STARRING LEA SEYDOUX AND GEORGE MACKAY IN THE LEAD ROLES
Straight from France comes the first trailer for a mix of fantasy and a period set movie THE BEAST which should be released February 28thnext year after winning a number of festival awards. The film was originally supposed to star Gaspard Ulliel who sadly passed away.
THE MOVIE IS SET
in
the near future where emotions have become a threat. Lea Seydoux plays
Gabrielle who finally decides to purify her DNA in a machine that will
immerse her in her previous lives and rid her of any strong feelings.
She then meets Louis, played by George Mackay, and feels a powerful
connection, as if she has known him forever. A melodrama crossed by the
genre, which unfolds over three distinct periods, 1910, 2014 and 2044.
A bunch of new movie images for you today, starting with Gabriel Byrne as Samuel Beckett in DANCE FIRST biopic on the Waiting for Godot writer. With him as the famous Irish playwright, Aidan Gillen plays James Joyce. Maxine Peake also stars and Sandrine Bonnaire too as his wife. The story covers various phases in Beckett’s life from Parisian bon vivant, to World War II Resistance fighter, Nobel Prize-winning playwright, philandering husband and recluse.
Its focus, however, is on Beckett’s reaction to winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969, which was a turning point in his life as he grappled with his own inner demons.
DYSTOPIAN THE BEAST
We
also have first photos from Venice Film Festival dystopian romance THE
BEAST from Bertrand Bonello set in a near future where artificial
intelligence reigns supreme and human emotions have become a threat.
Gabrielle (Lea Seydoux), a woman haunted by an irrational fear, is being
told that she must purify her DNA to heal from past traumas in order to
get a proper job. Through the process, Gabrielle revisits past lives
and immerses herself in buried memories from 1910 and 2014, where she
reunites with Louis (George MacKay), her great love. While their bond
has transcended lifetimes and eras, it’s also at the root of her
premonition that something tragic will happen. Beside Venice, the movie
will also hit Toronto, New York and London film festivals.

Jones, sees Ewan (who is also working on the adaptation of Stephen KIng's Doctor Sleep) and Lea leading this science fiction movie as two

LEA SEYDOUX TO JOIN
JOEL KINNAMAN IN 'HORSEBOY'
Lea will play the mother of the autistic child
Speaking of Lea Seydoux, the French actress will also join Joel Kinnaman in HORSEBOY drama, in which they will play
Emily and Jonathan whose son Noah, is an autistic child. He rarely talks and isn't improving despite his parents' efforts to connect with him. Yet, there is a silver lining: Jonathan notices that Noah is more peaceful and seems more able to communicate while riding horses. It sparks a crazy idea: he will take his family for a ride through the Mongolian plains to meet shamans. The journey will be transformative. It is the powerful story of two parents' love for their child as they decide to take the biggest risk imaginable. A life-changing experience not only to rescue their son, but also to rescue their family.
As 'Deadline' reports today, while she's waiting to see if GHOSTBUSTERS will flop or fly, Melissa McCarthy has another new project just signed: she will lead CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME? based on Lee Israel memoir.
Israel was a magazine writer and author in the 1970s and ’80s who
specialized in profiles of big name entertainment figures. But when the
work dried up, she turned to selling letters she had forged from dead
writers and actors, and eventually she began stealing actual letters
from various archives before she was arrested in 1993. She is no longer
alive.
It seems that Lea Seydoux and Vincent Cassel will star together again after BEAUTY AND THE BEAST since they've been just cast in last year's Cannes winnerXavier Dolan's new movie IT'S ONLY THE END OF THE WORLD! Rounding up the stellar cast are Marion Cotillard and Gaspard Ulliel. As 'Deadline' reports, the movie follows a writer who, after 12 years of absence, goes back to his hometown, planning on announcing his upcoming death to his family. As resentment soon rewrites the course of the afternoon, fits and feuds unfold, fuelled by loneliness and doubt, while all attempts of empathy are sabotaged by people’s incapacity to listen, and love.
