Belle du Seigneur

GYADDAMIT! Here's another case of beautiful people being beautiful. Two of my favorite people are coming together for an awesome film. Supermodel Natalia Vodianova teams up with Jonathan Rhys Meyers also known as the man with the eyes that rape The Tudors' King Henry for her debut leading role (let's just all forget that she was part in the epic disaster that is Clash of the Titans. As the she-monster Medusa, they didn't really utilize her gorgeous face properly. But then again, that movie didn't utilize the whole freakin Greek mythology properly either). The film is an adaptation of Albert Cohen's best-selling novel about the love affair between a WWII Jewish high-ranking official and a married Swiss woman.

It pretty much sounds like every other period love story that existed. There's drama, war, forbidden love, infuriatingly good looking people, picturesque locations, and even though these early photos are making it seem like they are posing for Horse Connection magazine or a highly stylized Ralph Lauren ad campaign (oh the breeches!), I'm sure, there will be a lot of pretty costumes too.

Belle du Seigneur will be released on 2012.
