I woke up today to an inbox full of scans by the lovely Marine, which have been added to the gallery! They are from Studio (November 2008), Madame Figaro (May 2009), Femmes (July-August 2009), Célébrité (August 2009), and Cinémag (August-September 2009).

There are also another couple new interviews to read online, one in French and one in English.

L’actrice Mélanie Laurent est à Montréal pour promouvoir le dernier film de Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds, dans lequel elle partage l’affiche avec Brad Pitt et Diane Kruger.

Though cool and collected on screen, in person Laurent (pictured above in an exclusive still from Basterds) is all impish charm, suggesting a younger, delightfully bratty variation on Marion Cotillard. As she folded her legs beneath her and smoked a slim cigarette, Movieline asked Laurent to elaborate on all things Basterds, including the unconventional demands made on her by Quentin Tarantino, her relationship with onscreen suitor Daniel Brühl, and the Shosanna scenes that Laurent found pivotal, yet ended up on the cutting room floor.

Have you seen Mélanie in Inglourious Basterds yet? What are your thoughts on her first international performance? (I’m off to a midnight screening tonight myself!)

Mélanie was in the August 14th issue of Le Figaro magazine, which Marine has been kind enough to donate a scan of! You can find it in the gallery.

Also, there’s another new interview on New York website UrbanDaddy. Thanks to user toohauteforyou at The Fashion Spot for the heads up about this!

300 Words* From a Beautiful Woman On…
…French Porn, American Cigarettes and Killing Nazis

You may not have a vision of French ingenue Mélanie Laurent burned in your brain just yet, but Quentin Tarantino’s Nazi deathpic Inglourious Basterds should help. As should the French porno she just directed, A Ses Pieds. We sat down with her on the still-unopened-but-totally-stunning roof deck of the Standard Hotel and let her French charm wash over us…

Mélanie has had a busy couple days in New York, attending two screenings of Inglourious Basterds two days in a row. The first was the Cinema Society screening, which was a red carpet event with the rest of the cast — and a host of other celebrities — while the other was low-key with only her and Christoph Waltz. Photos for both (plus the Cinema Society after party) have been added to the gallery.

In addition, there are a few new English-language video interviews that looks like they were all filmed at the same time. I’ll add screencaptures to the gallery soon, but in the meantime you can watch two of them here and here at filmsnmovies.com and the third embedded below.

While we’re waiting patiently for the Hollywood premiere of Inglourious Basterds and the media that will follow leading up to August 19th/21st, I’ve added screencaptures of a couple recent online interviews to the gallery. The first one is from back in May at the Cannes Film Festival, where Mélanie talks about Inglourious Basterds, and the second one is from July at Canal+’s website where she talks about Jusqu’à toi and her future projects. You can watch the originals at the Allocine and Canal+ websites.

Since there’s not a lot of new information or media right now, I thought now was the best time to collect some older images that we don’t have. First order on the list, was some more stills from Mélanie’s February 2008 appearance on “Vivement Dimanche”, where she promoted the then upcoming film “La Chambre des Morts”. Happy browsing, visitors!

It seems that Mélanie had a television appearance on the 12 of February. Whilst browsing, I came across 4 stills from her appearance on the French talk show “Vivement Dimanche”, which plays on France 2. Unfortunately, I’ve been unable to come across a video just yet, as I’m not a resident of France. So, if any of the visitors here were able to record the broadcast, feel free to send us the video at contact@melanie-laurent.net . For now, check out the gorgeous stills in our gallery.
