| New “Pieds Nus Sur Les Limaces” Stills | May 1st, 2010 |
Good quality official production stills for “Pieds nus sur les limaces” have finally surfaced! There are only 3 for now but I hope more will be released around the time of the Cannes screening.
| Ludivine at Cannes! | April 24th, 2010 |
Well, sort of. Ludivine’s upcoming film “Pieds nus sur les limaces” AKA “Lily Sometimes”, co-starring Diane Kruger, has been selected to close the Director’s Fortnight, a parallel independent section at the Cannes Film Festival. The premiere will be a red carpet event, so fingers crossed that Ludivine will be able to attend and that we’ll also see her out and about on the Croisette before then!
| Ludivine Confirmed for “The Devil’s Double” | January 25th, 2010 |
The bad news: Ludivine has officially been taken off the cast list for “Potiche”, so it may still be a while before we see her work with François Ozon again. The good news: it looks like she’s confirmed for “The Devil’s Double”, which we first heard about back in November. If the film is sticking to the planned filming schedule of beginning in January, she should be in Malta right now! All I know so far is that her role is “Sarrab”.
| “Molière” DVD Screencaptures | December 19th, 2009 |
I’ve added screencaptures from an older film to the gallery, 2006′s “Molière.” Ludivine played the witty socialite Célimène. Enjoy, and stay tuned for more films!
| Ludivine: Replaced? | December 6th, 2009 |
According to ioncinema.com, Ludivine may have been replaced in François Ozon’s “Potiche” by Karin Viard. If it’s true, that is a definitely a disappointment, but other places on the web list Ludivine in the cast alongside Karin. Shooting doesn’t wrap until the end of January, however, and the film is scheduled for a November 10, 2010 release, so it may be a little while before it’s confirmed either way.
| “Crime d’amour” Video & Stills! | November 19th, 2009 |
Hi, everyone! This is a little late, but I’ve been out sick with swine flu. Thanks to Marine and Melfan for the heads-up about this! The first production stills and an on-set interview for Ludivine’s upcoming film “Crime d’amour”, formerly known as “Une femme parfaite”, are available at Allocine.fr. I’ve made screencaptures of the video and added the stills to the gallery.
You can also watch the video embedded below. Enjoy!
| New Film “The Devil’s Double” | November 12th, 2009 |
Ludivine is in talks to join an English language movie! The film is The Devil’s Double and stars English actor Dominic Cooper in the lead role as Latif Yahia, former body double of Uday Hussein. You can find more information about the production below. Hopefully talks lead to a confirmed casting!
Cooper will play Latif Yahia, “a dead ringer for Saddam Hussein’s sadistic and widely despised son Uday who was forced against his will to stand in for Uday in potentially dangerous situations.” Through his access, Yahia gained access to Hussein’s inner sanctum and witnessed terrible corruption, violence and nuttiness.
Ludivine Sagnier is also in talks to star in the project which begins shooting in January in scenic Malta.

| Upcoming Film Synopses | October 14th, 2009 |
I’ve found synopses for Ludivine’s two upcoming films on Cineuropa.org. It looks like the shooting schedules were back-to-back — a busy autumn for Ludivine! First is Pieds nus sur les limaces, where Ludivine will act alongside Diane Kruger. Shooting wrapped at the end of September.
Adapted from Berthaud’s eponymous novel, the film (co-written by the director and Pascal Arnold) centres on Clara (Kruger), who is happily married to a promising lawyer and lives in Paris. After the sudden death of their mother, Clara has to assume responsibility for her younger sister, Lily (Sagnier), whose extreme sensitivity makes her vulnerable to the outside world and prevents her from being autonomous.
The next is Une femme parfaite, which puts Ludivine alongside Oscar, Golden Globe, and César nominated actress Kristin Scott Thomas. Ludivine will be shooting until November 20th for this one.
Co-written by the director and Natalie Carter, the film centres on two women who work for the French subsidiary of a large US multinational. Isabelle (Sagnier) works under Christine (Scott Thomas) and while they appear similar and compatible, they are very different. They almost seem like lovers, but Christine manipulates Isabelle and steals her brilliant ideas, turning them to her own advantage. A ruthless battle gradually breaks out between them. Christine exploits her position of authority and becomes cruel. Publicly humiliated and almost crushed, Isabelle prepares to take revenge.
