Stretch (2011 film)
Stretch is a 2011 French film directed by Charles de Meaux. It stars Nicolas Cazal, Fan Bingbing and David Carradine. This was the final role of Carradine, who died in June 2009 while the film was in production.
De Meaux used his experiences as a former jockey while making the film. For his role as a jockey Cazal was forced to lose a large amount of weight. Stretch was shot in France at the Longchamp Racecourse and the MaisonsLaffitte Racecourse. Other scenes were filmed in Bangkok, Thailand and Macao. In Bangkok, three days before shooting wrapped David Carradine was found dead in his hotel, apparently from accidental asphyxiation. After Carradines death, his widow Annie Bierman sued MK2 Productions, the films production company, for negligence. Meaux rewrote the script and reduced his screen time to around three minutes although the characters frequently talk about his character and he is heard off camera. The films release was delayed when Carradines widow accused MK2 of negligence and sued them for wrongful death.
