Taking Lives’ Olivier Martinez has signed on to star in an English-language adaptation of cult French book Belle Du Seigneur.

Leonor Watling (My Life Without Me) will co-star in the tale of a controversial love affair between Solal, a Jewish League Of Nations official and the protestant wife of one of his employees.

With a shoot planned for Switzerland, Italy and Germany this October, Glenio Bonder will step behind the camera for the first time.

"In English it can be a freer adaptation than if it were in the original French," the director blabbed to Variety at Cannes. We’ll have to wait and see what he means.
