The folk at Warner Bros. will finance and produce the Coco Chanel biopic Coco Avant Chanel starring French thespian Audrey Tautou (The Da Vinci Code) reports Variety. Tatou will play the ground-breaking fashion designer whose "modernist philosophy, menswear-inspired fashions, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her arguably the most important figure in the history of 20th-century fashion". Yes, but could she fix that button that keeps falling out of my blazer... The film starts shooting in Paris in mid-September.
