Netflix's latest movie, Ad Vitam, includes a small ensemble of talented French actors. Directed by Rodolphe Lauga, the Netflix international movie is currently the number one non-English film on the streaming platform. Ad Vitam follows Franck, a former member of the elite French tactical police, the Gign, as he is forced to delve into his past after his pregnant wife is kidnapped. While Ad Vitam uses a similar plotline that several films in the genre employ, it sets itself apart with its action and incredible performances from its cast.

Since most of the actors in Ad Vitam are French, they might not be familiar to an American audience, but they've featured in several French movies and TV Shows. The Netflix action movie is engaging from start to finish, with an intense storyline that makes audiences root for the primary protagonist. Although there's a lot to like about Ad Vitam,...

Last year saw Netflix unleash several hugely popular, and critically acclaimed, action movies, including the gritty crime thriller Rebel Ridge, the brutal and bloody revenge epic The Shadow Strays, and the Christmas action outing Carry-On. And it looks like the streamer is all set to continue that success, with the upcoming action thriller Ad Vitam promising to be the next Taken. That’s right, the beloved Liam Neeson movie that kick-started the renowned actor’s aged action hero career.

Directed by Rodolphe Lauga, the French action thriller Ad Vitam stars Guillaume Canet as Franck, a man with a mysterious past who, after surviving a home invasion, must save his kidnapped wife while facing the deadly consequences of his painful past. The rest of the cast includes Stéphane Caillard, Nassim Lyes, Zita Hanrot, Alexis Manenti, Johan Heldenbergh, Etienne Guillou-Kervern, and Rayan Bouazza. Ad Vitam is all set to land on Netflix...

Baby actress Vaishnavi to play sister for Prabhas; here’s clarification ( Photo Credit – Instagram; Facebook )

Vaishnavi Chaitanya, who impressed audiences with her debut film Baby, is eagerly awaiting her next film, Love Me – If You Dare. The film is all set for release on May 25th. Directed by Arjun Bhimavarapu and produced by Dil Raju Productions along with Naga Mallidi, it features Dil Raju’s nephew Ashish Reddy.

Meanwhile, rumors state that Vaishnavi might be cast in Sandeep Reddy Vanga‘s upcoming movie Spirit, which will star Prabhas. This news excited fans eager to see her work with the famous Baahubali star. However, Vaishnavi clarified that she was not offered a role in ‘Spirit.’ She humorously suggested the media could inform her if such an opportunity arises. This statement showed her interest in acting with Prabahs and, at the same time, made it clear that no official offer had been made.

Smoking Causes Coughing is ostensibly a riff on Power Rangers/Super Sentai, Ultraman, and other tokusatsu-style media in which spandex-clad superheroes battle intergalactic monsters, but — as is the case with writer-director Quentin Dupieux’s entire filmography — his latest genre-bending slice of French absurdity is predictably unpredictable.

The Tobacco Force is a team of avengers in which each of its five members represents a different chemical found in cigarettes: Benzene, Nicotine (Anaïs Demoustier), Methanol (Vincent Lacoste), Mercury (Jean-Pascal Zadi), and Ammonia (Oulaya Amamra). When they’re unable to defeat an enemy in hand-to-hand combat, they call upon their powers — which only work when they’re sincere — to infect their foe with cancer to the point of bodily combustion.

The Tobacco Force has a mentor in Chief Didier. He’s a wise, mutant rat, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles‘ Splinter, except Didier is a womanizer that drools green goo. The team is...

The new “Charlie’s Angels” reboot was no match for a local romantic comedy or a 20-year-old Giuseppe Tornatore film at the Chinese box office, bringing in just $7.6 million in its debut weekend, according to figures from consultancy Artisan Gateway.

Directed by Elizabeth Banks and starring Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska, the film has had a lackluster start, with China’s day-and-date release failing to provide much of a boost to its $8.6 million three-day gross in the U.S. This installment of the franchise continues the story told in the 1970s TV show and two previous films, 2000’s “Charlie’s Angels” and 2003’s “Charlie Angels: Full Throttle,” none of which was ever popular in the mainland. According to ticketing platform Maoyan, the latter movie received some sort of China release in 2003 that netted it just $2 million.

