David Thion, the French producer of Justine Triet’s best picture contender “Anatomy of a Fall,” is preparing a raft of projects helmed by daring female directors including Charline Bourgeois-Tacquet (“Anais in Love”) and Emily Atef (“More Than Ever”).
Speaking to Variety ahead of the Oscars, Thion said he and Marie-Ange Luciani, who also produced “Anatomy of a Fall,” have also signed Triet for her next movie, the topic of which hasn’t been decided yet.
“Justine has devoted herself fully to the awards campaign for ‘Anatomy of a Fall’ and she hasn’t had time to decide what her next film will be, but she has a few ideas,” Thion said. He added that Triet’s next film will likely be “mainly shot in French, but could have an Anglo-Saxon actress as the lead.”

Ewan McGregor has signed on to star and Kate Hudson is in negotiations to join Peter Capaldi’s mistaken-identity rom-com "Born to Be King" at Indomina Releasing says THR.
The story revolves around a film extra (McGregor) who has an uncanny resemblance to a movie star and a Hollywood starlet (Hudson) who’s at war with her co-star and begins to fall for the extra.
Capaldi, best known for playing the foul-mouthed Malcolm Tucker in the BBC sitcom "The Thick of It", also wrote the screenplay. Alexandra Stone and Dan Lupovitz will produce and shooting kicks off in January at Pinewood Studios in the UK.

A small blurb on Deadline about an joining CAA pretty much confirms that the helmer behind personal favorites Katalin Varga (2009) and this year’s Edinburgh/Locarno/Tiff preemed Berberian Sound Studio is moving into the sought after talent sphere. Filmmaker Peter Strickland might now make The Beginning of Spring film project number three.
Gist: Based on Penelope Fitzgerald’s 1988 novel, The Beginning Of Spring centers on Frank Reid, a struggling printer in Moscow.

Screen Daily reports that Dominic Cooper, Julie Christie and Imogen Poots are currently attached to Hello Darkness -- which has Bobby Allen and Alexandra Stone producing, with Steve Golin, one of my favorites Todd Haynes and Adam Shulman acting as executive producers. - For every Cary Fukunaga and Marc Webb, there are about a dozen examples of filmmakers who've made it big with their first film at Sundance only to find themselves sludging through the same growing pains in the second time out.
