Canal+ asked different people about their experiences at the Cannes Film Festival. Marion’s interview was put online yesterday. And today, TF1 News aired an interview with Marion about ‘De rouille et d’os‘ (Rust & Bone) and her co-star Matthias Schoenaerts.
2 more clips from ‘De Rouille et d’os‘ (Rust & Bone) have recently been released. I added them to our video archive. So far I haven’t been able to find Clip 4 with English subtitles yet but I found the trailer with English subtitles. Enjoy!
Yesterday, Le Figaro mentioned in their Cannes article that Marion Cotillard will be filming the new movie by Iranian director Asghar Farhadi in Paris in the fall. What do we know about it?
Farhadi is currently working on a screenplay with acclaimed writer Yazmina Reza, who penned the play God of Carnage, that he hopes to shoot in France soon; he has approached Tahar Rahim (A Prophet) and Marion Cotillard for leads.
Various casting sites posted an ad on Saturday looking for 2 girls (10 and 14 years old) to play the daughters of Marion’s character.
The acclaimed Iranian director Asghar Farhadi will shoot a French-language film in Paris next fall. The news was announced by Memento Films’ Alexandre Mallet-Guy, who told the press that further details about the film will be released at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
Mallet-Guy did say, however, that the film is not the previously announced love story between an Iranian girl and a North African boy set in Paris.
And finally, director Asghar Farhadi will be awarded first EU MEDIA prize on Sunday, May 20, during the Cannes Film Festival for this mystery project. Hopefully, this is when we’ll get more information.
“I am proud to give this award to Mr Farhadi today for this film project which has a strong cultural identity and illustrates the openness of European culture, which I defend daily.After the worldwide success of his masterpiece “A Separation”, he gives us a project which is committed and moving in equal measure and above all draws on universality” said Ms Vassiliou.
Asghar Farhadi said, “In these times when certain politicians are trying to turn the beautiful rainbow of cultural diversity in the world into differences and confrontations, I believe that this MEDIA award for my next film project is a very encouraging sign. I would therefore like to warmly thank the MEDIA programme, and commend it for its lucid and open vision of mutual and respectful exchanges between cultures.”
A brief interview to promote the upcoming Cannes premiere and French cinema release of ‘De rouille et d’os‘ (Rust & Bone) recorded on Saturday aired yesterday morning on France 2‘s Télématin.
Last Saturday, Marion Cotillard was the guest & co-editor of Marie Drucker’s radio show Le Journal Inattendu and on Sunday she was interviewed about ‘De Rouille et d’os‘ (Rust & Bone) together with Matthias Schoenaerts during the evening news on French TV channel France 2. They showed the adorable clip of 6 year old Marion in ‘La monde des tout petits‘ which already ‘Les enfants de la télé’ showed to Marion back in September 2010. And Will Smith, who was a guest on the news show the day before, had a message for Marion, suggesting they should do a movie together (she replied that she’d love to make a comedy with him).

2 clips from ‘De Rouille et d’os‘ (Rust & Bone) were released earlier today. Watch them in our video archive (with English subtitles) or check out our HD screencaptures. I can’t wait to see this movie!
Over the past few weeks I’ve added quite a number of scans, outtakes and articles from 2012 publications. Expect many more in the coming weeks as ‘De rouille et d’os‘ premieres at Cannes and ‘The Dark Knight Rises‘ opens in theatres in July.
A new trailer for ‘The Dark Knight Rises‘ was released earlier this week. It features an even briefer look at Marion Cotillard as mysterious Miranda Tate than the last trailer.
According to the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona (OBC)‘s 2012/2013 Season Programme Marion Cotillard will finally reprise her role as Joan of Arc in Arthur Honegger’s oratorio Jeanne au bûcher (Joana a la foguera) on November 17 and 18 under the directon of Marc Soustrot. She will be accompanied by the choirs Liedercamera, Madrigal and Vivaldi. The concert will be transmitted live on Medici TV on November 17, 2012. The concerts are held in honour of the 600th anniversary of Joan of Arc’s birth.
