Here’s a quick video of Monica and Sophie Marceau walking the red carpet for the Ne Te Retourne Pas premiere in Cannes. Enjoy!

Tornatore’s latest film, Baaria – La Porta del Vento, will open this year’s Venice Film Festival with its world premiere. Monica plays a very small role in the movie (it actually feels more like a cameo), so we can’t be certain she’s going to attend the event.

Ms. Bellucci will star in a brand new French movie project, whose temporary title is J’Ai Gardé les Anges. The film is being directed by Philippe Garrel and co-starring is director’s son Louis Garrel (The Dreamers). Nothing has been revealed yet about the plot or setting. Shooting will start in 2010.

Unfortunately Monica did not attend Berlin Film Festival to promote the movie. During the press conference, director Rebecca Miller said about Ms. Bellucci:

I saw her at the Morocco Film Festival, and then I thought “My God, she’s Gigi.” So I actually wrote the script and her character thinking about her. I wasn’t sure she would accept, but she said yes.

There’s something about her that’s larger than life. She is sort of iconic. And she played the role very well, she perfectly knew how it had to be done. It was great to work with her, she is very sweet. A lovely woman.

According to Berlin Film Festival’s official schedule, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee is going to have its world premiere on February 9. Let’s hope Monique attends the event…

According to Italian television critic and blogger Davide Maggio, Ms. Bellucci’s rep has just confirmed that the actress will be hosting the next Italian music festival of Sanremo, opening on February 17. If this is true, Monica Bellucci is going to host the show with famous presenter Paolo Bonolis for one of the four shows that will take place in the city of Sanremo. The event, as usual, will be airing on Italian tv.

An official statement is expected in the next hours.
