Biography
Julien Leclercq is a French film director, screenwriter and producer born on 7 August 1979. He began his career in 2004 with the short film Transit, a retro-future exploration of half-flesh, half-metal beings that caught the attention of producer Franck Chorot and Gaumont. Gaumont funded his debut feature Chrysalis with a budget of 8.7 million euros—a police-procedural noir set in Paris 2025, starring Albert Dupontel as a lieutenant hunting his wife's killer. Rather than double down on sci-fi, Leclercq shifted toward real historical events: L'Assaut reconstructed the hijacking of a Paris-Algiers flight in December 1994. His filmography expanded across genres: he directed the 2013 film The Informant, produced the 2014 crime drama L'Affaire SK1, and wrote and directed the 2015 heist thriller Braqueurs. As a screenwriter and director, Leclercq orchestrates both script architecture and visual execution—a dual control that defines his visceral, propulsive style. Born under Leo, his career reflects the sign's natural gravitation toward bold, commanding projects that demand audience attention. His work spans crime, science fiction, and historical reconstruction, anchoring each genre in procedural detail and moral ambiguity.
★ ORIGIN
Before Fame
Leclercq's breakthrough moment arrived in 2004 with the short film Transit, a speculative-fiction piece that showcased his visual imagination and caught the eye of major production houses. This three-minute calling card was enough to persuade Gaumont and producer Franck Chorot to fund his feature debut Chrysalis at 8.7 million euros—an unusually generous vote of confidence for a first-time feature director.
