'Papillon' trivia and fun facts

Remake

Based on a (mostly) true story: 'Papillon' was adapted from a memoir written by Charrière first released in France back in 1969

Reunites 'Sons of anarchy' (2008) co-stars Tommy Flanagan and Charlie Hunnam.

There is a popular song based around someone remembering seeing the film with his father, called "Hey you Bastards, I'm still here!"

Papillon means 'Butterfly' and was Henri Charriere's nickname due to the butterfly tattoo on his chest.
