Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
Jean-Pierre Jeunet is one of my favorite working filmmakers. DELICATESSEN is a delight, and CITY OF LOST CHILDREN is one of my favorite fantasy films of all time, in any language. AMELIE was, of course, an utter joy last year, a fairy tale for adults that was impeccably imagined, visually ravishing.
I don’t care what his next property is. All that matters is that he’s chosen something, and he’s getting ready to work again. Whatever it is, I’ll see it as soon as humanly possible, and I can’t freakin’ WAIT!
HERE’S THE STORY THAT I ORIGINALLY READ!!
PARIS (Variety) - "Amelie" writer/director Jean-Pierre Jeunet has signed a production deal with the French arm of Warner Bros. for his next film, an adaptation of bestseller "A Very Long Engagement."
Jeunet is writing the screenplay for the French-language picture, which will be shot next year in France, Warner Bros. France chief Francis Boespflug said Tuesday.
"Engagement," written by Sebastian Japrisot, is a love story set during World War I. Winner of the Grand Prix Interallie literary prize in 1991, it went on to be a worldwide bestseller.
Okay. Guess I’m taking a trip to the bookstore immediately, just so I can get a look at the underlying material.
"Moriarty" out.
