Finally! ‘Public Enemies‘ can be seen in US theatres as of today! Be sure to head out and watch Marion’s first movie since ‘La Vie en Rose‘ (2007). The movie will open in the UK July 3, in France July 8, in Australia July 30, and in Germany August 6 (see more dates).

Check out the many features on the movie’s official site! And read some new interviews:

• Stormy role’s French twist, Journal Sentinel, June 27
• Marion Cotillard is ready for her close-ups, Twincities.com, June 30

Next, Marion Cotillard’s scheduled to promote ‘Public Enemies‘ in her home country France. First, she’ll attend the movie’s premiere in Paris tomororrow.

On Friday she’s the star guest of Radio RTL. In the morning (9.00-9.30 am) she’ll be interviewed during a programm called Laissez-vous tenter and in the afternoon she’ll participate in the programme La tête dans les étoiles together with Laurent Boyer. And in the evening there will be a screening of the movie in Lyon.

As previously announced, there’ll be a TV interview titled Marion Cotillard, la rencontre (20 minutes) airing on Canal+, Sunday 11.55 am.

I’m in and out of town this and next week but I’ll try to update the site as much as possible.

I added 6 more ‘Public Enemies‘ stills. As you must have noticed, Marion Cotillard is very busy at the moment and I could almost constantly update the site with news etc. My own life however, is pretty busy too right now, so I don’t know how soon I will catch up with everything. Thank you for your patience!

Don’t forget, Marion will appear on Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson tonight at 12:35am ET/PT on CBS.

New release date for ‘Le dernier vol‘ in France is November 11, 2009.

Marion Cotillard’s character in ‘Inception‘ is reportedly called Lisa Hastley.

This is quite a surprise. While the official ‘Public Enemies‘ is scheduled for next Tuesday, there will be a red carpet event at 6pm tonight prior to a screening of the film at AMC River East, 322 E. Illinois. Director Michael Mann and stars Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard are among the principals scheduled to walk the red carpet and talk to the press about the film.

Illinois Street will be blocked off in front of the multiplex, but there will be a few sidewalk and bleacher seats for fans eager to see Depp and the other actors.

Also, the 12 minute featurette PUBLIC ENEMIES: HBO FIRST LOOK starts airing on HBO this afternoon. Check out the complete schedule here.

According to the Talk Show Lineup Marion Cotillard is scheduled to appear on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, June 22, 12:35am ET/PT on CBS. To avoid confusion, the interview will air during the night from Monday to Tuesday.

You may remember her successful appearance on the show back in January 2008 so this is most definitely something to look forward to.

The following day, June 23, at 7.30pm ‘Public Enemies‘ will have its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival and Marion is scheduled to attend.

Mark your calendars! Marion Cotillard will appear on Laurent Weil’s show Rencontres de cinéma to promote Public Enemies. July 5, 2009 at 11.40am on Canal+

The reason why Marion Cotillard will be making an official appearance at the Cannes Film Festival today is because she’s to present at the Chopard Trophy Ceremony at the Martinez Hotel tonight. She herself won the award back in 2004 – after her work in Love Me If You Dare and A Very Long Engagement received much praise.

Remember, between 7.05 and 9.00 pm she’s also scheduled to appear on Le Grand Journal which airs on Canal+. The broadcast will later be available online but I’d still love to have HQ screencaptures for the gallery if anyone’s able to record it for us. Thanks!

I added a ‘Public Enemies‘ background story from the San Francisco Chronicle to the press archive. The middle part is an interview with Marion. She talks about her Johnny Depp’s characters first meeting, working with Johnny and of course the American accent. Be sure to read it!

• Depp as Dillinger in ‘Public Enemies’

An exclusive behind the scenes featurette (13 minutes) PUBLIC ENEMIES: HBO FIRST LOOK will air on HBO starting Tuesday, June 18, 2009. See the complete schedule here. Please, could anyone in the US be on the lookout for any Marion footage in this feature? If there is anything new we would be so happy to have a clip for the video archive here on the site, thank you!

Oh, and Ken Watanabe and Tom Hardy joined the incredible cast for Marion’s new movie ‘Inception‘.

“My fairy tale ends in few hours,” laughed Marion Cotillard, who arrived on the arm of John Galliano clad in a blush Dior column. “I have to be in the airport as soon as the dress and diamonds come off.” – Marion Cotillard at the Costume Institute Gala

MSN debuted the first ‘Public Enemies‘ poster today, as well as some new stills. But none feature a new Marion still. Still, very exciting! Especially to see that out of the all star cast it’s Marion and Christian Bale who, in addition to Johnny Depp of course, get to have their names on the poster – it seems the two have equal billing positions. And it’s certainly nice to read Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard on a poster!

Also word is out that ET will debut some exclusive footage as well as a preview of the trailer tonight! Watch the preview for the preview and don’t forget to tune in to spot Marion as Johnny Depp’s Dillinger’s girlfriend Billie.

The actual trailer should be online either tomorrow or Thursday and it can be admired on the big screen as of Friday. Don’t know which movies will show the ‘Public Enemies‘ trailer, though, sorry.

Also, it was reported last Friday by highly reliable Daily Mail correspondant Baz Bamigboye that ‘Public Enemies‘ might be chosen for the Cannes Festival movie line-up:

Cannes Film Festival selectors are due to look at a rough cut of Public Enemies, the movie about 1930s Public Enemy No1 John Dillinger. A delegation of Cannes Film Festival officials will travel to Los Angeles soon to view footage.

The picture, directed by Michael Mann, also stars Christian Bale, Channing Tatum and Carey Mulligan. It’s not certain yet whether it would have an opening night slot or a special premiere during the festival in May.

One factor that has to be sorted is whether or not Depp has the time (or the inclination) to attend Cannes. He’s busy doing additional filming on Alice In Wonderland and has two other projects to film back to back.

Also, Depp and Mann clashed on the set – but they’re both professionals and are most likely over it now.

Festival organisers are already holding talks with Pedro Almodovar about his noir movie Broken Embraces, which stars the best supporting actress Oscar winner Penelope Cruz.

Terminator Salvation, which stars Bale, is set to close the festival.

I added a total of 94 regular quality pictures to almost all of 2009′s event albums.

Also I would like to remind everyone that tomorrow the 34th César Ceremony is taking place in Paris. As last year’s winner of the Best Actress césar it is very likely that Marion will be attending and/or presenting. Canal+ is airing the show as of 8.50pm MET. And apparently as of 9pm MET we will all be able to watch it live on CanalPlus.Fr..

I am not sure whether I will be able to record anything as my computer is acting weird lately whenever I’m dealing with media files. Could anyone watch out for Marion on the red carpet and during the ceremony and provide clips for this site? Thank you very much.

[edit Feb 27:] I couldn’t get that direct link to play but from what I’ve been able to gather on the live blog Marion Cotillard was absent from tonight’s Césars Ceremony despite having reportedly returned to France earlier this week (thanks Gemma for the link). I’m sure she’s taking a well deserved break before filming for her first leading role since La Vie en Rose starts in little over a week from now: Aviator Chubbie Miller searching for her fiancé in the much awaited Sahara-set adventure-romantic drama “Le Dernier vol de Lancaster” by Karim Dridi opposite Guillaume Canet. Filming starts March 9 and will mostly take place in the Moroccan desert.

TV alert from Marion Cotillard Web: One of Marion’s first roles airs on French TV tonight:

Watch Théo la Tendresse tonight on Direct8, part of TNT, at 8.40 pm.
