Our girl Léa

Good news for Léa Seydoux fans (and let's face it, we're all Léa Seydoux fans): our girl has landed a part in the highly anticipated new Wes Anderson movie.

The Grand Budapest Hotel is said to be coming out later this year, though there's no definite release date yet. In fact, the whole project is pretty mysterious, so it shouldn't be a surprise that there's also no information on either the seize or the nature of Seydoux' role. But it's going to be awesome all the same, that much we do know.

The first time I saw Léa Seydoux was in La Belle Personne (Christophe Honoré, 2008), in which she portrays a high scool student caught in a love triangle. Yes, this movie is very, very French but definitely worth your while, for several reasons besides Seydoux.

Seydoux has kept herself busy since then. I've spotted her in small parts, like in Jessica Hausner's Lourdes and in Woody Allens Midnight in Paris (where she plays the boring part of The Right Girl Owen Wilson's character ends up with). I've spotted her in larger parts, like opposite Diane Kruger in  Les adieux à la reine and in Ursula Meier's L'enfant d'en haut (Sister). She also played the lead in Rebecca Zlotowski's impressive but obscure Belle Épine. And then she did some big time Hollywood stuff like Robin Hood, Inglourious Basterds and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (which I haven't seen but apparently features Seydoux in a cat fight with some other impossibly hot girl).

Furthermore, Seydoux  just finished shooting Le bleu est une couleur chaude, a film by Abdellatif Kechiche, whose previous film is the extraordinary Black Venus. Something to look forward to, for sure, with Seydoux playing the female lead.
