Meet French David Tennant Stéphane Ronchewski

18 February 2014 Rob Buckley Post a comment

This is Stéphane Ronchewski.

Stéphane Ronchewski

You probably don’t recognise him, even though he’s featured in Broadchurch, The Dark Knight Returns, Twilight, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Minority Report and more.

That’s because he’s a French voice-over artist and dubs people’s voices. He was Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight Returns, Zach Galifianakis in Bored To Death, Jason Clarke in Brotherhood, Damon Wayans in My Wife and Kids and, yes, David Tennant in Broadchurch.

Versatile, non?

Want to hear what he sounds like? Here you go.

Did 19-2 just do a Spiral shout out?

10 February 2014 Rob Buckley Post a comment

19-2 is, for those who don’t know, a English-language Canadian remake of a French-language Canadian show, also called 19-2. Set in Montreal, it has the slightly novel, Wallander-esque touch of having everyone speaking English, even though they’re really speaking French. The signs are all in French, the newspapers are all in French… and even the movies are in French.

Engrenage

You’ll notice here that virtually all the movie titles are fake. But let’s look closely at that second one: Engrenage. There have been a few short movies called Engrenage or L’Engrenage, but not recent ones. So I’m just wondering if perhaps this was a nice shout out to France’s premier cop show, Spiral aka Engrenages.

Maybe not, but I’d like to think it was.
