Independent: Netflix is on the hunt for a Gallic Francis Underwood — and reportedly may have found him in the form of Gerard Depardieu. The online streaming service is said to be tying up a deal to secure the French actor as a lead in the mold of the fictional U.S. president in a French take on “House of Cards.” In an effort to win a European audience, the company will be launching “Marseille,” its first original series to be made in France by the French, later this year. And Depardieu could play a starring role.
