The Concert

Mélanie Laurent Exclusive Interview; THE CONCERT Star On INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS’ Worldwide Appeal, Experiencing Cannes With Quentin Tarantino & Becoming A Virtuoso Violinist In 3 Months

Inglourious Basterds burst onto theater screens around the world last year with heaping doses of gunpowder and star power, namely Brad Pitt, to set box offices on fire.  But while familiar faces like Pitt, Mike Myers and others lit up the screen, two actors all but unknown to American audiences left an undeniable impression.  Christoph Waltz’s Oscar-winning performance as the diabolically delicious Col. Hans Landa has been well documented.  However, Mélanie Laurent’s portrayal of the main heroine Shosanna Dreyfus gave the film its conscience and heart.

Collider caught up with Laurent on the phone recently about her newest film, The Concert, which is in the midst of a national rollout.  Hit the jump for the interview’s transcript and audio, along with news of her post-Basterds work, comparing careers with her good friend Marion Cotillard and Quentin Tarantino’s advice for going behind the camera.

The hits from this year’s American Film Market (AFM)* keep on coming.  The yearly festival where buyers and sellers do business to bring us all the movies we’ll see in the (hopefully) near future offers plenty of photos and full synopses.  You may not have the fat cash to purchase these movies but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy their first images and plot details.  We’ve got the goods for Hellraiser, Earthbound (Starring Kate Hudson and Gael Garcia Bernal), Nowhere Boy, The Concert, The Tournament, and the animated films Escape from Planet Earth, Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs Evil.  Check it all out (plus the digital version of the promo poster for Scream 4) after the jump.  Please note that I have copied down all synopsis exactly as they were originally written.
