It seems that the world premiere for ‘Nine‘ in London on November 4 has been cancelled. This is totally understandable as the release date has been pushed back.

For months the media have been speculating whether Marion in her role as Luisa Contini will be campaigned as Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress for the Oscars. While the Academy will be free to place her in any category they like the production of the movie have confirmed that Marion will be campaigned as lead female character for the next award season. All the other ladies will be supporting. Besides being the actress with the most screentime in ‘Nine‘ anyway it was also a wise decision because that way Marion will have a shot in the supporting category for her role in ‘Public Enemies‘.

The December issue of UK’s Empire magazine has a ‘Nine‘ feature. As a preview I’ve added the Marion relevant page to the gallery. Scan courtesy of Lorna. Many thanks!

The official movie website has been updated with gorgeous teaser content. Go check it out!

The ‘Nine‘ soundtrack will be released December 22! (source)

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)

Lots of ‘Le dernier vol‘ goodies: I added more gorgeous posters and stills to the gallery as well as totally adorable behind the scenes pictures. They’re quite small but lovely nonetheless. Additionally, I added some interviews and background information about the movie to the press archive. This is all in French, so if someone would like to provide translations, you’re very welcome to do so! All of this comes from the French Production Notes, many thanks Nadine for sharing!

Thanks for the heads up Nadine. The Daily Mail has new pictures from the set of ‘Inception‘, including one with Marion.

But looking at these shots from the set in downtown Los Angeles, it seems a rather complicated romantic interest could also be on the cards.

During the scene, Di Caprio calls frantically to Miss Cottilard as she leans rather coolly out of her own window.

The Titanic star must have a head for heights because he looked completely at ease in between takes.

Thanks to gossipcom I replaced the existing ‘Le dernier vol‘ (‘The Last Flight‘) stills except one with HQ versions and added many new ones. Additionally, she also shared the poster of the movie with us. Many thanks! This movie just looks so pretty and I can’t wait to see it! Probably, we’ll get a trailer soon.

Exclusive from Yahoo! comes the original Rehearsal Montage (also in HD) that was used for the recent ET Behind the Scenes peek. I added the clip to the video archive and replaced the very low quality ET caps with beautiful HQ screencaps from this new montage. Enjoy!

As she mentioned before, Marion Cotillard went straight from the ‘Les petits mouchoirs‘ set to the LA set of ‘Inception‘. She joined Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page on the set on Malibu beach last Friday. I added 3 pictures to the gallery. I love her outfit!

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.

This year’s American Film Market will take place November 4 – 11, 2009 in Santa Monica, California, US. During that time a total of 445 films will be screened, many of which world premieres. Among those is Marion’s much awaited first leading role and her first French film since ‘La Vie en Rose‘ in ‘The Last Flight‘ (‘Le dernier vol’). It will be screened at the AMC Loews Broadway #3 cinema on the following days:

The American Film Market (AFM) is a marketplace where producers and sales companies license films to distributors. The AFM is not a festival. As far as I was able to see from their website the event is not open to the general public. As Marion will likely be stationed in that part of the world at the time to film ‘Inception‘ I’m wondering if she’ll attend?

In any case, the info page for ‘The Last Flight‘ tells us that the movie has a runtime of 98 minutes and provides us (finally) with an official English synopsis:

Marie, an obstinate, adventuresome, young pilot, sets out to track down her lover, who has vanished in the Sahara during a record flight attempt from London to Cape Town. Her unexpected arrival turns life upside down for a remote French Camel Corps troop that is already preoccupied with the stirrings of a Tuareg uprising.

Antoine, a captain in conflict with his superior officers, decides to help Marie with her desperate quest across a grandiose and hostile sea of sand.

In the oppressive heat, their desire to survive slowly binds them in a disturbing and unexpected love story.

Let’s hope all goes well for ‘The Last Flight‘ and some US distributor picks it up so that it will find its way to US theatres soon!
