3rd Time a Charm for Haneke and Huppert

Date:

Michael Haneke is returning to the “aging” project he had begun scripting before The White Ribbon. French sources say that he’ll be re-teaming with Isabelle Huppert and has set Jean-Louis Trintignant in the lead role of a man dealing with the notion of a deteriorating, aging body but a youthful mind. The untitled project is said to contain a strong musical element and will be produced by Haneke’s long-time producer Veit Heiduschka. Filming is set for next year.

Trintignant is best known for Z (1969), My Night at Maud’s (1969), The Conformist (1970) and one of his last great bits in what would appear to be a defunct career in film with Three Colors: Red (1994). (Thanks to Fin De Cinema for the major casting update).
