It’ll be shown at the 6th Festival du Film Français d’Helvetie in Bienne, Switzerland on September 18, 2010, 8pm as well as at the 54th BFI London Film Festival on October 16, 2010, 6pm and on October 18, 2010, 12pm.

And a little bit of trivia about the programmes. Les Enfants de la télé shows old and rare – maybe awkward – video clips of its guests. Taratata showcases live and pre-recorded footage of current rock acts and features unique duets as well as brief interviews with the artists. The prerecorded sessions air on France 4 every Tuesday at 8.35pm together with bonus material such as footage of rehearsals. Later, it also airs on France 2 (Fridays after midnight) and France 3 as well as throughout Europe on TV5 Monde on Saturday and on TV5 Québec Canada.

The sidebar has been updated with all of these dates.

The Toronto International Film Festival posted their official guest list today and as expected Marion Cotillard as well as director Guillaume Canet are to be at the festival for the world premiere of ‘Les petits mouchoirs‘ (Little White Lies) which is to take place on Saturday, September 11, 2010, 1.30 pm at the Royal Thomson Hall.

The French trailer for ‘Les Petits Mouchoirs‘ debuted today exclusively on MSN.fr. However, the same footage was already shown on Sunday during the Rencontres de cinéma avec Guillaume Canet on Canal+. During that interview also more scenes from the movie were shown for the first time! And recently a second Making Of video was released. The movie will be released in France on October 20.

Very big news for the movie came also in today! The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) announced their lineup of Galas and Special Presentations! So, ‘Little White Lies‘ (the movie’s English title) will celebrate its world premiere with a gala screening at the Canadian Film Festival!

Continuing with catching up on Marion’s activities in Cannes some pictures and a video from Tuesday when she was on Le Grand Journal. As you can see on the pictures of her arriving at the ‘studio’ and in the video she was accompagnied by Edith Piaf’s best friend Ginou. As last, year she also signed a bottle of limited-edition gold leaf Moët Methusalem – which will later be auctioned off in support of FilmAid International, the humanitarian aid organization that uses film and video to entertain and to educate communities in crisis around the world.

I updated the gallery with more pictures from the Chopard Anniversary party as well as of Marion out & about earlier the same day. Le Petit Journal (for Canal+) and Glanz & Gloria (for SF – Swiss TV) spotted and interviewed her on Monday and aired some footage of that on Tuesday evening. Additionally, Le Parisien stood next to SF during their interview and posted a different part of the interview (without the German voice-over) on their website.

As posted last night, Marion Cotillard attended the Chopard 150th Anniversary Party during the Cannes Film Festival. Either during or after the party she attended M‘s concert together with Guillaume Canet (source: Madame Figaro Blog). She looked glamourous & Rock’n'Roll in her metallic jumpsuit. I added some pictures to the gallery.

When Guillaume Canet was on Le Grand Journal earlier today (yesterday) he brought along 2 minutes of his upcoming movie ‘Les Petits Mouchoirs‘. It features Marion as a very fierce Marie in an unfortunate situation. The naughty boys are telling her to calm down but she just shouts that she IS calm! Guillaume is currently presenting a 10-minute Promo Reel at the film market. Let’s hope it gets picked up for foreign distribution so it’ll get released e.g in the US – and let’s hope for a trailer soon!

In other news, Marion & Guillaume were spotted by Madame Figaro‘s Marion Galy-Ramounot at the club “Heaven’s Floor by Albane” Sunday evening and by Gala outside their hotel on Monday. Earlier tonight Marion Cotillard was expected to attend Chopard’s 150th anniversary event according to The Globe and Mail. edit: some preview pictures here.

And Adrien Brody is joining the cast of ‘Midnight in Paris‘ according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The 63rd edition of the Cannes Film Festival starts tomorrow, May 12 and will run until May 23. While none of Marion’s upcoming movies are part of the line-up she is sure to be busy behind the scenes promoting them. Also the David Lynch directed Lady Dior short film is scheduled to be unveiled on Saturday, May 15. Will there be a special event at Cannes for this? I don’t know.

What is sure is that she’s the invited guest for Le Grand Journal next week on Wednesday, May 19 18 (source: Toutlatele.com Ozap.com, thanks Nadine for the heads up!). Additionally, AFP is reporting that Marion will be attending the amfAR benefit gala at the Eden Roc Hotel on May 21.

While we’re awaiting more news and especially pictures I added all the additional pictures from last year’s Cannes festival I still had sitting in some folders on my computer. Enjoy!

Marion Cotillard together with Penéloe Cruz and Daniel Day-Lewis will appear on the French Talk Show “Le Grand Journal” on Thursday, February 18, 2010.

As reported earlier, ‘Nine‘ will be shown at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival as the Birthday Special Gala. This will be on Friday, February 19, 2010 at 9pm the Friedrichstadtpalast. Reportedly, Marion Cotllard together with Penéloe Cruz and Daniel Day-Lewis will be present. They will stay at the Hotel Adlon. edit Feb 18 Penélope Cruz & Daniel Day-Lewis have cancelled their appearance. It is as of yet unconfirmed whether Marion will still be there.

3 years after getting international recognition when ‘La Vie en Rose‘ celebrated its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, Marion Cotillard could actually come back to Germany. Yesterday, the festival announced their line-up for the “Berlin Special” Gala screenings at the upcoming 60th Berlin International Film Festival. ‘Nine‘ is one of them – and it will actually be the festival’s Birthday Special screening ahead of its theatrical release in Germany. Upon inquiry by Welt Online they could not yet confirm any of the star’s appearances, though. Let’s hope Marion will attend!
