Monica Bellucci shared a few facts about her role in Eric Judor’s TV show Platane, debuting on French television this September:

«I’m playing myself on this show, just like Eric Judor does. In the show, he asks me to play a R’n'B music star for the movie he’s directing, La Môme 2.0 Next Generation. I am not against TV shows, if they are good. They asked me to make some comedies [for TV] but I didn’t like them. I liked Eric’s series, I think it is so smart, plus I love the screenplay, it makes me laugh, and I love what he did before with Ramzy. I’m really having fun doing this…»

Monica Bellucci ha rivelato alcuni particolari sul suo ruolo nella serie televisiva francese di Eric Judor, Platane:

«Interpreto me stessa in questa serie, come Eric Judor. Nello show, lui mi chiede di interpretare una star R’n'B’ per il film che sta dirigento, La Môme 2.0 Next Generation. Non sono contro gli show televisivi se sono ben fatti. Mi hanno chiesto di fare qualche commedia [per la TV], ma non mi piacevano. Mi è piaciuta la serie di Eric, credo sia acuta e intelligente, adoro il copione, mi fa ridere, e poi amo quello che ha fatto con Ramzy. Mi sto divertendo un mondo a girare…»

Platane debutta alla tv francese a settembre.

Well, this was totally unexpected: Monica Bellucci is shooting some episodes for Platane, and here is the very first still from the production!
“Platane” is a French twelve 30-minutes episodes TV serie, produced by Eric Judor and Canal+. It will be out in 2011 – an official date for release is unknown. According to sources, Monica’s husband Vincent Cassel should be in too.
We still don’t know if Monica Bellucci will play herself or a character, but in the meantime here is the plot, taken by Canal+ website:

Right after coming out of a coma, Eric, still shocked, has a revelation: he’s going to test himself in author movies and show the world he can make a serious, profound, moving film. Despite general skepticism, he decides to write a sequel for ‘la mome’: ‘la mome 2.0 next generation’. Surrounded by a crew whose professionality is yet to be proven, constantly rejected by the woman he tries to conquer… will eric find the strength to bring on the ambitious project that could change forever the face of the french movie industry?

She surely looks sultry and gorgeous – can’t wait to see more!
