And here I am again with yet another update for today. Guess what the postman brought after lunch? The June issue of Harper’s Bazaar Singapore. Luckily I was home because he needed my signature. I especially bought this magazine because it features additional pictures of that absolutely gorgeous new photoshoot by Peter Lindbergh. The editorial is called ‘Le Magnifique Marion’ – what a good title, eh? My top picks are scans #3 and #6. Enjoy!

Kindly do not redistribute these scans at another Marion Cotillard fan site as they were obtained exclusively for ‘Magnifique Marion Cotillard’. Thank you.

006 Harper’s Bazaar (Singapore) – June

Thank you everyone who emailed me about this and posted links in the forum. I’ve now added some additional pictures of Marion Cotillard as Billie Frechette taken on the set of ‘Public Enemies’ to the gallery. Some of those date back to the end of April and the newer batch is from last week. Doesn’t she look sublime? I can’t wait for this movie. The gallery now contains a total of 24,000 (!) pictures.

I’ve once again taken up the task of completing the ‘new’ gallery. Although I haven’t worked on it since early April don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten. After today’s updates the gallery now contains the complete event galleries for the years 1998 – 2006. Not only have I transferred all the photos from the old gallery but I’ve also sorted any additional pictures I could find on my hard disk and uploaded them for your viewing pleasure – a total of 811 pictures! Stay tuned for the 2007/2008 pictures.

Earlier this week ‘Chloé‘ was released on DVD in France (Buy). The TV movie from 1996 comes with no extras and no subtitles – just the plain film in the original French language. The movie was hard to come by up until now and no doubt because of Marion Cotillard’s recent Oscar win France 2 decided to release this film on DVD now.

Note how the DVD cover reads “Marion Cotillard, Oscar and César for Best Actress in ‘La Vie en Rose’, in her first role. Featuring the music of ‘L’hymne à l’amour’ by Edith Piaf”. It must be stated however, that although Chloé was indeed one of Marion’s first roles it was not the first. That’d be the role of Lori Bellian in an episode of ‘Highlander’ – also directed by Chloé director Dennis Berry.

I’ve had a low quality version of the movie for a while but never managed to make screencaptures from it. Now that the film is available on DVD I couldn’t resist buying it even though I have to admit that this is my absolute least favourite movie out of Marion’s resumee. Nontheless, she gives a very strong, powerful and harrowing performance, really remarkable – especially considering she was only just 20 years old at the time and at the beginning of her acting career.

I’ve had this feature for a while now but due to me moving house I never had the time to scan it. I’m almost 100 % settled at my new place now so I will be able to update this site more than during the past month.

The May issue of Swiss magazine ‘Style’ featured 2 new absolutely gorgeous pictures of Marion Cotillard taken by acclaimed photographer Peter Lindbergh (he also took the Italian Vogue pictures). If everything goes as I think it will I will soon have a few additional pictures from this set. Stay tuned.

Kindly do not redistribute these scans at another Marion Cotillard fan site as they were obtained exclusively for ‘Magnifique Marion Cotillard’. Thank you.

In addition, I scanned the cover of the recent UK Style magazine which we already had a scan of the inside picture from.

The first pictures of Marion Cotillard as Billie Frechette have surfaced. Thanks everyone who pointed them out to me. First, there are some pictures of Marion doing a scene at night on Diginux‘s blog. Then someone posted some absolutely gorgeous pictures on The Fashion Spot Forum. I’ve added those to the gallery but am not sure who deserves to be credited for them. If anyone has any info (or also additional pictures hehe) don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Riikka and Karen sent in scans of recent publications in the UK – both featuring previously unseen pictures. Many thanks! Enjoy!

As the regular gallery visitors may have noticed already the old gallery is not really working anymore. Reason for this is that I upgraded WordPress to the latest version and somehow the plugin didn’t get activated correctly again. Now of course I could fix it but that’d just take time away that I’d rather spend on the new gallery. Therefore general registration has been disabled – and I’ve fixed the registration problem on the forum. Setting up an account to participate in our Marion Cotillard discussions should only be a matter of a couple minutes. Please get in touch if you still encounter a problem.

In the meantime all the previously available scans have been moved to the new Magazine Scans section. I’ve also added some contributions and new scans.

01 Télé 7 Jours (France) – March 8 – 14
03 Madame Figaro (France) – March 8
05 L’Express Styles (France) – March 6 – 12
04 Télé 2 Semaines (France) – March 1 – 14
07 Premiere (France) – March (replaced the previous scans with my own)
14 Elle (US) – March
09 XL Semanal (Spain) – February 24 – March 1
02 ShortList (UK) – February 7, scanned by Mariana

Do you have an account on Facebook? Laura let me know about her group dedicated to Marion called The Marion Cotillard Appreciation Society so be sure to join and to tell all your friends about it!

Gallery news: I finished transferring & adding all the pictures in the section Movies. The only really new pictures are some additional and/or better quality stills from ‘Les Jolies Choses’ (Pretty Things) as well as caps from a DVD extra:

115 Les Jolies Choses – DVD Screencaptures > Full Lucie F. video

I’m happy to say that the Television, TV Appearances etc, and Fanart & Various categories have all been completely moved to the new gallery – which means I’m about 20% done with the move, I’d say. Due to the way the old gallery is storing preview pictures they seem to still be in the old gallery too. Anyways, I’ve still not finished the ‘Chloé’ screencaptures I started last August but I added some new (and rare, I think) HQ stills from Marion’s 2001 TV thriller ‘Une femme piegée’:
