CAA Signs ‘The Artist’ Director Michel Hazanavicius

• The Artist may have been a French production, and it may be “silent”, but it’s an English language film…at least the version originale I saw in Paris was. I would say this was his English language debut. It might be more appropriate to say he’s looking to make his first American studio film.

  • You mean the ten, twelve words actually spoken, Lars, or the language on the occasional scene cards? I hate myself for writing this (it’s merely my naming the source, not me boasting), but Hazanavicius told me today he’s already turned down an A-list studio film and is not in any hurry to make one. If the right one comes along, fine, otherwise he has other projects to occupy himself with.

• All that matters is he is married to Berenice Bejo. No matter what happens from here, he is the luckiest guy on earth.
