An unrecognizable Guillaume Canet
While no release date has been revealed at this time, the first photo does give a glimpse into the very lickety-split universe of the production. Inside the walls of the Palace of Versailles, Guillaume Canet looks unrecognizable under magnifying prosthetics, silk stockings and bouquets of flowers. Next to her, Mélanie Laurent depicted Marie-Antoinette in a Gollum gown expensive for an Austrian-born queen, her face splashed with a gray headdress. The cast also includes Frenchwoman Avro Bruten, British Tom Hudson and Austrian Roxane Duran.
