But Drouot said he's not sure if Thierry la Fronde would work today. “I don't want to see old Thierry de Janville,” he told a journalist (Drouot turned 85 in December). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
