According to Variety, Marion Cotillard and her real-life boyfriend, actor Guillaume Canet, will star in a new French film -- Le Dernier vol de Lancaster (The Last Flight). It will be Cotillard and Canet's first film together since 2003's Jeux d'enfants (Love Me If You Dare).
The film, directed by Karim Dridi, will be shot in Morocco in January 2009 after Cotillard wraps on Rob Marshall's Nine. The Last Flight will be introduced to buyers at the Cannes Film Festival this year. The screenplay is adapted from the novel of the same name by Remy Waterhouse.
A tempestuous tale of conflict -- between colonial forces and local insurgents, old and new loves, and men who face off for the love of Cotillard -- "Flight" is set in 1933.Cotillard plays a dashing and thoroughly modern femme aviator who lands in the Sahara, looking for her lover, an English long-distance record-breaking aviator who's crashed in the desert.
Meanwhile, the local French Foreign legion fort faces a local rebellion.
I, for one, am very excited about this. I've never read the novel, but the story sounds interesting and I'm eager to see Cotillard in another French-language film.

I'd watch those two read the phone book.
Me too, honestly.
