A short film Roxane participated in called “Quand j’étais gothique” has been released via TV chain Arte. They’ve also put it online for streaming if you live in countries where Arte broadcasts! The link to watch on Arte’s website is here. See a bit of info, stills, and screencaptures below.

Synopsis

Aurore comes out of detox. Her big sister, who she’s never been close to, wants to take her life in hand, for her own good, against her will. Aurore resists, then succumbs, as if to a new drug.

I have a nice update today. Big thanks to reader Belle for sending these in! We have our first glimpse of Roxane as Sylvie in her upcoming movie “The Most Fun You Can Have Dying” — she looks great! Hopefully a trailer might follow soon.

Since we’ve already started getting more traffic thanks to Roxane’s exposure in “Gossip Girl”, I want to make sure the site is as complete as possible! For today I’ve added some “vintage” Roxane odds and ends: stills from her 2005 telefilm “Les Vagues” and some more photos from the 2001 Berlin Film Festival, where she was promoting “À ma soeur!”. It’s crazy to think that movie is 10 years old this year!

Thanks to Marine I also have some new magazine scans for the gallery! She’s sent Roxane’s page in Be (see last post) as well as a feature from Paris Match from 2009. Enjoy!

I’ve added over 700 high quality DVD captures from Roxane’s long-shelved, finally-released Swiss film “Sennentuntschi.” Enjoy!

Roxane has a new project! It’s already finished filming and the title is “Kiss of the Damned”, directed by Alexandra Cassavetes. Roxane co-stars as vampire sister to Joséphine de la Baume, the French actress/model (perhaps best known stateside for dating Mark Ronson.) Read a bit more below.

Helmer Xan Cassavetes, the daughter of indie icon John Cassavetes, has wrapped production on her narrative feature debut “Kiss of the Damned.”

The Verisimilitude/Deer Jen production stars French thesps Josephine de la Baume and Roxane Mesquida, as well as Milo Ventimiglia, while Michael Rappaport, Riley Keough and Anna Mouglalis co-star.

Alex Orlovsky (‘Blue Valentine”) and Jen Gatien (“Holy Rollers”) produced the Cassavetes-scripted pic.

Story centers around two beautiful French vampire sisters who have separately come to stay at a summer estate — a ‘safe house’ in Connecticut. Ventimiglia plays a screenwriter who begins a love affair with the “good” sister and insists on joining her among the undead. However, after they begin their life together, the other “bad” sister (Mesquida) shows up and begins wreaking havoc almost as soon as she arrives. Slowly, her dark presence threatens to destroy them all.

The visual style of “Kiss of the Damned” is said to be heavily inspired by the look and feel of European art vampire movies of the ’70s, and Cassavetes’ visual influences for the project include Tony Scott’s vampire pic “The Hunger,” Bernardo Bertolucci’s hyper-stylized “The Conformist” and the Belgian vampire classic “Daughters of Darkness.”

This project sounds like a good fit for Roxane — she certainly has the perfect look for the genre! No news on an expected release, but stay tuned.

I’m adding these a little later than I would have liked, but they’re up now! Screencaptures of Roxane in Gregg Araki’s “Kaboom” are now in the gallery. It’s a little sad to see all the promotion for the film come to an end, but it was nice to finally see it. Enjoy! There are some spoilers about Roxane’s character in them, however, so keep that in mind if you haven’t seen it yet.

After a long wait, “Rubber” has finally been released on DVD! It’s available in France right now, but will be released soon in the UK and it’s also available On-Demand in the US. I’ve added high-quality screencaps to the gallery, which you can see below. Roxane isn’t featured that often, but she looks lovely in it.

Worth noting is that the soundtrack (collaborated between director Quentin Dupieux/Mr. Oizo and Justice’s Gaspard Augé) is also available to buy on iTunes — in a year of movies where electronic soundtracks have had a lot of success, I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten much buzz. Tracks like “Tricycle Express” are more like what I expected to hear (and didn’t) when it was announced Daft Punk would be scoring a film.

You can also watch a featurette/intro put together by Magnolia Films below. Roxane is interviewed towards the middle!

Gregg Araki’s “Kaboom” finally has a trailer for its American release. I personally prefer the original that came out to promote in France, but this one features some of the film’s actual soundtrack — you can view the tracklist on Gregg’s Facebook page. Watch below! I’ve also made screencaptures of Roxane’s brief apperances in both the French and American trailers.

“Kaboom” was also recently at the Sundance Film Festival, though Roxane unfortunately was not there to promote with her cast mates. To coincide with the Sundance premiere, the American distributor IFC made it available for viewing on Comcast On Demand. If you don’t have On Demand and have yet to see “Kaboom,” you can either check out this list of screenings in American cities, or wait for the French DVD release, which is March 1st! It’s available both on Blu-Ray and regular DVD. I’ve pre-ordered my copy, so screencaptures shouldn’t be too long to follow once I get it.

Finally, I’ve added the movie’s two posters to the gallery. Take a look!

Hello, Roxane fans! Thanks to a couple of you for links to articles about this project! Roxane is set to film a new feature this month, “The Most Fun You Can Have Dying.” It will be her second English-language feature. Read a bit more below!

Shooting will start later this month on The Most Fun You Can Have Dying, a sexy, audacious and youthful drama written and directed by debut feature filmmaker Kirstin Marcon (pictured).

Adapted from the novel Seraphim Blues by Steven Gannaway, The Most Fun You Can Have Dying will be shot in Europe and New Zealand. Director Kirstin Marcon says, “I am really thrilled to be making this film after six years of planning – we’re shooting in London, Paris, Berlin – and Hamilton – and we’ll be taking the cast, the crew, and eventually the audience on an amazing ride”.

Produced by Alex Cole-Baker with Executive Producer Tim White (Out of the Blue, No. 2), the film stars promising New Zealand actor Matt Whelan as the young and charming Michael, who learns he has just a few months to live. Hating the role of ‘dying boy’, he steals the money raised for treatment and heads overseas determined to have the time of his life. Everything derails when he meets Sylvie, devastatingly beautiful, enigmatic, French, and seriously bad for his health. (…) French “it” girl and actress Roxane Mesquida, will co-star as Sylvie.
