Exclusive: Israeli romcom drama series The Baker and the Beauty is being remade for France’s TF1, with French singer-songwriter Amir Haddad playing the lead in his debut TV role.
Shooting starts this week in Paris on the show, which was remade by ABC in the U.S. several years ago, marking Israeli major Keshet’s first scripted format adaptation in France.
Based on the acclaimed Israeli series from Assi Azar, La Belle et Le Boulanger follows Benjamin Mercier (Haddad) and Louise Meyer (Ludmilla von Claer – L’Apéro), who are opposites. While Louise travels around the world modelling for the biggest name designers and parties into the night, Benjamin is up early preparing baguettes at his family-run bakery. They meet accidentally in a restaurant men’s room, and Benjamin’s life is turned upside down.

Exclusive: Gaumont unveils first pre-sales as film goes into production
Gaumont has officially kicked off sales on new comedy A Man In A Hurry, starring Fabrice Luchini as a successful and eloquently persuasive businessman who is struck down by a stroke, opposite Leila Bekhti as a speech therapist.
Deals tied up in the first two days of the market include to Switzerland (Jmh), Cinéart (Benelux), Canada (Az Films), Israel (Shoval) and Poland (Kinowiat). The production, which begins shooting this month, reunites Bekhti with filmmaker Hervé Mimran, who previously directed the actress in the 2012 film New York about a friends reunion in the Us.

Once a great orator, he is no longer...

Bonjour Paris! February is quite interesting month when it comes to awards, and The Cesar Award is no exception.
So, let’s move to France for the national film award of France, first given out in 1975, with nominations that are selected by the members of the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinéma.
As we already guessed, Xavier Beauvois’ Des hommes et des dieux, or if you prefer Of Gods and Men – movie that we previously talked about – took the top prize at France’s Cesar Awards.
And you all thought that Roman Polanski‘s The Ghost Writer will win? Ok, you were close, because the movie ended up taking home the most awards, including best adapted screenplay, best editing, best original score, and best director for Polanski himself, who was in attendance.
Looks that France loves Facebook, too, so David Fincher has a reason to be satisfied. He will...
