An Overload of Photos from The Beguiled Premiere
I already made this post about some of the other movies and young actresses at this year's Cannes Film Festival, but I thought the premiere of The Beguiled, held at the Palais des Festivals on May 24, deserved its own post. I am so looking forward to this movie and seeing so many former/current young actresses onscreen together!
The Stars of The Beguiled: Addison Riecke, 13, Elle Fanning, 19, Kirsten Dunst, 35, director Sofia Coppola ( Somewhere), Nicole Kidman ( Big Little Lies), Collin Farrell, and Angourie Rice, 16.
Another view: Angourie, Farrell, Kidman, Coppola, Kirsten, Elle, and Addison. The two other young stars of The Beguiled, Oona Laurence, 14, and Emma Howard, didn't attend the Cannes premiere.
I love Elle's arm around Addison's shoulders, and it's funny how much taller Elle is than her!
Kirsten (who at one point appeared to break down in tears at the premiere) on the Fanning sisters: "I'm very close to them. I knew Dakota first and then I had met Elle, but then we became very close on this movie. She would sleep over at my house. She's like my little sister. I love her." Kirsten said back in this 2015 interview that "Dakota Fanning reminds me a lot of myself."
Elle at a photocall with Nicole and Kirsten on May 24. Elle: "Sofia held these rehearsals that were specific to the Civil War era. Even though our characters are not blood-related, we are all supposed to feel like family, so we would just hang out together. Sofia had us make breakfast in character. We had dance lessons and sewing lessons too, which we did it in our corsets to get used to the costumes."
Angourie beside Kirsten at a cast press conference on May 24. Angourie on working with Coppola: "I was so nervous because I really wanted to get it right because she's one of my idols. I really wanted to work with her, and I was so excited to, and she's just phenomenal."
Addison at the press conference. Kirsten, Elle, and Angourie have all been to the Cannes Film Festival at least once before, but it was the first time for thirteen-year-old Addison, who's biggest project until now has been the TV series The Thundermans. She's a long way from Nickelodeon here!
The Beguiled has been receiving positive reviews at Cannes, and it's won Best Director for Sofia Coppola, marking the first time in over fifty years that a woman has won this award.
The Beguiled is due out on June 30 - Elle's excited, too!
