Diane Kruger (“Inglourious Basterds”) will topline “Special Forces,” a $12.6-million Afghanistan-set kidnap drama. Kruger will play a French journo kidnapped by the Taliban. Djimon Hounsou, Denis Menochet, Benoit Magimel, Raphael Personnaz (who appears in competition player “The Princess of Montpensier”) also star. Pic will be directed by Stephane Rybojad.
Produced by StudioCanal and Easy Company’s Thierry Marro and Benoit Ponsaille, “Forces” is in pre-production. The film, which will be shot with the help of the French army, is in the vein of “Black Hawk Down,” said StudioCanal chairman-CEO Olivier Courson.
Meanwhile, StudioCanal is producing serial-killer thriller “Prey,” directed by Eric Valette. The French helmer has just wrapped production on “Hunter,” a 3D English-language horror pic. Budgeted around $12.6 million, “Prey” will star French thesps Andre Dussollier and Albert Dupontel. Both “Special Forces” and “Prey” are part of a push by StudioCanal into upscale French genre fare.
Optimum Releasing and Kinowelt, which are StudioCanal subsidiaries, have taken U.K. and German rights respectively to “The Prey,” and “Special Forces.”
“There’s a real international appetite for high-quality French films, which is shown by the interest of our subsidiaries,” said Courson.
Optimum and Kinowelt usually take two or three of StudioCanal’s French movies a year. Both pics will see theatrical openings. StudioCanal’s competition players, “Outside the Law” and “The Princess of Montpensier,” will be released by Optimum and Kinowelt. (Source)

Calvin Klein’s fragrance ads typically drip with overt sex appeal, but the brand’s latest venture isn’t quite so obviously sultry. This October marks the launch of Calvin Klein Beauty ($50-$85), a refined floral that will be backed by the elegant Diane Kruger.
“Certainly sex is in our DNA, but this fragrance speaks to a different audience [than scents like Obsession and Euphoria]. It is very much the spirit of [Calvin Klein] Collection — elegant, sophisticated, timeless and beautiful — and designed to appeal to a more mature customer,” creative director Francisco Costa told WWD.
Set to debut in October, the scent, inspired by the calla lily, will include top notes of ambrette seeds, a middle note of jasmine, and a bottom note of cedarwood. But will Diane derobe much like Eva Mendes did for Secret Obsession? That’s a negative.
“They showed me the concept, and it was classy. So I knew from the beginning that I didn’t have to take my clothes off,” she said.
Expect to see the new scent, encased in an egg-shaped, silver-accented bottle, on TV, print, and online advertisements. Are you glad to see more clothing in this campaign, or do you prefer things more bare? (Source)

She may have already been nominated for a SAG Award for her acting chops, but Diane Kruger is returning to her modeling roots this fall as the face of Calvin Klein’s newest fragrance, Beauty.
The Inglourious Basterds star–and long-time girlfriend of Fringe actor Joshua Jackson–will star in a series of print and television spots that will be seen around the world. The fragrance’s notes still remain a mystery–and you’ll have a summer-long wait to get a first-person sniff of the scent, which launches in fall 2010. We can’t wait to see this style star’s newest campaign. (Source)

Stars Without Makeup: “I inherited dark circles from my Polish grandmother. A lot of sleep, that is always the best cure. If that is not an option, with is often the case with me, then I turn to cover-up. Also, I have a really large forehead, which troubled me for a while, but I have come to love it. I feel like it has come to define my personality.”
