'Coco Avant Chanel'

So I was reading months and months ago about the Coco Chanel movie staring Audrey Tautou as the famous influential designer (her suits never go out of style).
Now it seems that Warners have sweeped in, in a vintage classic gown, to finance and co-produce the film.

The film will be looking at Coco's early life (what a great name), hence the title (translation for those of you who slept in French class 'Coco Avant Chanel' translates as 'Coco Before Chanel')

Did you know that sunbathing was never popular in Europe until Coco came back from holiday with a golden tan? Fashion and skin cancer....her legacy it so vast!

Well apparently the film will begin filming in just two weeks and be released next year. I hope to Madonna that Warner does not insist the film be filmed in English just to widen the audience. It could happen, but then again foreign films are not suffering as much at the box office as they used to. A foreign language film reaching £10 million is more common place than it was 10 years ago.

So far, in the production pics that have been leaked, Tautou looks a fierce tranny hot mess.
