Stephen Frears' "Cheri," which is premiering clips in the Cannes Market, is moving to Cologne, Germany next week to complete production. Starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Rupert Friend and Kathy Bates, the film is adapted from Colette's famous novel by "Atonement" screenwriter Christopher Hampton. "Cheri" tells the story of a love affair between a retired courtesan (Pfieffer) and the son (Friend) of her old colleague and rival (Bates). "'Cheri' has been a long time in gestation but we have now put together a first class team on both sides of the camera," commented producer Bill Kenwright in a statement. "I am confident that we will have a stunning film with universal appeal." The film shot on locations in Biarritz and Paris in the past few months, and will finish production in Cologne, readying itself for international distribution at the end of 2008. Miramax will handle the film in the US, while Pathe will distribute in the UK and France, as well as handling "Cheri"'s international sales. [Peter Knegt]