The fault clearly didn’t lie with Chinese audiences being impervious to nostalgia. In a surprise upset,...

A woman’s 30-year longing for the man she can’t stop loving is chronicled in “Somewhere Winter,” a rewarding adaptation of the novel by prolific author and screenwriter Rao Xueman. by top Mark Lee Ping Bing (“In the Mood for Love”) and features fine performances by Ma Sichun (“Soulmate”) and Wallace Huo (“Our Time Will Come”) as lovers torn apart by fate, family responsibilities and political forces. This handsomely packaged item from producer Jimmy Huang and director David Wang Weiming (“Sex Appeal”) should receive a warm reception when it opens in China and North America on Nov. 15.

The film’s title refers to “Possibly in Winter,” a 1987 hit by Taiwanese singer Chyi Chin that inspired a teenage Rao Xueman to write to her idol. Chyi’s ballad about long-distance relationships provided the linking device for Rao’s 2018 novel about a woman’s romantic journey during times of great social and economic change in China.

It’s a girl for Marion Cotillard.

The French actress recently welcomed a daughter, her rep confirms to People exclusively.

Remake rights instead of original scripts are in high demand in the Hindi film industry and the trend is only going to go up with time. But can an industry depend entirely on borrowed ideas for its growth? The question was addressed in a panel discussion on “Remakes: Financial and creative viability”, held as part of Knowledge Series, at the ongoing Nfdc Film Bazaar in Goa.

Producer-director Rohan Sippy, Deborah Benattar of La Fabrique Films, Amar Butala of Salman Khan Ventures and entertainment lawyer Ameet Naik were part of the panel moderated by Hollywood Reporter’s India correspondent Nyay Bhushan.

A battle royale is brewing in War of the Buttons.

Based on Louis Pergaud’s best-selling 1912 novel, La Guerre des boutons, the French family adventure film War of the Buttons stars actor/filmmaker Guillaume Canet (Love Me If You Dare), Laetitia Casta (Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life), Kad Merad (Welcome to the Sticks) and newcomers Jean Texler and Ilona Bachelier.

Cotillard and Canet began dating five years ago, and previously costarred in the 2003 French romance Love Me If You Dare. The couple welcomed Marcel in May 2011.

Life During Wartime: Barratier Schmaltifies Nazi Occupied France

France has made a considerable move to reclaim her literature, as not one but two French productions of Louis Pergaud’s 1912 novel, War of the Buttons, have been released this year. This brings the total number of filmed adaptations of the celebrated novel to five, with two original French versions (in 1937 and 1962), and the better known 1994 UK version from John Roberts previously standing as the definitive English speaking film version. However, thus far, the Us will only be privy to one of the new additions, that directed by Christophe Barratier, the man whose directorial debut, 2004’s The Chorus was nominated for Best Foreign film in Americaland (the other, from Yann Samuell, whose 2003 debut, the much celebrated Love Me If You Dare top lines Guillaume Canet, used in Barratier’s ensemble here, but has yet to receive distribution in the Us market...

Guillaume Canet has attracted the attention of international audiences through performances in films like Love Me If You Dare, The Beach, and this year’s Last Night, but he’s also an accomplished filmmaker in his own right. Having helmed Tell No One and Little White Lies, his career behind the camera is a budding, promising one to take note of.

ScreenDaily (via ThePlaylist) is now reporting on his fourth feature, Blood Ties. His planned remake of 2008′s Les Liens Du Sang (which he starred in) is being co-written with James Gray, and has attracted Mark Wahlberg, Zoe Saldana, and Canet‘s wife, Marion Cotillard. This is expected to follow the plot of the original, which was “a 70s-set drama about two brothers, one a cop, the other a criminal fresh out of the joint”; the location is being switched from Lyons to Philadelphia.

Back in 2009, she said in an interview about the idea of marriage, "You can't work all your life. I was thinking, of course, about my life, which is a lucky, lucky, lucky life. I have the choice to take a big break and I have to do that. I...

