A Glimpse of the New Film

Now I have had my first glimpse of stills from the upcoming film, Farewell, My Queen, on a German site, HERE. It is based upon the novel by Chantal Thomas. Diane Kruger is playing Marie-Antoinette. (Via Vive la Reine.)

Hello,

Is it going to be available here in English?

I wish someone would make a film of TRIANON!

Yes, me, too. It is frustrating since Farewell my Queen is VERY similar to TRIANON in many ways. (TRIANON was published first.)

That has to be deeply frustrating, Maria, and it is very unfair.

That said, this beautiful actress looks completely perfect for the part.

Since you've published very well-written and popular books, you might be able to sign on with a top-flight literary agent who can help promote your work to publishers and film makers alike, especially if you can translate your books into film scripts. You have some great material in your historical novels, especially in THE NIGHT'S DARK SHADE, which deals with a period and subject that hasn't been done to death, unlike the story of Marie Antoinette. Audiences are hankering for something they haven't heard of a million times before, and the Cathar period is bound to be fascinating to readers and viewers who've had enough of the 18th century.

Thanks, NC. Diane makes a great MA. Yes, I have been trying to find an agent for years. The thing about Farewell my Queen is that, like the last film, it does not include the Revolution and the end of her life.
