French-Martinican rapper/actor Didier Morville (aka Joeystarr) stars in this romantic comedy titled Max, which follows the story of a young girl who sets her single father up with a prostitute, as, as you' expect, things get a bit complicated. The film co-stars Mathilde Seigner, Jean Pierre Marielle and Shana Castera, and is set for release in France on January 23, 2013.

It seems as if Carrie remake director, Kimberly Peirce, is finding a niche for herself. Although her current production is…well, in production, she’s signed on to renovate the French thriller With A Friend Like Harry…(2000).
No word as of yet who will star in the rejuvenation, but the original – directed by Dominik Moll – featured Laurent Lucas (The Kate Logan Affair) and Mathilde Seigner (Time Regained) as a middle-class couple who befriend Plum (Sophie Guillemin) and Harry (Sergi López – Dirty Pretty Things). However, as their friendship reaches new levels, Harry’s fascination with the couple becomes clearer and creepier.
If it wasn’t enough that Peirce is working on a remake of Carrie (one of the most popular ‘horror’ films of all time), but the original version of Harry… was nominated for the esteemed Palme d’Or award at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. Personally, I haven’t seen any of her previous work, »

"Inglourious Basterds" and "Beginners" made her a star stateside, but it looks like French thespian Melanie Laurent is returning home for her next project. The actress has signed on to Christian Carion's new adaptation of Stefan Zweig's "Letter From An Unknown Woman," a novel that was adapted once before with acclaim by Max Ophuls.
The story follows an author who, while reading a letter written by a woman he does not remember, gets glimpses into her life story. Ophuls' film was led by Louis Jourdan and Joan Fontaine and centered on a pianist protagonist rather than an author. It's not known how faithful Carion's adaptation will be to the novel.
Carion is also currently working on "En Mai, Fais Ce Qu'il Plait" (translated to "In May, Do What You Want To Do") which will be set around the events of May 1940 during World War II when the French »
