Be sure to visit LadyDior.com for yet another clip ahead of the May 15 release of the full David Lynch-directed Lady Blue short film.
It features the full footage of Marion Cotillard reciting the poem ‘It holds the love‘ as well as some blurry preview scenes and the full credits. And are those the red curtains (around 4 minutes into the video) Marion referred to in the Another interview (quoted here)?
As always some good quality screencaptures can be found in the gallery:
Why Shanghai and why the Pearl Tower? John Galliano: In each city we chose an iconic location that not only was very symbolic of the city, but also mirrored the Dior canage technique that defines the Lady Dior bag itself. In the David Lynch film Marion is reciting a poem that he wrote, and was inspired by the Pearl Tower itself – the words and building fuse in the picture he paints on screen. Shanghai is such a vibrant and inspiring city – plus it’s where we will be staging our Cruise 2010 collection. I wanted to pick cities that had a link with Dior, as well as a link with style… Dior is global what better way than these collaborations to show it!
I added a second brief clip which serves as a preview and making of for the forthcoming David Lynch-directed Lady Dior short movie. Also replaced the previous screencaptures with bigger ones.
LadyDior.com added a new clip: it’s a mixture of preview and behind the scenes footage of the upcoming Lady Dior short movie directed by David Lynch and set in Shanghai. Click away to see Marion dancing!
Last Friday, many Spanish websites reported that the governor of Veracruz, Mexico, Fidel Herrera Beltrán announced that they will received the producers of a Marion Cotillard movie this past Thursday and that she will be filming in Veracruz (source). Before long, they will also meet with Marion herself according to this. Many thanks Nadine for the heads up!
I have no idea what this could be about. Maybe ‘Second Coming‘ – for which she is also a producer – or possibly her documentary about re-forestation projects? What are your thoughts?
I added screencaptures of Marion’s scenes as Luisa Contini in ‘Nine‘ which was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK earlier this week. I’ll cap the extras at a later point.
I think pretty much everyone knows by now that Marion Cotillard is starring in Woody Allen’s new movie set in Paris and up until now only known as Woody Allen Summer Project 2011. We know a bit more about it now but first let’s start at the beginning.
It was reported on March 2 by Deadline.com that Woody Allen cast Marion Cotillard as the “Muse” in his new Paris-based movie. On April 4 it was confirmed by Le Parisien that Marion Cotillard had really been cast for the movie and that filming in Paris was scheduled to begin July 5.
Shortly afterwards, rumours emerged that Marion was replacing France’s first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy despite the NY Daily News reporting on April 4 that Ms Bruni was overheard as saying “It’s a real part, not just a cameo. But if I’m no good, I expect him to cut me out!” Official confirmation from Woody Allen’s rep that both Marion and Carla will be in the movie came via CNN on April 6.
Now onto the latest news. Variety reported that in a rare move Woody Allen announced a title as well as plot details for the movie yesterday. (usually he waits to see the finished product before giving it a name – if it’s good, he’ll give it an attention-getting title; if it’s bad, a less flashy one according to New York Magazine). Anyway, the movie is now titled “Midnight in Paris” and stars Owen Wilson, Marion Cotillard, Rachel McAdams, Kathy Bates and Carla Bruni. Also in the cast are Michael Sheen, Nina Arianda, Tom Hiddleston, Corey Stoll, Mimi Kennedy and Kurt Fuller.
Plot synopsis:
“Midnight in Paris” is a romantic comedy that follows a family travelling to the city for business, including a young engaged couple that has their lives transformed throughout the journey. The film celebrates a young man’s great love for Paris, and simultaneously explores the illusion people have that a life different from their own is better.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day today Vanity Fair asked environmentally conscious individuals, among them Marion, to make a wish for a greener world. Here’s the video:
This is Marion Cotillard. My wish for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day is awareness, good sense and love. Because it’s the only energy that can change things.
I spent this afternoon scanning some absolutely gorgeous Marion Cotillard editorials in recent fashion magazines. Most notably the one in Citizen K – even though they’re very similar I decided to scan both the Russian and the International issue. The Russian edition features Marion on the cover whereas the International issue has an additional picture from the photoshoot and of course an article in French – which is definitely easier to read and understand, at least for me. She talks about Nine and the song for the Dior campaign as well as music in general.
If somebody could translate this for the pressarchive it’d be highly appreciated, thanks!
And as promised – a long time ago – I replaced the pictures from the February issue of Madame Figaro with my own and better scans. I adore this particular set of pictures! Enjoy!
Kindly do not redistribute these scans at another Marion Cotillard fan site as they were obtained/donated exclusively for ‘Magnifique Marion Cotillard’. Thank you.
LadyDior.com added a lovely behind the scenes video to their website. We get a glimpse of what the Steven Klein photoshoot in Shanghai was like. Marion Cotillard stars as Lady Blue in the 3rd chapter of the Lady Dior campaign.
