Audrey Tautou
French film star, Audrey Tautou has begun filming the biopic of fashion designer Coco Chanel in Paris today.
We reported that Tautou was to star as the fashion legend a few months ago and now the film is in production.
The project titled 'Coco avent Chanel' is directed by Anne Fontaine and is partially based on Edmonde Charles-Roux’s book 'L’Irreguliere' ('The Non-Conformist').
Tautou is an apt choice for portraying the fashion star, as she is also the next spokesmodel for Chanel No. 5, replacing Nicole Kidman.
She will be directed in the advertisement by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and it will be released in 2009 to coincide with the film's release.
