It is one of three high-profile projects been launched by TF1 International’s new sales chief Sabine Chemaly, also comprising Christian Carion’s Letter from an Unknown Woman (Lettre d’une inconnue) and the Philippe Claudel’s Avant l”Hiver.
Cillian Murphy has recently signed to co-star opposite Mélanie Laurent in Carion’s adapation of Stefan Zweig’s popular short story about a pop star who receives a life-changing letter from an admirer. The film produced by Les Films du 24 is due shoot in the second half of 2012. www.screendaily.com/news/production/kelly-reilly-to-star-in-birger-larsens-the-ice-princess/5042084.article

Great news, Polaris! Have a CB.
Well, I'm happy to see that Cillian will be getting back in front of the lens... just wish it was going to shoot a little sooner. End of the year shoot means the film probably won't be out till next summer or end of next year.
Leyla, what is the film that has already been made from this short story?

Really intrigued by the concept of Cillian playing a pop star... I'm imagining him looking something like Neil when he was doing his rock-star thing in WTD... but not silly. That would be utterly fantastic.
Personal request: Hair extensions, Capa-style!!!

Cillian Murphy and Mélanie Laurent?... Is this the real life?
I'm at a loss for words.

My greatest wish would be for him to sing in this movie. When he sings, the world is a better place, I really love his voice

Cillian as pop-star must be really cool. I've read the novel (only 30 pages¡) and the real protagonist is the woman, she's been smitten for him since she was a child, finally they met and her life (non his) changed for ever at a certain point. On the short story, the man is a famous pianist, loved by all kind of women and not compromised with any , absolutely allergic to compromise more than 2 nights on a row.. A real charming play-boy. Can you imagine Cillian as this sort of rascal? If so, I can't wait!!!

I have ALWAYS wanted to see Cillian play some sort of womanizer - he'd be so good at playing both sides of such a character; both seductively charming yet selfishly indifferent. Could be a dream come true for me! Also, it sounds like he might have to portray this pop star over a long period of time, which could possibly entail him being made to look younger at some parts than others... I'm really intrigued!!
