suisse1a.jpg (17889 bytes)Here's the first photo (to the left) from Le Voyage en suisse, filmed last August in Switzerland. The film, directed by Lea Fazer, will premiere on June 30, 2004. No synopsis has been given, but Monsieur Cinema reports that Vincent plays a "rather funny character" in this new comedy. By the looks of the photo, he looks like he's about to have some fun in milking the cow. The other photo shows a ST50, which was used in the film to cover a scene where Vincent and Emmanuelle Devos climb this rock at the edge of a cliff. The crane made it possible to follow their progression on the wall, as well as give them low-angle shots.

I just came across a Crow interview clip with Vincent while the movie was being shot. Though it's in French, it's still interesting to watch. Check it out! There's also a short clip of Vincent in Japan when he attended the Yokohama French Film Festival last June. For some reason, Vincent's face seems strangely distorted - you gotta blame it on the camera... it's that fishbowl look...

And here's the first photo of Vincent in costume for his role as Intendant Bigot in Nouvelle France, a co-production from Canada, Britain and France.

Fans keep sending email asking "what's new?" Not much. I'd fill up this page if there was something happening, but it's rather quiet. I do know that Vincent's twins, Tess and Pablo, celebrated their first birthday on January 24. Still no photos of the little ones yet.

I haven't read about any new scripts for this year. For those of you in the US and Canada waiting for DVD releases of VP films, you'll be happy to know that on February 3, you can purchase Fanfan la Tulipe at either Amazon.ca or Cinemaclock.com.

If you still want to marvel at Vincent with sword in hand, here's some good news. On March 9, On Guard (aka Le Bossu) will be released in both DVD and VHS format, and there will be English subtitles! The DVD extras include a photo gallery, original theatrical trailer, interviews and outtakes.You can make your purchase at Amazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com. On Guard garnered several Cesar nominations including Best Supporting Actor for Vincent.

Eddie Mullins of the Video Store posted these remarks last week- "On Guard is great swashbuckling fun of the first order.. Perez plays the duke with appropriate vanity, arrogance and charm, and Auteuil's performance as Lagardere is both hilarious and compelling... Also of special note is the period look of the film, which is as authentic as any Merchant-Ivory production. It is easy to imagine an equivalent American production having fudgedonguarddvd2s.jpg (11651 bytes) on that front--it is primarily an action film after all--but the attention to detail here is rewarding and beautiful to see. On Guard is vastly superior to and more mature than its most recent swashbuckling cousin, The Mask of Zorro, and deserves a rich and happy life on video. Swashbucklers are very popular this year, thanks to Pirates of the Caribbean's Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp, and anyone who enjoys fancy swordplay a la Zorro and The Three Musketeers will relish this charming crowd-pleaser. " For more information, visit the Le Bossu film page.

I have posted another photo gallery called "Autographed Photos" I especially like the one from Le Libertin where Vincent signs his name right over his derriere! Other galleries now open are: Cannes 1997, Cannes 1998, Cannes 1999, Cannes 2000, Movie Posters, and Black and White.

Last September I reported that Vincent attended the 16th Louis Vuitton Classic at the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud. Several celebrities attended and I found several photos but, at the time, I found none of Vincent. Finally, here's one taken with his wife Karine.
