Monica Bellucci incontrerà il pubblico e firmerà in persona i rossetti Dolce & Gabbana domani 26 gennaio a Milano, in Corso Venezia 7, presso la boutique della suddetta casa di moda. Se volete incontrarla, questo è il momento giusto! Noi purtroppo non ci saremo, ma saremo felici di pubblicare eventuali foto che ci manderete al nostro indirizzo email

Here we are with more than 500 pictures, including 313 exclusive screencaptures from Bahman Ghobadi’s Rhino Season, which we highly recommend – it is a very touching and visually stunning movie, and Monica’s job in it is absolutely flawless, one of her best works probably. Unfortunately the screencaptures are MQ with a Turkish television logo in a corner. We’ll replace the screencaps with some new and better ones as soon as we get the DVD More pictures are from the full coverage from Bosnia - check it out in our latest gallery adds!

ALSO, Monica attended the Dolce&Gabbana’s haute couture show in Milan a few hours ago, here is the only pictures surfaced so far.

Check back soon tomorrow for more pictures and news

Serbian director Emir Kusturica is about to direct Monica Bellucci, Tahar Rahim and fiancé Leila Bekhti in his upcoming project, which is still untitled but whose plot has already been unveiled yesterday by Kusturica himself, at Marrakech Film Festival:

«It’s a beautiful love story – a young Moroccan wife doesn’t see things clearly, so she needs to move to France to get better. Her grandfather  sets up a wedding with a rich old man so she can go to Marseille, while her lover stays in Morocco and tries everything to join her».

I assume the “young wife” is clearly going to be played by Bekhti (which is of Algerian heritage), so we’ll have to wait to know more about Monica’s role. Shootings are scheduled for the end of April 2013.

And speaking of April 2013, I have some good news for Monica’s Italian fans! Des Gens Qui S’embrassent‘s French release has been slightly delayed from April 13 to April 24, in order to have a simoultaneos release both in Italy and in France.

And after the news, here are some pictures from Rhino Season’s photocall and Dior dinner, which took place yesterday at Marrakech Film Festival.

Il regista serbo Emir Kusturica dirigerà Monica Bellucci, Tahar Rahim e la fidanzata Leila Bekhti nel suo prossimo film, che è ancora senza titolo ma la cui trama è stata già rivelata ieri, dallo stesso Kusturica, in occasione del Marrakech Film Festival:

«E’ una bellissima storia d’amore – una giovane moglie marocchina non vede le cose in modo chiaro, quindi ha bisogno di andare in Francia per guarire. Suo nonno organizza un matrimonio con un uomo ricco e vecchio cosicché lei possa trasferirsi a Marsiglia, mentre il suo amante, rimasto in Marocco, cercherà di fare di tutto per raggiungerla».

Presumo che la “giovane moglie” sarà chiaramente interpretata dalla Bekthi (che è di origini algerine), quindi dovremo aspettare perché si sappia qualcosa di più a proposito del ruolo di Monica. Le riprese sono previste per la fine di aprile 2013.

E a proposito di aprile 2013, ho delle buone notizie per i fans italiani! L’uscita francese di Des Gens Qui S’embrassent è stata leggermente spostata, dal 13 al 24 aprile, per permetterne l’uscita simultanea sia nei cinema francesi che in quelli italiani.

She does not fear aging at all does she? Monica was looking amazing yesterday on the red carpet for a tribute to Hindi cinema in Marrakech, Morocco. Expect to see more from Marrakech since she is there to promote Rhino Season!

PS. Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I am very busy at work but I’m gonna give you a HUGE update soon!

Monica Bellucci attended a state dinner to honor Italian President Giorgio Napolitano at the Elysee Palace in Paris yesterday. President Napolitano is on a two-day state visit in Paris, and the event was attended by French President Francois Holland himself.
