Interesting facts

  • Filmed in: Montreal

File 13 is a Canadian crime comedy film, directed by Patrick Huard and released in 2010. The film centres on Thomas, Benoît and Jean-François, three bumbling police officers who unexpectedly stumble into an opportunity to try to capture Fecteau, a high-ranking figure in the sponsorship scandal who has managed to elude arrest for several years.

Production

The film was made by the same production team, and featured the same three primary stars, as The 3 L'il Pigs (Les 3 p'tits cochons), but was not a sequel.

It was originally slated to be directed by Louis Choquette, under the title Operation Tablet, with Huard coming in as director after Choquette dropped out due to scheduling conflicts. Choquette had cast Legault as Jean-François and Lemay-Thivierge as Thomas, with Huard choosing to swap their roles as he felt they fit the actors better.

It went into production in Montreal in fall 2009.
