Auf Wiedersehen, Eva and Kirsten. Guten Tag Diane.

Tres Bien pour Madamoiselle Diane Kruger, who will be the new interpretation of Queen Marie Antoinette, naive wife of King Louis XVI of France, where both met their untimely end at La Madame Guillotine. Madamoiselle Kruger replaces Eva Green, who bowed out for unspecified reasons. I have a feeling, though, that Diane Kruger would've been a much better role to portray the Austrian princess, Ms. Kruger being German herself--birth name: Diane Heidkrüger. According to sources at Dark Horizons, "this movie will be an adaptation of Chantal Thomas' novel, set inside the insular and ritualized court of Versailles during the final days of the French Revolution."

I have to say, I think it'll be a different interpretation of Sofia Coppola's work, Marie Antoinette, which merited a lot more respect than it actually earned. It was bright, colorful, and an incrediby vivacious performance by Kirsten Dunst. What I didn't really see coming was the unique casting. Molly Shannon, Jason Schwartzmann, and Rip Torn placed in roles that weren't what we viewers were used to seeing them in, and in turn made it entertaining to watch whether or not their careers were able to stand the test of dramatic arts, and not the comedy safety net they became accustomed to (although one of Rip Torn's first dramatic roles happened to be in the film adaptation of Tennesee William's play, Sweet Bird of Youth, alongside an in-his-prime Paul Newman).

Despite what anyone else thinks or says, I believe Sofia Coppola outdid herself and should've earned more respect than the flack she received. It was visually pleasing, and recognized as so when it won an Oscar for best costume design in 2007. She stands apart from Francis Ford, and ever so boldly.
