If you’re director Rebecca Zlotowski, you’re probably having the very best week in Hollywood as these deathless words are being written. The reason? Let’s put this exceptional week of good tidings and cheer firmly at the doorstep of Oscar-winning actress Jodie Foster who has signed along the dotted line to star in Zlotowski’s latest feature film Vie Privée, according to our cultured and well-heeled uptown rivals at Variety.
Academy Award-winning thespian Jodie Foster (Taxi Driver, The Accused, Little Man Tate) will star in director Rebecca Zlotowski’s (Other People’s Children) upcoming feature film Vie Privée. And yep, if you’re living in North America, that very title is no misprint; Vie Privée is a French film through and through, subtitles and all. Break out those bifocals and pray those big screen subtitles are in a yellow font, ‘cause this looks like one movie everyone will want to check out!
Vie Privée is currently rolling cameras in France and was scripted by both Zlotowski and author Anne Berest of The Postcard fame. Joining in on the writing fun is Zlotowski’s Grand Central writing muchacho (muchacha?) Gaëlle Macé. Not to be left out in the cold, industry stalwart Frederic Jouve of Velvet Films will handle the production-side of business.
As far as any concerns over whether or not Ms. Foster can pull off the notoriously difficult French language, fear not True Believers: The Sommersby star has been fluent in the language of love since the age of fifteen when she worked on a tiny French flick entitled Moi, fleur bleue. Since then, she’s also turned heads with an impressive French-language turn in the 2004 well-regarded historical epic/trifle A Very Long Engagement.
As for what Vie Privée is meant to be about, we’re afraid that those details are being kept under tight lock and key, as is the role in which the former Mayberry R.F.D. star will be tackling. Knowing just how talented and notoriously picky Foster is about which project she commits her time to (which makes her 2013 turn in snooze-fest Elysium an even greater mystery), moviegoers can rest assured that both story and character should be very much in proper place.
Keep those tired old eyes and oversized ears tuned into Vents for any and all information on Jodie Foster’s upcoming return to the silver screen Vie Privée. Until then – -Vive la France!