The stars will be centre stage at the Cannes film festival, even if parenthood keeps them from taking place of honour on the red carpet

A film festival requires its talented "golden couple" almost as much as its long red carpet – and at Cannes the prospect of a pair of glamorous homegrown lovers is especially tantalising. So whether the sun shines on the Côte d'Azur or not, hopes are high for an appearance from the Oscar-winning Marion Cotillard and her partner, the acclaimed writer, director and actor Guillaume Canet.

Cotillard has been invited as one of the stars of the film that will open the festival, Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. Taking the role of the "muse" in Allen's celebration of the city and its myths, she will feature alongside France's first lady, Carla Bruni, and the Hollywood A-listers Owen Wilson and Rachel McAdams.

Keira Knightley and Guillaume Canet in Last Night

Photo: Tribeca Films I saw Massy Tadjedin's Last Night starring Keira Knightley, Eva Mendes, Sam Worthington and Guillaume Canet at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and really liked it. I am going to be watching it again soon as it is set to make its way to Video on Demand on April 20th followed by a theatrical release on May 6 and today I have a few new goodies from the film for you.

Last Night, to quote my review, "is a stunning tale of fidelity and marital trust." I nearly compared it to Closer in my review in the way it's primarily a dialogue driven feature that's able to turn a relationship drama into a sort of relationship thriller, but I felt the comparison would get muddled amongst the rest of my words.

It's not a perfect film, as...

Tribeca Film released a new poster and trailer for the upcoming romantic drama “Last Night” at iTunes. The film stars Keira Knightley (“Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” “Pride & Prejudice”), Sam Worthington (“Avatar,” “Terminator Salvation”), Eva Mendes (“Hitch,” “We Own the Night”) and Guillaume Canet (“Love Me If You Dare,” “The Beach”). It is directed by Massy Tadjedin (“The Jacket,” “Leo”). Here is the film’s official synopsis: “Set in New York City, Last Night is the story of a married couple that while apart for one night, is confronted by temptation that may decide the fate of their marriage. Joanna (Keira Knightley) and Michael Reed (Sam Worthington) are 7 years into a successful and happy relationship. They are moving along in their lives together until Joanna meets Laura (Eva Mendes), the stunningly beautiful work colleague whom Michael never mentioned. While Michael is away with Laura on a business trip,...

Since her Oscar-winning turn in 2007′s La Vie en Rose, American audiences have been smitten with French ingénue Marion Cotillard. And now we’ve got the subtitled trailer for her follow-up to Inception, the French dramedy Little White Lies.

The film, which features an ensemble cast, was written and directed by Guillaume Canet, who created the 2006 mystery Tell No One, and co-starred with Cotillard in the gorgeous and daring romance Love Me If You Dare in 2003. One of the highest-grossing movies in its native land last year, it’s set to open in the U.K. on April 15, and in Germany on July 28. However, no U.S. distribution has yet been secured, so no news on when American audience will get a chance to see Little White Lies in full

For now, you can check out the trailer, courtesy of Trailer Addict:

[1] One smaller film I've been looking forward to is Massy Tadjedin's Last Night, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall. The movie centers around married couple Keira Knightley and Sam Worthington, who each find themselves tempted to stray on one fateful night. Worthington's character goes on a business trip with sexy coworker Eva Mendes, while Knightley runs into old flame Guillame Canet (star of Love Me if you Dare, director of Tell No One, baby daddy of Marion Cotillard). If the last trailer [2] seemed to emphasize Worthington's infidelity, this one focuses more on Knightley's. And it's just as good, if not better. Watch the new trailer after the jump. [via The Playlist [3]] Judging by this trailer, Last Night looks like a promising start for first-time director Tadjedin. As someone who's a total sucker for quiet interpersonal dramas, I think this one has real potential. I especially love that there...

Marion Cotillard is due to be mom this Spring. The French actress is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend of three years, actor/director Guillaume Canet, whom she met while on the set of 2003 French film "Love Me If You Dare" and started dating in 2007.
