A little something extra: a German remake already filmed behind Artus back

The phenomenal success of “Un p’tit truc en plus” and its 11 million admissions continue to make waves across our borders. While the French audience is getting ready to rediscover Artus and his gang on the small screen, the film is now exporting itself in the form of international adaptations. However, the original creator of the project seems to be the last to know. During a meeting organized by “AlloCiné” to promote the television broadcast, Artus discovered that the German version was already completely finished.

“I’m finding out at the same time as you!” : Artus surprised by this remake It was during a discussion with his producers that the comedian learned the news. “I’m finding out at the same time as you!” exclaimed Artus. Directed by Marc Rothemund, this German feature film entitled “Das Gewisse Etwass” (This little something extra in French) is expected to be released in September 2026. This adaptation will be released on the occasion of the cinema festival in Germany and will succeed the original version that had already been dubbed by our German neighbors.

For Artus, this multiplication of remakes remains an astonishing concept. He had previously admitted that he did not necessarily consider his work “remakable” in the strict sense of the term. “There isn’t an Arnaud down there, or a Ludo. I made a movie about them, I wrote according to them,” he explained to “AlloCiné”. Although he has personal doubts about the exercise of remaking, the international machine is well and truly in motion.

Can Artus’s story seduce the entire planet? Germany is just the first step of this global conquest as other countries have already taken an option on the story. Filming is set to begin soon in Spain while the American adaptation project is still in the works. In the United States, the original version has just been released in 200 theaters under Sony’s guidance. This expansion proves that Artus’s message of tolerance and humor has a universal appeal capable of captivating all global markets.

While waiting to see how foreign filmmakers will appropriate this story, French fans can rejoice in rediscovering the original work tomorrow evening on M6. The evening will be completed the following week by an unpublished documentary that will immerse viewers in the behind-the-scenes of this extraordinary human adventure. Between box office records and success on the red carpet at Cannes, “Un p’tit truc en plus” is not done making headlines.
