The period film La Troisième Main, directed by Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist, OSS 117: Le Caire, nid d’espions, Le Redoutable), is set during the First World War. Wounded under the bombs, a young boy wakes up in the cellar of a scientist conducting disturbing experiments and discovers a mysterious hand growing from his abdomen.
The feature film stars François Civil (The Three Musketeers, Mon Inconnue, Deux moi) and Bérénice Bejo (The Artist, Le Passé, OSS 117: Le Caire, nid d’espions). For a 1916 medical scene, the production is looking for a background performer who can naturally fit into a rigorous historical reconstruction.
