Il s'expatrie ensuite aux États-Unis où il travaille sur deux films sortis en 2002 : Photo Obsession de Mark Romanek et Le Cercle de Gore Verbinski.

« Le premier film est sorti en France quand j'étais ado, et c'était un de mes films préférés à l'époque. J'adorais aussi la série, qui a été tournée en partie en France, du côté de la Seine. Ma première réaction a été, comme tout le monde : “A-t-on besoin d'un remake ?” (...) Puis j'ai commencé à réfléchir à l'idée de reprendre ces super personnages d'une manière moderne, viscérale (...) Ce film repose sur un concept qui traverse les genres, avec des éléments de western, voyage dans le temps, fantastique, action, scènes contemporaines... »
