Check out the official Lady Dior Website for a preview of the Lady Rouge music video to the song ‘The Eyes Of Mars‘ performed by Marion Cotillard and Franz Ferdinand. The stylish music video was directed by Madonna’s favourite director Jonas Akerlund. Until March 5, 2010 – the day the music video will be online – enjoy some behind the scenes stills.

I also added HQ Print Campaign pictures and the cover of the Song. For the new Dior Autumn/Winter 2009 collection, Marion Cotillard is photographed by the emblematic Annie Leibovitz. An encounter between two women in the world’s most theatrical city, New York. Under the sign of the colour red, the brand’s mythical shade. Driven by passion and mystery, Lady Red reveals her many faces

Scene 1:
The Mirror symbolic
For a woman with a double life,
Daring by day, femme fatale by night.

Scene 2:
The Brooklyn Bridge as backdrop,
Its architecture and complex structur reminiscent of the famous “cannage” motif
Lady Rouge’s silhouette stands out agains the New York skyline.

Scene 3:
A femme fatale,
On the brink of taking her place in the spotlights,
Lady Red relaxes before taking the stage.

Probably before attending the Paris ‘Nine‘ Premiere (more on that later) Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz and Daniel Day-Lewis appeared on Le Grand Journal and the following Le Petit Journal last Thursday evening. I added screencaptures and clips. Enjoy!

As announced Marion Cotillard was the guest during last Wednesday’s evening news on France’s TF1. She talked about the rehearsals for ‘Nine‘, about the great rapport between all the actresses, about not being disappointed that she didn’t get nominated for an Oscar since awards can never replace playing a character, working with people, making good movies, telling stories – all of which are important to her – as well as about still acting in French movies e.g. for ‘Les Petits Mouchoirs‘. There’s also a cute “fangirl moment” at the end when Marion Cotillard is happy to meet meteo-presener Évelyne Dhéliat.

PS: Penélope Cruz and Daniel Day-Lewis have reportedly cancelled today’s appearance at the Berlin Film Festival. It’s as of yet unclear whether or not Marion is still going.

AnOther Magazine have put up exclusive content of their new Summer/Spring 2010 issue featuring Marion Cotillard on the cover up on their website. Very interesting is the behind the scenes video of Marion’s “Fashion Performance” – very much in context with the issue’s title Power of Performance.

Inspired by her powerful and chameleon-like portrayals, we decided to cast Marion Cotillard in our very own Fashion Performance. The current Lady Dior proved to the world she was master of both film and fashion when she elegantly carried off that Jean Paul Gaultier mermaid dress on the night she won Best Actress for her role as Édith Piaf. We looked to the work of the 1960s Fluxus movement to inform this one-off performance, full of intriguing yet unexplained meanings. In AnOther Magazine 18 the narrative continues in an interview, where Cotillard reveals her heroes, her passions, and the contents of her handbag.

And this is what editor in chief Jefferson Hack says about Marion:

Everyone fell in love with her on the shoot. As an actress, Marion Cotillard is the consummate performer. A dream to work with — almost too good to be true.

Marion Cotillard is on the cover of the upcoming issue of Another Magazine, out tomorrow. This is a preview of the (limited) cover as well as the interview:

Inspired by the instruction-based art of the Fluxus movement, AnOther Magazine gave cover star Marion Cotillard three instructions before her interview: bring an object you love; a photograph that makes you smile; and a piece of writing that has taught you something. The first object that tumbled from her bag was a vintage, folding Polaroid SX70, small enough to slide into her jacket pocket, a constant accompaniment across time zones and film sets. Her photographic heroes are Sarah Moon and Peter Beard. As for the photograph, she told us, “I couldn’t choose one. So I brought three. There’s a wood in Corsica where I went on holiday, a beach near Bordeaux I always go to, and a beautiful wood outside Paris, where I often stay with a friend.” The photographs – otherworldly, mysterious, peaceful havens – seemed to be a kind of quiet, talismanic antidote to the lively chaos that has surrounded Cotillard since 2007. The last object Cotillard brought along seemed to bring us full circle to her childhood quest for answers. She picked up a lovingly battered paperback, a collection of speeches, Freedom from the Known, given by the philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti. “It’s hard to choose one book that has changed things in your life,” she smiled. “But the way he talks about fears, happiness, violence, time, life, death, us. How to find your own vision, and understand human beings, is so inspiring. As an actress, I feel like an anthropologist of human emotions. I don’t observe people because I’m an actress and I want to steal things from them. It’s the other way around – I’m an actress because I find human beings so very interesting.”

Marion Cotillard starts her ‘Nine‘ promotion in France already tonight: she’s scheduled to appear during the evening news on TF1 at 8pm. There’s no way I can record this since I’m not home but they put the video up on their website afterwards.

Sadly, Oscarcast executive producers Adam Shankman and Bill Mechanic have dropped a bombshell, telling artists nominated for Best Original Song that they won’t be invited to perform the usual big production number (source). Thus our hopes of seeing Marion Cotillard perform the Oscar nominated song ‘Taking it All‘ during the show have been shattered.

As honorary president of this year’s César ceremony, Marion Cotillard attended the traditional luncheon with the nominees at the Paris restaurant Fouquet’s yesterday. She looked fabulous as you can see on these pictures.
