The film, directed by Xavier Durringer and set for release late next year, will be the first movie to show the life of a French president while that president is still in office.
It will cover the five years leading up to his arrival at the Elysee palace.
Sarkozy's tough talk on Gypsies and immigrants in recent weeks has sparked a fierce backlash, drawing fire from the right, the left and the Catholic Church while failing to boost him in the polls.
