Coinciding with Saturday’s César Ceremony, which Marion will be president of, Madame Figaro feature Marion Cotillard on the cover with an absolutely gorgeous new photoshoot! Ahead of the magazine’s release the lovely Mariana has donated exclusive scans. Thank you so very much & enjoy!

009 Madame Figaro (France) – February 27

Marion Cotillard is on the cover of the upcoming issue of Another Magazine, out tomorrow. This is a preview of the (limited) cover as well as the interview:

Inspired by the instruction-based art of the Fluxus movement, AnOther Magazine gave cover star Marion Cotillard three instructions before her interview: bring an object you love; a photograph that makes you smile; and a piece of writing that has taught you something. The first object that tumbled from her bag was a vintage, folding Polaroid SX70, small enough to slide into her jacket pocket, a constant accompaniment across time zones and film sets. Her photographic heroes are Sarah Moon and Peter Beard. As for the photograph, she told us, “I couldn’t choose one. So I brought three. There’s a wood in Corsica where I went on holiday, a beach near Bordeaux I always go to, and a beautiful wood outside Paris, where I often stay with a friend.” The photographs – otherworldly, mysterious, peaceful havens – seemed to be a kind of quiet, talismanic antidote to the lively chaos that has surrounded Cotillard since 2007. The last object Cotillard brought along seemed to bring us full circle to her childhood quest for answers. She picked up a lovingly battered paperback, a collection of speeches, Freedom from the Known, given by the philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti. “It’s hard to choose one book that has changed things in your life,” she smiled. “But the way he talks about fears, happiness, violence, time, life, death, us. How to find your own vision, and understand human beings, is so inspiring. As an actress, I feel like an anthropologist of human emotions. I don’t observe people because I’m an actress and I want to steal things from them. It’s the other way around – I’m an actress because I find human beings so very interesting.”

Marion Cotillard starts her ‘Nine‘ promotion in France already tonight: she’s scheduled to appear during the evening news on TF1 at 8pm. There’s no way I can record this since I’m not home but they put the video up on their website afterwards.

Sadly, Oscarcast executive producers Adam Shankman and Bill Mechanic have dropped a bombshell, telling artists nominated for Best Original Song that they won’t be invited to perform the usual big production number (source). Thus our hopes of seeing Marion Cotillard perform the Oscar nominated song ‘Taking it All‘ during the show have been shattered.

Marion Cotillard graces the cover of the new French Elle magazine – on newsstands since yesterday. Until I have time to add the actual scans of the magazines itself enjoy the portrait session of the pictures featured in the magazine and enjoy the article.

Noteworthy facts for non-French speakers: Marion Cotillard likened the 2-month rehearsals for ‘Nine‘ to Star Academy and Fame, she refused to campaign for an Oscar nomination this year and is still thinking about recording an album – with songs written by herself. But she’d need the right people to help her with it.

Guess what else Marion Cotillard did last Saturday: looking gorgeous and dancing on a photoshoot for the March cover of French magazine Jalouse. The photoshoot was last Saturday in Los Angeles.

Nine is featured on the cover of the new issue of Aussie film magazine FilmInk, with an article on the movie inside. The magazine hits newsstands on December 11th, and you can purchase a copy of the magazine by contacting dina@filmink.com.au with your inquiry. For more information about FilmInk Magazine, please have a look at their website, http://www.filmink.com.au.

Thanks to Nicole’s Magic for this media alert.

I added the scans from the December issues of both the UK and the Japanese Harper’s Bazaar. Many thanks Lorna and Kelly for scanning the features for us!

I also added a transcript of the UK magazine – it’s mostly to promote Beds are burning, but also Nine. It has information about Marion’s engagement for the environment that previously only French publications have written about. Obviously, I don’t understand the Japanese article but it’s to promote ‘Public Enemies‘.

Many thanks to Lorna for her scans from Sunday’s issue of Sunday Express: S magazine. I’ll add a transcript of the article soon – but as you’ll discover from reading the scanned article it offers nothing new.

[edit:] • La Vie en Rose, Sunday Express, October 25

Marion Cotillard graces the cover of the December issue of the Japanese Harper’s Bazaar. The shoot featured in the magazine is this one. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get my hands on a copy of this magazine so please let me know if you’re able to provide scans. Thank you!

002 Sunday Express: S (UK) – October 25
001 Harper’s Bazaar (Japan) – December

I’m going to add pictures from Tuesday’s Silent Gathering soon. In the meantime enjoy this preview of the Vogue November cover, featuring Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Kate Hudson. Many thanks Kelly for the heads up.

Your thoughts?

This information comes from the IMDb messageboards via Nicole’s magic:

The issue is due out on Oct 20. I don’t know if it will actually show up any earlier than that. I think I can safely say that the cover shot features Kidman, Cotillard, Cruz, and Hudson, and I believe is from the earlier Leibovitz beach shoot. It’s a beautiful image.

More from the same IMDb user via Kelly:

There is a lovely black and white spread of all the main women inside the magazine. It is from a different shoot and one I haven’t seen elsewhere. I don’t know if there will be any more, but I did see the cover and that one spread. There, it’s out.

While we’re waiting for the magazine to hit newsstands why don’t you head over to the gallery to look once more at the behind the scenes pictures from said beach shoot.

A brand new Lady Dior Ad! On the last page of the September issue of Vogue Paris I found this ad with a very glamourous Marion Cotillard as Lady Red in New York. I added a HQ scan to the gallery.

So far, I spotted New York Lady Dior ads (the first version) in the UK September issues of Elle and Harper’s Bazaar.
