Beautiful poster of BDS, magnificent and simple, all together. It's for the release in June 19, in France. Thanks to Helen and JRM Source.

Article on the style of clothing in Belle. Mostly related to Natalia, but at the end words about Jonny.

http://stylelovely.com/stylemeifyoucan/2013/05/06/natalia-vodianova-stars-in-belle-du-seigneur/

Nice pictures from the movie in that article. I like this one very much:

French trailer for Belle, but in English this time. Now I can really understand, and learn a bit of French again through subtitles.



I really hope I can see this in the Netherlands at some point.

probably next 14 of June Jonny will attend to french premiere of this movie with Natalia. Fingers crossing!

Yeah, somebody tweeted that, well the site for belle du seigneur i believe even, but just now i read a tweet that someone called and the answer was that he wasn't going to be there. So i don't know anymore. I think it's a bit strange these conflicting news. But with Jonny still filming Dracula it might not be possible for him to attend...
