Not So Silent: Guillaume Nicloux Setting Up Sarah Bernhardt Biopic “La divine”

Date:

October 9, 2023

There is no slowing down French filmmaker Guillaume Nicloux. With the comedy Dans la peau de Blanche Houellebecq now in post, Nicloux is now eying a biopic on Sarah Bernhardt – a project that has been simmering for some time now. Actress Sandrine Kiberlain has been attached to the project for some time now so we’ll likely see her in the driver’s seat. Titled La divine (based on Michel Peyramaure’s retelling on her life), production would take place in January and February of 2024 in and around Paris. We’ll be keeping an eye out on casting announcements and the producing team backing the project.
