John Cameron Mitchell – who directed Marion Cotillard’s Lady Dior short movie in London – ended his Mattachine’s club tour in Los Angeles last Sunday. LA Weekly published an interview with him on the occasion. And there was an interesting tidbid at the end of it:

While in LA, Mitchell will direct his second Dior commercial starring Marion Cotillard.

Marion will appear on The Daily Show on Thursday, September 8, 2011 at 11pm. She will no doubt be promoting Contagion which opens the following day in US/Canada. Check local guides for airing times in your area.

I added high quality screencaptures of yet another movie starring Marion Cotillard that has been released on Blu-ray in recent time: ‘Taxi 3‘. Enjoy!

The success story of ‘Midnight in Paris‘ is continuing. It has now taken $50 million at the U.S. box office – and is now Woody Allen’s top-grossing film of all time at the US box office. It had overtaken both Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Match Point‘s gross of $23.2 million in late June and has since beaten the $40.1 million earned 25 years ago by Hannah and Her Sisters.

Sony Pictures Classics have now announced their plans for a wide US re-release of ‘Midnight in Paris‘ as of August 26 (likely to expand to 900-1000 theatres as opposed to the current 400). The re-release will be accompanied by new TV ads. It seems like the studio to get the best out of the movie – both in terms of profit and Oscar buzz.

Also ‘Midnight in Paris‘ was released in theatres in German speaking territory (Germany, Austria & Switzerland) yesterday.

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

Back in June we posted about how there was a rumour that Marion might be in Jacques Audiard’s next movie  ’Un goût de rouille et d’os‘ (English title: Rust and Bone). The rumour was again raised earlier in the week, this time via a mention on UniFrance’s Facebook page.

We’ll have to wait and see if it gets confirmed, but until then some more information has popped up about the movie.

Marion Cotillard is coming to town.

She is going to be in my area/town October 3rd and this for 10 weeks. She will be shooting the new Jacques Audiard’s movie called “Un goût de rouille et d’os”. (A taste of rust and bones).

Multiple casting sites are looking for a woman between 18-40 who is thin, bilateral femoral or tibial amputee to cover for the main actress (the role that Marion is rumoured to be playing in the movie).

Meanwhile, Alexandre Desplat will be composing the music for the movie.

According to the casting notices the movie will start filming as early as September.

Yahoo! Movies has released individual character posters for ‘Contagion’ as Warner Bros steps up the promotion for the movie’s launch next month. I have also added some new stills that have been released (basically these have already been seen before in the trailer), credit to Cine Marcado for one of them.
