Marion Cotillard

[LolaSvelt]

Cotillard is officially in talks to star in The Dark Knight Rises. Quite the Inception reunion if she works out the scheduling.

Her rep tells THR that "nothing has been confirmed yet," but the move would reunite her with "Inception" director Christopher Nolan.

Marion Cotillard may join the cast of The Dark Knight Rises.

A rep for the actress in Paris said that her involvement in the film is currently "in discussions, but nothing has been confirmed yet." WB France has yet to comment.

The actress, who is pregnant and due in the spring, is discussing scheduling issues.

The plan is for Cotillard to start shooting mid-June in London, film all summer in L.A. and Pittsburgh and wrap mid-November in New York.

The French actress' name has arisen before in connection with the Warner Bros. movie, which will be directed by her Inception helmer Christopher Nolan.

Nolan had been focusing on finding the romantic lead for Christian Bale in recent weeks, reading and meeting with several actresses, including Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz and Naomi Watts, according to insiders.

While Anne Hathaway is cast as Catwoman, the other female role is suspected to be that of Thalia Al Ghul, the daughter of the villain played by Liam Neeson in Nolan's first movie, Batman Begins.

French newspaper Le Figaro reported the deal was official, and Cotillard would join the production this summer.

That's quite a lot of shooting for someone who is about to become a mother. I wonder if she'll accept.

yeah, i thought it was all rubbish but seems there's quite a serious negotiating happening . weird considering she dropped out of cronenberg's movie which only starts shooting like a month before nolan does.

Sources also tell PEOPLE that the La Vie en Rose Oscar winner, who is expecting a baby in April with her French actor-director beau Guillaume Canet, signed onto the Batman project Saturday in Paris.

According to sources, Cotillard will start shooting at London's Elstree Studios in mid-June, then move on to locations in Pittsburgh and Los Angeles this summer. Filming is expected to wrap in New York in November, with the picture's release set for July 2012.

Cotillard's next picture is Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris, which opens this year's Cannes Film Festival May 11 – with Cotillard expected on the red carpet.

I know it's not official until the studio confirms it, but I thought the reference to her due date being APRIL and not May as previously reported was interesting!
As is the mention of Cannes' Midnight in Paris premiere.
The difference between the due dates will mean alot regarding whether or not we'll see her at Cannes. I have my fingers crossed for April! She'll be able to take her bub with her and still attend the gala opening

Seeing as news is scarce at the moment I thought i'd post this.
Marion is featured in the April issue of Empire.
This is definitely an outtake from her Madame Figaro shoot with Bruno Dayan.
(One of my faves!)

Is Marion still an official face of Dior? I didn't really expect to hear her speak about the tragedy, but you wonder...a lot of the Dior crew were very fond of him I have heard...

RUSSIAN DRESSING: Christian Dior is in a Russian state of mind. Gearing up for a major exhibition at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow next month, and the reopening of its luxed-up Stoleshnikov boutique, the storied French fashion house also made the picturesque capital the latest setting for its Lady Dior advertising saga. For a new worldwide print campaign breaking in Vanity Fair’s May issue, the Lady Dior ambassador is depicted reclining on a credenza in a gilded room, the colorful spires of St. Basil’s Cathedral blurred through the window behind her. Photographer Craig McDean took the shot of Marion Cotillard a few months ago on a set in Paris, as the Oscar-winning actress, who is expecting her first child, was unable to travel to Red Square. Marie-Amélie Sauvé styled the shoot, with Sam McKnight doing the hair and Christophe Danchaud the makeup. Other episodes of the Lady Dior story have played out in Paris, New York, Shanghai and London. The Russian image, with the iconic bag in red tweed as its centerpiece, will roll out in a wide range of May and June fashion magazines, including Town & Country, Elle, W and Vogue in the U.S.

This might be my new favorite Dior ad of hers! Flawless.

 

[fantastical]

OMG I'm kind of dying inside! I thought she was done with Lady Dior after Lady Grey.
honestly, they could make a bag and short film for every color of the rainbow with Marion and I'd be happy!

 

[birdyandme]

^ Me too! I wonder how many more they will do?
This is absolutely gorgeous! They just keep getting better and better.
