After having been picked as the new face of Chanel No. 5 due to air in 2009, Audrey Tautou will now also be playing Coco Chanel herself. Talking about rubbing shoulders with the right people!In "Coco before Chanel", French filmmaker and writer Anne Fontaine wanted "to follow the interior path of this young woman who was poor, without education, but who had an uncommon personality that was ahead of her time." The film, that deals with Coco's early life before she became famous was also co-written by the film's creative consultant Christopher Hampton, and adapted from Chanel's 1974 biography "L'Irreguliere" by Edmonde Charles-Roux. Having enjoyed Edith Piaff's "La Vie en Rose" last year we certainly have high hopes about this one. It should be out later this year.
It appears that Chanel are particularly drawn to the big and small screen these days: Besides Audrey's two performances director Daniele Thompson is in the early stages of a Chanel biopic, and William Friedkin (The Exorcist) is working on a film about Chanel's relationship with composer Igor Stravinsky.
