Coco Avant Chanel trailer

There's a trailer for Coco Avant Chanel that made it's way online about a week ago which The Playlist has pointed out for us. The film stars Audrey Tautou and focuses on the life of Coco Chanel before she became a famous fashion designer. It opened in France in April and will be released on July 31 in the UK and on September 25 in the US.

This is the first trailer I've seen that's meant for English speaking audiences, so there are subtitles in the trailer. Maybe Marion Cotillard's success with La Vie en Rose will be able to help Tautou with this particular biopic, and hopefully that, combined with all the praise for her will give her an extra push at the end of the year.

Audrey Tautou is now the face of Chanel No. 5 and In Contention points us to the commercial which is directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and obviously designed to remind us that Tautou plays Chanel in Coco Avant Chanel (a North American release date hasn't been announced yet):

Feeling overwhelmed with trailers?

Well, I'm about to bombard you with two more.

Nathaniel from Film Experience points us to the first trailer of Coco Avant Chanel (Coco Before Chanel) featuring gamine French starlet Audrey Tautou as Coco Chanel. There are no subtitles in the trailer, but the costumes are gorgeous:



The second is the international trailer for State of Play starring Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Helen Mirren, and Rachel McAdams. The film is based on a British mini-series of the same name that featured James McAvoy. But, I won't go into my James McAvoy obsession. Check out the trailer below:
