Marion Cotillard narrated the forthcoming ‘Voyage sous les mers 3d‘ by the brothers Jean-Jacques & François Mantello. The film opens in French theatres next week, August 26. According to the movie’s official site as of today there will be 4 advanced screenings with the presence of the directors. Not sure, if that’ll include Marion on at least one of the screenings? Maybe she’s too busy shooting ‘Inception‘ (although I think they were only shooting in Paris for 3 days) or she went back to the set of ‘Les Petits Mouchoirs‘ again already.

Anyway, I added the French interview with Marion from the production notes, the video interview from MenStyle.fr, the trailer, the poster as well as a picture of Marion behind the microphone to the media sections.

Maybe someone could provide English translations soon? That’d be awesome. In the meantime a short summary. We learn that Marion was intrigued by the project as soon as she heard about it. She was approached while filming ‘Le dernier vol‘ in the Sahara. She’s done some diving herself and was amazed by the wonders of the ocean. According to her watching ‘Voyage sous les mers 3d‘ will feel like a real dive.

As previously announced Marion Cotillard attended a screening of ‘Public Enemies‘ in Lyon on July 3, 2009. Bakasphere.com kindly gave me permission to post his pictures from the event. [edit:] Actually, these (and 2 new) pictures were taken at the Hôtel de Ville, where Marion participated in the radio show ‘La tête dans les étoiles‘ for RTL just before the actual screening.[/edit]. ToxicGirls.org added a video of the 5-min interview with Marion, which took place before the screening, to DailyMotion. Find screencaptures & the clip in the media sections.

Note that some guy went up to the stage to ask for an autograph. Marion graciously signed for him but the interviewer made clear that this was to be an exception and that everyone else please remain seated. LOL

Presumably before or after the “La Fête du Cinema” Cocktail Lunch Marion also recorded an interview with French TV channel TF1. It aired during the evening news of July 1. I added captures and a clip. The audio is unfortunately out of sync with the video towards the end, but I couldn’t do a better job. Sorry.

Thanks to Paolo we have the full clip & lovely screencaptures of the long Marion Cotillard interview Canal+ aired this past Sunday as part of their Rencontres de Cinéma series. Enjoy!

If someone has time to provide a translated transcript you’re most welcome to do so as I have no time at all! Thank you!

I’ve added the new clips for the Olivier Dahan directed short film ‘The Lady Noire Affair‘ as well as the previous clips for the Peter Lindbergh photographed Paris campaign – all for Lady Dior – to the video archive. Some new Lady Noire stills also made their way into the gallery as well as the screencaptures of course. Enjoy!

I’ve finally added the clip of Marion Cotillard’s interview on “Le grand journal”, which took place May 18, 2009 during the Cannes Film Festival. Not only that but you can also find HQ screencaptures of the interview as well as an English translation. I hope the translation really conveys the meaning of what was said on TV.

I’ve diligently transferred all the existing video clips of Marion at public appearances from the old to the new archive – bringing the total count in the new archive to 110. I’ve also added 4 new clips: 2006 Cannes Festival, 2007 Hollywood Awards Interview (by a rather ignorant reporter…) and 2009 Oscars Backstage & Red Carpet.

And here’s the transcript of what Marion said to Kate Winslet during the recent Oscar ceremony:

Kate Winslet, with each new role you continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible. Your brilliant performance in “The Reader” encompasses all the qualities that have always drawn us to you: passion, vulnerability and extraordinary depth. As your character move through time, love and the most dire of circumstances we, as your audience Kate, never lose a connection to you. This is yet another unforgettable portrait from one of our most gifted actresses and one of our most inspiring. Thank you!

And something cute I found online:

Fresh off her emotional acceptance speech, best actress Oscar winner Kate Winslet was still shaking when she came backstage.

“Oh my God. Oh my god. Did I make any sense?” she asked presenter Marion Cotillard.
“Totally. Don’t worry,” Cotillard, last year’s winner, told her.
“I’ve got to phone my kids,” Winslet, still shaking, said as she headed toward a hallway.

Remember last October, how we posted that one of Marion’s first roles would air on TV? Ever helpful Paolo recorded Théo La Tendresse for us and now, half a year later, I finally added screencaptures and 3 clips with Marion Cotillard as Laura, protagonist Théo’s daughter.

Tonight, Marion Cotillard’s movie debut – the 1994 movie L’histoire du garçon qui voulait qu’on l’embrasse (Die Geschichte des Jungen, der geküsst werden wollte) – will air on German TV chain ARD at 1.45am. Hopefully, we’ll be able to provide caps of this as well.

I transferred all the movie trailers & clips of projects with Marion Cotillard from the old video archive and added also a few more, all I could find, actually. Among them a rare trailer for “Lisa“. There are now also French trailers for “A Good Year” and “Big Fish” as she provided her voice for the French versions as well. I also added a few trailers with either English audio or subtitles, e.g. for “Mary” or “Burnt Out“. In addition, I added some DVD Extras for “Jeux d’enfants“, “Taxi 2“, “La Boîte Noire” and “Les Jolies Choses“. There are now a total of 63 videos in the new archive – more to come!

I’ve installed a new Video Archive. Huge thank you goes to my wonderful host Fan-Sites.org, who’s hosting the media part of the website! I hope you’ll love the fact that you’ll be able to directly play the videos instead of having to download & unzip them first as much as I! Over the coming days the old archive will be transferred to the new one.

I’ve also taken the opportunity to some videos of Marion Cotillard during the recent Oscars. Thanks Mariana for recording one of the red carpet interviews!
