actioner Athena, are producing the feature. Principle photography began in Paris on February 26.

Netflix has not yet announced a release date.

Cassel can next been seen in Terry McDonough’s action drama Damaged, alongside Samuel J. Jackson, Gianni Capaldi, John Hannah, and Kate Dickie. The French star is coming off the back-to-back releases of Martin Bourboulon’s Three Musketeer films The Three Musketeers – Part I: D’Artagnan and The Three Musketeers – Part II: Milady, in which he played Athos alongside François Civil (D’Artagnan), Romain Duris (Aramis), Pio Marmaï (Porthos), and Eva Green (Milady).
