Over the past few days I was busy preparing for this huge post. I added clips and screencaptures of all the promotional interviews Marion Cotillard did for ‘Nine‘ – except talk shows. I also replaced some stills as well as the screencaptures of the 3rd trailer with better ones and added screencaptures of Marion rehearsing her dance routine.

Thanks to Nadine I added the full interview, screencaptures and the transcript with the ‘Nine‘ cast & director on Larry King Live as aired on December 15, 2009. Due to it’s length etc the interview was split in 4 clips. Enjoy!

About her plans for the future:

KING: The lovely Marion, what’s next?

COTILLARD: I want to travel. I’m going to go to Africa. I’m going to go to Peru. And I want to — I want to do a documentary about the forest.

KING: The forest?

COTILLARD: Deforestation and all amazing projects about reforestation. So I want to spend time in the forest.

Remember the ‘Nine‘ Luncheon at New York’s Per Se Restaurant on December 14, 2009 – the day after appearing on the Evening News on French TV and the day before the movie’s New York Premiere? Thanks to Nadine we have footage from it. ET aired a short interview with Marion during the luncheon together with some footage of the ‘Nine‘ New York premiere (more on that event later).

She also told a journalist about her plans for the holidays during the luncheon:

Marion Cotillard told me she’s spending Christmas in Brittany seeing her 100-year-old grandmother. Then it’s off to Tanzania for a week with her boyfriend before journeying to Los Angeles for awards season.

And the lunch — it didn’t end until 4pm, at which point Marion Cotillard just about fainted from jet lag, Nicole Kidman went off to do interviews and several people went home to nap or change and get ready for Ryan Kavanagh’s cozy dinner at the Pierre Hotel’s new lounge for his Relativity Media.

I certainly hope Marion is currently enjoying her week in Africa and able to relax from all the ‘Nine‘ and ‘Le dernier vol‘ promotion frenzy!

Yesterday, ‘Le dernier vol‘ (‘The Last Flight‘) entered into its 3rd week in French cinemas. So far it hasn’t been doing as well as could be wished for. I went to see it this past Monday evening and absolutely loved it. I uploaded a ton of ‘Le dernier vol‘ related material that’s been floating around since the movie’s release. Many thanks Nadine and everyone who helped me find these.

I’m sorry for the lack of updates but I’ve been in bed with a serious case of flu since Tuesday.

To start with I added some articles and interviews to the press archive:

• Cotillard has right number in ‘Nine’
• Daniel Day-Lewis, Fergie and Marion Cotillard live life Italian-style in ‘Nine’
• There’s perfect harmony among the six actresses in ‘Nine’

Fresh off the plane and looking gorgeous! Marion Cotillard attended a luncheon at Per Se in New York yesterday to promote ‘Nine‘. Other cast members to attend were Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, and Kate Hudson. Awards blogger Scott Feinberg was there too. And apparenly, Marion together with Rob Marshall, Daniel Day-Lewis Kate Hudson, Dame Judi Dench, and Maury Yeston are attending a preview of the movie right now.
