Bob To Star in new French movie Mauvais Fille
Permalink  
 


First thanks to Scottie for pointing me in this direction because this is news to me, but it seems Geldof is to star in a new French movie called Mauvaise Fille [Bad Girl]

Bob is to play a rock star seperated from his wife. The character is based on French philosopher Bernard Henri Levy. Levy's daughter Justine actually wrote the book based on her fathers life which the emergent film seeks to tell.

Certainly is something different from the usual activism and intermittent music- not sure how Bob's acting skills are these days. Geldof's is the lead male role so even being chosen for that is an accomplishment. Hope his South Dublin French passed the muster!

Maybe Bob will become the new Gerard Depardieu! Anyway bon chance.

he is in a french speaking role? perhaps its a silent film like some of these french films are as in barely any talking, perhaps its just atmosphere with the odd oui and merci here and there.

99 percent certain it will be in French, seeing as its being directed by a French actor/director called Patrick Mille and stars a number of French actors.

The last movie Bob made was the snooker hustler movie Number One back in 1985 as well as The Wall in 1982. Can only imagine somebody approached him rather than Bob suddenly deciding he wanted to act. Also anybody making a movie has to be pretty certain about the cast, otherwise they risk getting the basics wrong. The fact the Geldof was chosen above other actors in very interesting, with Geldof's rustiness in the acting department.

Don't know if the George he plays is mute like Pink, or will Geldof be speaking French.  The female lead is being played by Carole Bouquet, who played  the Bond girl in For Your Eyes Only. Shooting for the film began on April 4th.

His currently filming, as I write. I am sure his loveley missus Jeanne, who is from Paris. has been coaching him, or he may be dubbed, or he may be playing an English speaking  rock star. I will ask at Hay at the QA session after his talk if I get a chance. it would be good to hear all about it.
