The New It Frenchwoman

French beauty Bérénice Bejo is picking up what Marion Cotillard had to put down (because of those pesky scheduling conflicts – I tell ya...).

The Artist Oscar nominee is set to co-star in the untitled new film from Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Asghar Farhado (A Separation) alongside Tahar Rahim (A Prophet).

No details about the plot are available, although the story is said to have an element of suspense.

Farhado is expected to have the film done in time for next year’s Cannes Film Festival.
