Quebec singer Robert Charlebois, veteran actor Colm Feore and “Dan For Mayor” star Fred Ewanuick are part of a sprawling ensemble cast shooting a bilingual comedy about Canada’s French-English divide this summer.

“Bon Cop Bad Cop” producer Kevin Tierney makes his directorial debut with “French Immersion,” about a group of five English-speakers — one each from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland, Ontario and New York — who converge on a small Quebec town to learn French.

“The Trotsky” director Jacob Tierney joins a cast also including “Love and Savagery”‘s Martha Burns, “This Hour Has 22 Minutes” comic Gavin Crawford, “Two and a Half Men”‘s Emmanuelle Vaugier, and “Polytechnique” lead Karine Vanasse.
Charlebois plays a senator who uses his influence to help the French-language school run by his daughter while Vanasse plays a teacher with a heart of gold.
Publicists say shooting takes place over the next six weeks in Saint-Cesaire, Que., about 60 kilometres east of Montreal.

The film is set for release on Canada Day, 2011.
