Matthias Schoenaerts, Makita Samba and Marton Csokas have been cast in Ellie Foumbi‘s spicy sophomore feature which gathered plenty of steam when Halle Berry joined the project last August. The trades announce that production on Fleur began this week. The list of producers on the project appears to have grown we have: Killer Films’ Christine Vachon, HalleHolly’s Halle Berry and Holly Jeter, Plot Twist Pictures Gabriel Mayers. We imagine that Foumbi might attempt to make a return to the lido (where she premiered Our Father, the Devil as a work in progress) but that is likely too tight.
This tells the story of a New York housewife (Berry) who flees America and her husband of 30 years (Csokas) to reinvent herself in Paris as Fleur, an upscale escort and dominatrix carving out her own power and identity. But as her past collides with her new life, the question isn’t just whether she’ll return…but whether she can.
