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.

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.

Marion Cotillard graces the cover of the new French Elle magazine – on newsstands since yesterday. Until I have time to add the actual scans of the magazines itself enjoy the portrait session of the pictures featured in the magazine and enjoy the article.

Noteworthy facts for non-French speakers: Marion Cotillard likened the 2-month rehearsals for ‘Nine‘ to Star Academy and Fame, she refused to campaign for an Oscar nomination this year and is still thinking about recording an album – with songs written by herself. But she’d need the right people to help her with it.

• Marion, la méga star, Elle, February 12, 2010

Thank you Nadine for the heads up that on February 18, 2010, 3.30pm Marion Cotillard will also be the guest on Michel Drucker’s radio show Studio Europe 1 during the ‘Nine‘ special.

028 Sessions from 2010 > Elle

Marion Cotillard together with Penéloe Cruz and Daniel Day-Lewis will appear on the French Talk Show “Le Grand Journal” on Thursday, February 18, 2010.

As reported earlier, ‘Nine‘ will be shown at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival as the Birthday Special Gala. This will be on Friday, February 19, 2010 at 9pm the Friedrichstadtpalast. Reportedly, Marion Cotllard together with Penéloe Cruz and Daniel Day-Lewis will be present. They will stay at the Hotel Adlon. edit Feb 18 Penélope Cruz & Daniel Day-Lewis have cancelled their appearance. It is as of yet unconfirmed whether Marion will still be there.

Meryl Streep won for her role in Julie & Julia in the category Marion Cotillard was nominated.

You may have noticed in the last post that the audio clips section – which used to be in the old video archive – are back! I continued working on it today and now everything I had on the computer is up on the site! So if you come across more audio interviews with Marion – especially in English – please let me know!

Guess what else Marion Cotillard did last Saturday: looking gorgeous and dancing on a photoshoot for the March cover of French magazine Jalouse. The photoshoot was last Saturday in Los Angeles.

First some additional pictures of Marion Cotillard at the ‘Nine‘ screening in Rome.

Upcoming Events:
Today, Marion Cotillard will (probably) attend the 15th annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards ceremony as she’s nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Red carpet arrivials will begin at 4PM (PT). The Critics’ Choice Awards ceremony will begin promptly at 6PM (PT) and will be broadcast live on VH1 Television Network at 9PM ET/PT. Details at Locate TV. Then, don’t forget the Golde Globe Awards on Sunday. More on that later.

Upcoming Talk Shows:
The recently announced talk show appearance on Live with Regis and Kelly was quietly cancelled. It seems that it was impossible for Marion to go on the show since she was in Los Angeles at business meetings. Don’t forget to watch the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson this coming Monday evening. And a new talk show appearance to note down in your diaries: Marion Cotillard is scheduled to appear on the Tavis Smiley show, Tuesday, January 19 Thursday, January 21 on PBS. Check your local listings because not all PBS stations carry Tavis’ show and if they do, the times and sometimes dates vary. Many thanks Pushpak for the info.

For both the upcoming event and talk show appearances, I’d appreciate any help with getting good quality screencaptures and video clips for the site. Thank you!

This & that:
Some background information of what went on at last Saturday’s Dior Cocktail party:

“Nine” producer Marc Platt unveiled a video she shot for her “Nine” number “Take It All.” “You may all know Marion is an Oscar-winning actress, but what you may not know is that she’s a talented music video artist,” he deadpanned. The clip showed bits from the film, rehearsal footage and outtakes of Cotillard in the recording studio. “Aaagh, this is so embarrassing,” she laughed as the small crowd, including directors Jim Sheridan, David Lynch and Michael Mann, and Tobey and Jennifer Maguire, broke into applause. Although tout Hollywood seems to want to work with her, Cotillard says she’s next turning her attention to a personal documentary on conserving the forestlands, which she was inspired to do after some friends raised her awareness about deforestation.

Then the upcoming rumoured Marion project ‘Second Coming‘ was recently mentioned by The Arizona Republic in an article about women’s rising power in Hollywood:

But if you do, and your stock is rising, it can happen. Bullock is one example. Marion Cotillard, an Oscar winner currently starring in “Nine,” is another. She’s a producer for the upcoming “The Second Coming.”

“What’s interesting is that time has changed, and now you, as an actor, can find a good story by yourself and make it happen,” Cotillard said, “like Charlize Theron with ‘Monster.’ . . . There are many ways to find roles if it doesn’t come to you from a director or producer. More and more actors are producing their movies. Maybe it’s because of that – they aren’t happy enough with the offers they get, or they want to do something else that directors will not think that they’re able to do.”

Many thanks Aurore for the following heads-up. Hugh Grant visited Le Grand Journal to promote his new movie ‘Did You Hear About the Morgans?‘ in France. During the comedy re-cap of recent news and gossip called Le Petit Journal there was a funny skit featuring Marion Cotillard. Did you think it funny how so many famous Hollywood men posed with Marion for photographs at the recent Dior Cocktail Party in her honour? Well, that’s what they thought as well, and they found a way for everyday citizens (and Hugh Grant) to do the same.

