After spending most of 2012’s Oscar season learning how to touch-type the director’s syllable-heavy surname, it’s time to get that muscle memory back into gear, as French director Michel Hazanavicius is back with his followup to monochrome Oscar darling, THE ARTIST – unless we count 2012’s short film showcase, LES INFIDELES, aka, THE PLAYERS.
Hazanavicius’ involvement in a remake of Fred Zinnemann’s 1948 film, THE SEARCH, was confirmed prior to THE ARTIST’s five Academy Awards, but word has it that the project has been filming since August. Though details are sparse, this collaborative effort with THE ARTIST’s respective producer and cinematographer, Thomas Langmann and Guillame Schiffman, is reportedly soon to shift production from Georgia to Paris.
Berenice Bejo – aka Mrs. Hazanavicius – is set to lead the tale of an NGO worker who looks to help a lost boy reunite with his family, with rumours of Annette Bening’s involvement simply rumours at this stage. But, with a solid Oscar track record and the potential for a strong female cast, Harvey Weinstein may just want to keep his eyes on THE SEARCH.
