Marion Cotillard and Lea Seydoux

Justela fin du monde: On Thursday morning, Cannes chief Thierry Frémaux revealed that the festival would feature the world premiere of Dolan new drama, Justela fin du monde , a Canada-France co-production that features a powerhouse international cast – including Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard and Spectre star Lea Seydoux – that just might propel Dolan into the awards race come this fall, according to Globe and Mail. With Marion I got lucky because I met her at a party in France, and told her I loved her and what she does, presuming that she wouldn’t know who I was, Dolan says over the phone from London, where he currently scouting locations for his next film. But this year, Dolan will be making his biggest splash at Cannes yet. And to my surprise she told me she loved my work, too, so I was very humbled and touched. That play was French author Jean-Luc Lagarce Justela fin du monde, which actress Anne Dorval introduced to him years ago and tells the story of a writer tense return to his hometown to announce his pending death. On the way back home, I already knew that I had a film for her in mind, a play I’d known about for a long, long time, but hadn’t connected with yet. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
