There will be not ONE, but three CoCo Chanel biopic film projects happening. Talk about perfect timing! As reported by Variety, Audrey Tautou “will star as Coco Chanel in a $15 million biopic about the legendary French fashion designer”. The film “will focus on Chanel’s childhood and early womanhood, was specially conceived with Tautou in mind”. Interesting. Audrey Tautou is a wonderful actress, I’ve seen all of her films and I can’t wait to see her play CoCo.
Do you notice a resemblance between the two?
Here’s a first look of another Chanel made-for-TV film. Shirley MacLaine is “playing Chanel in a two-part biopic about her life due to air later this year on US TV. Slovakian actress Barbora Bobulova plays Chanel before the Second World War with Maclaine picking up the part from 1954″.
Yesterday, Fabsugar reported that “The Secret Story of Chanel and Stravinsky (Chanel et Stravinsky, l’Histoire Secrete) will star Chanel muse Anna Mouglalis (pictured) as Coco. The film is set between 1913 to 1925 and portrays her relationship with Igor Stravinsky. Coco’s love affair with the Russian composer has previously been documented in a book titled ‘Coco and Ivor’ by Chris Greenhalgh.”
Can we get enough of CoCo documentaries and films? I think NOT. And, who plays a better CoCo - that, we’ll have to find out soon enough.