Each year, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts publishes a Film Awards Longlist ahead of announcing their final nominees. Marion Cotillard with her performance in ‘Nine‘ is one of 15 actresses short-listed for the “Leading Actress” award. Let’s hope that the confusion about her category placement won’t stand against her when the nominees are announced on January 21.

Marion Cotillard – again for her performance in ‘Nine‘ – is up for the Pantene Best International Actress award at the Irish Film and Television Awards. Other nominees are Penélope Cruz for ‘Broken Embraces‘, Anna Kendrick for ‘Up In The Air‘ and Meryl Streep for ‘It’s Complicated‘. This is a People’s Choice Award – residents of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are able to VOTE FOR MARION COTILLARD! The awards ceremony will take place in Dublin, February 20, 2010.

Marion Cotillard will be a guest on Live with Regis and Kelly on Friday, January 8, 2010, 9am. Visit Locate TV to get exact listings.

Tomorrow, Marion will be presented with the Desert Palm Achievement Actress Award by ‘Nine‘ director Rob Marshall at the Black Tie Awards Gala at the beginning of the 21st Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival – as previously announced. Apparently, the event will be covered by Entertainment Tonight’s Mary Hart as of 6pm PT.

In both cases I appreciate any help with video clips and good quality screencaptures. Thank you!

Thanks Nadine for the heads up: Marion will make a 3rd appearance on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on January 18, 2009 – the day after the Golden Globes. I know I’m looking forward to this, should be entertaining!

I added many more pictures of Marion & Guillaume at the final day of the Gucci Masters on Sunday, a four-day unique equestrian event featuring the cream of the world’s best show jumpers.

036 International Gucci Masters Competition – Day 4

Marion also scored her 4th nomination for her performance as Luisa Contini in ‘Nine‘ yesterday. This time by the St. Louis Film Critics. Congratulations!

Marion Cotillard, for “Nine”
Vera Farmiga, for “Up in the Air”
Anna Kendrick, for “Up in the Air”

Other nominations for ‘Nine‘: Best Cinematography and Best Music. The winners will be announced on December 21.

Later today, at 5am Pacific Time, the Golden Globe Nominations will be announced. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for Marion and the ‘Nine‘ gang!

Something I added belatedly to the post about Marion’s schedule: You will be able to watch the ‘Nine‘ premiere in New York LIVE! Be sure to tune in today at 6.45pm Eastern Time.

Before looking ahead let’s quickly review where Marion’s been in the last weeks:

November 14-16 she attended public ‘Nine‘ events in New York. Afterwards she did some ‘Nine‘ promotion in Los Angeles before returning to Paris, France. In the first week of December she was in Shanghai with David Lynch to shoot a short movie for Dior (thus missing the London ‘Nine‘ premiere). She returned to Paris, France last week where she started doing ‘Le dernier vol‘ promotion. Most notably on TV last Wednesday and yesterday but of course also behind the scenes. Places she could have gone as well – if she could be in two places at the same time – are the ‘Nine‘ premieres in Dubai and Los Angeles as well as the ‘Public Enemies‘ premiere in Japan. Due to Marion’s and Guillaume’s commitments there will be no ‘Le dernier vol‘ premiere this week in France (source: director Karim Dridi on official Facebook page).

What lies ahead? Marion is travelling to New York now.

December 15, 2009
• ‘Nine‘ premiere in New York, 6pm ET Watch live
• Larry King Live on CNN at 9pm ET (together with Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson, Daniel Day Lewis, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Sophia Loren, Fergie and director Rob Marshall)
• Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on NBC at 12.35/11.35 C
December 16, 2009
• Variety ‘Nine‘ Screening with Q&A, AMC Lincoln Square (NY) at 8.30pm (with director Rob Marshall)

Probably she’ll be heading to Los Angeles for awards season afterwards. Remember, ‘Le dernier vol‘ opens in France on Wednesday (Dec 16) and ‘Nine‘ opens in New York and Los Angeles on Friday (Dec 18).

To promote ‘Le dernier vol‘ Marion Cotillard graces the cover of tomorrow’s Madame Figaro – for the 3rd time this year! Thanks to Mariana I added the scans to the gallery.

And another TV Alert Marion Cotillard and Guillaume Canet will appear on 20 heures, which airs on France 2, on Sunday, December 13, 2009.

While we await the big interview with the whole ‘Nine‘ cast on ABC ‘Nightline’ tomorrow I added some behind the scenes pictures from when the interview was recorded at New York’s legendary Plaza Hotel. ABC promises a feisty and intimate conversation. Be sure to tune in tomorrow, Thursday, Dec. 10, 2009 at 11:35 p.m. ET.

Marion Cotillard wasn’t on France’s Le Grand Journal tonight but at the end of tonight’s episode they announced that Marion and Charlotte Gainsbourg will be on tomorrow at 20.10h.

Hi everyone, it seems I’m back from my vacation. I’m slowly reading up on everything that has happened in the Marion world so be patient with me. Thank you so much Mariana for keeping the site updated during my absence!

