Xavier Giannoli, the commercials and film director behind the 2009 Cannes Main Comp selected In the Beginning has re-teamed with Quand j’étais chanteur (2006) acting pair of Cécile de France and Mathieu Amalric for his latest project, a film that actually began filming last month – we just now we got wind of it. Talk Show should be readied for a Fall release.
Gist: Written by Giannoli, this is the story of a mistake made in the media and what is at stake for humanity. It effects the destiny of a man who should have never become famous, a woman who pretends to be in love with him and a cynic who has everything to gain. We imagine De France is the gold digger.
Worth Noting Giannoli isn’t well known on this side of the Atlantic since his films have only found distribution in French Canada.
Do We Care: If Giannoli is aiming for next year’s Cannes he’ll have plenty of time to complete the picture. The release will depend on Wild Bunch’s plans for the film.
