Teens, queens and MONARCHY.
Production has begun on "Marie Antoinette" Movie...Kirsten Dunst, who previously appeared in Coppola's drama "The Virgin Suicides," portrays the young Austrian princess, who, as a teenager, becomes Queen of France. Jason Schwartzman portrays her indifferent husband Louis XVI.
Other members of the ensemble, portraying various members of the elitist court of Versailles include Rip Torn (in the role of King Louis XV), Judy Davis (as the Comtesse de Noailles), Steve Coogan (as Mercy), Asia Argento (playing the Comtesse du Barry), Marianne Faithful (Maria-Teresa), Aurore Clement (Duchesse de Chartres), Molly Shannon (Aunt Victoire) and Shirley Henderson (Aunt Sophie).
Did I mention, I'M SO CONFUSED!
From the Guardian Unlimited:
The film has been described as a "stylised" version of the story of Marie Antoinette, who was blamed for many of the excesses of the monarchy by the protagonists of the French revolution and finally sent to the guillotine in 1793.
Le sigh.
P.S. Go here to see some so-far-away-they're-comical photos from the set.