To start off: 2 talk show alerts for this week:

Thursday, December 10, 11:35pm (ET/PT)
A (probably pre-recorded) interview with the whole ‘Nine‘ cast will air on ABC News “Nightline”. Marion Cotillard as well as Sophia Loren, Dame Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Stacy Ferguson (Fergie), Daniel Day Lewis, and Nicole Kidman will talk about their favorite moments during filming, the surprising details they learned about themselves and each other in the process, and their opinions of the film’s award winning director, Rob Marshall.

The new trailer for ‘Nine‘ to air on TV November 22 debuted today (November 16, US time) exclusively on Yahoo! It is set to Kate Hudson’s Cinema Italiano and unfortunately doesn’t feature many scenes with Marion Cotillard – more glimpses. But I’m sure you’ll enjoy the HQ captures I added to the gallery.

The earlier announced ‘Nine’ micro-website on ABC.com has gone online and offers a sweepstakes to the New York premiere of ‘Nine‘ – which will take place after December 3 when the sweepstake ends. The Making Of is not yet online but a gallery. Be also sure to check out Yahoo!’s ‘Nine’ site to watch the new trailer in HD!

Marion Cotillard together with Daniel Day-Lewis, Judi Dench, Kate Hudson, Penelope Cruz, Stacy “Fergie” Ferguson, Producer/Director Rob Marshall, and Producer John Deluca will attend the Variety Screening of the movie on Monday, November 16, 8pm in New York and take part in the Q&A session afterwards.

[edit:] The taping of the Oprah interview takes place this Friday, November 13, 2009. Thanks Nadine!

I added the scans from the December issues of both the UK and the Japanese Harper’s Bazaar. Many thanks Lorna and Kelly for scanning the features for us!

I also added a transcript of the UK magazine – it’s mostly to promote Beds are burning, but also Nine. It has information about Marion’s engagement for the environment that previously only French publications have written about. Obviously, I don’t understand the Japanese article but it’s to promote ‘Public Enemies‘.

We recently posted about the December 8, 2009 release of ‘Public Enemies‘ on DVD & Blu-Ray in the US. Now I learned that the movie will be released in the UK already next Monday, November 2, 2009.

Again, you can order from Amazon.co.uk:
Public Enemies [Blu-ray] [2009] • Public Enemies [DVD] [2009]

The DVD Extras includes only the commentary with director Michael Mann while the Blu-Ray has the same extras as the upcoming US Blu-Ray (except the interactive BD Live features). DVD owners should note that HMV are offering a 2-Disc Exclusive Edition. Exact details are TBC but it is likely to include the hour of featurettes from the Blu-ray on the second disc. (source)

Many thanks to Lorna for her scans from Sunday’s issue of Sunday Express: S magazine. I’ll add a transcript of the article soon – but as you’ll discover from reading the scanned article it offers nothing new.

[edit:] • La Vie en Rose, Sunday Express, October 25

Many thanks kelemenmarc for the heads up! The Hollywood Film Festival Award Committee has selected Marion Cotillard (along with 9 other great actresses) for the Hollywood Female Star of the Year Award. It is up to us to vote for her! She faces tough competition, especially from Megan Fox. The final awards will be presented at the Hollywood Movie Awards Gala Ceremony on October 26.

No idea what they will be airing but the official ‘Nine‘ Twitter account just said that we should tune in to ‘The Insider’ on CBS tonight at 7:00 PM EST / 7:30 PM. Maybe a second trailer?!

Also, if anyone could record it for me as I (and many other Marion fans) don’t live in the US that be wonderful! Thanks.

Despite previous denial, the US release date for ‘Nine‘ has indeed been pushed back. It will now open in New York and Los Angeles on December 18 before going wide on Christmas, December 25.

I’m going to add pictures from Tuesday’s Silent Gathering soon. In the meantime enjoy this preview of the Vogue November cover, featuring Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Kate Hudson. Many thanks Kelly for the heads up.

Your thoughts?

This information comes from the IMDb messageboards via Nicole’s magic:

The issue is due out on Oct 20. I don’t know if it will actually show up any earlier than that. I think I can safely say that the cover shot features Kidman, Cotillard, Cruz, and Hudson, and I believe is from the earlier Leibovitz beach shoot. It’s a beautiful image.

More from the same IMDb user via Kelly:

There is a lovely black and white spread of all the main women inside the magazine. It is from a different shoot and one I haven’t seen elsewhere. I don’t know if there will be any more, but I did see the cover and that one spread. There, it’s out.

While we’re waiting for the magazine to hit newsstands why don’t you head over to the gallery to look once more at the behind the scenes pictures from said beach shoot.

It has been announced today, that ‘Inception‘ – directed by Chris Nolan and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, and Michael Caine – will be released in IMAX theatres as well as in traditional theatres on July 16, 2010:

“Chris Nolan and IMAX have proven to be ideally suited to each other, and we’re very excited to bring them back together again for Inception,” said Dan Fellman, Warner Bros. Picture’s president of domestic distribution. “With the rapidly growing IMAX network, our IMAX audience base for this release will be significantly larger than it was for The Dark Knight, which will add to the film’s event status.”
