Exclusive: With her FX series The Bridge wrapping its second season tonight, Diane Kruger has set two indie features to fill her winter schedule. German-born Kruger (Wicker Park, Inglourious Basterds, The Host) will first head to the south of France to film Maryland for director Alice Winocour, the helmer who made her debut two years ago with the Cannes entry Augustine. The film tracks an ex-soldier with Ptsd who is hired to protect the wife and child of a wealthy Lebanese businessman while he’s out of town. Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts (Bullhead, Rust and Bone) will play the soldier. Dharamsala and Darius Films are producing.
Kruger will then head to the American southwest set of Sky to re-team with director Fabienne Berthaud after their 2006 film Frankie and 2010’s Lily Sometimes. The film tracks a woman’s reawakening through her solitary journey into foreign lands and will mark Kruger and...

In recent years there have been a number of highly original and intelligent depictions of modern warfare – The Hurt Locker (2009) and Green Zone (2010) to name but two. These films help give us a greater sense of what it’s actually like to experience the day-to-day life of conflict, which is never simply shoot-out after shoot-out. They also help remind us how narrow the view on our TV screens can be. Special Forces, I’m afraid to say, does not fall under this category. Far from it.
“One team. One mission. One chance.” – So reads the poster for the film. The mission for this particular Special Forces unit is to rescue a French journalist (Diane Kruger) who has been taken hostage by the Taliban in Afghanistan. For the adept team, finding her is not too much of a problem. It is when they miss their pickup, however, that it becomes a...

(Diane Kruger in Inglourious Basterds, above.)
Diane Kruger
The Blockbuster Beauty Goes IndieBy Terry Keefe
[This article originally appeared in 2006 in Venice Magazine. I had lunch with Diane Kruger at the Chateau Marmont, and I remember most distinctly two things: 1. I've never been around anyone in Hollywood who so many guys were trying to get the attention of. Several Hollywood agent types waved to her as they were entering and leaving with greetings like "Hi, beautiful." 2. She was also very polite, much more so than your typical American hot starlet, walking me out afterwards to the valet stand and generally displaying no star attitude whatsoever. She's had a great year with Inglorious Basterds. Nice to see.)
Heads turn when she walks into the restaurant, even in blase L.A. It's a bit redundant to say that she's beautiful, yet the reality is that beautiful might be understating the case. This is a woman who, after all, first came to prominence two years ago when Wolfgang Petersen cast her as Helen of Troy, whose legendary looks were so stunning that nations went to war over her. But once you're past the surface charms of Diane Kruger, what really becomes evident is how seriously she's taking the development of her craft as an actress. After Troy and National Treasure, the easy money would have had her choosing to do another string of Hollywood blockbusters. Not that she's sworn off big budget films by any means, but she's also taken an interesting journey into...

- Internationally renowned regular art-house actresses Diane Kruger (upcoming Inglourious Basterds) and Ludivine Sagnier (A Girl Cut in Two) are being paired together to portray sisters with very different life expectations and experiences in Pieds Nus sur les Limaces (“Bare Feet on Slugs”). Fabienne Berthaud's sophomore feature begins lensing on August 17 until end of September. According to Cineuropa, Brigitte Catillon and Jean-Pierre Martins also fill out the cast and the pic will be produced by Le Bureau's Bertrand Faivre. We recently witnessed how Euro fair that specifically address this family dynamic could be all encompassing and yet simple, strength of sister-dramas with I've Love You So Long, but this reminds me of one of the characters that as featured in Duane Hopkins' Better Things – where the notion of protecting one's self from the outside world is explored. Co-written by Berthaud and Pascal Arnold, this is based on Berthaud’s eponymous novel,
