PARIS -- French actress Nathalie Baye has inked a deal to play a domineering and possessive mother who interferes in her son's sex life in 36 Rue des Acacias, the film's producer Frederic Niedermayer said Friday. The French film, to be shot early next year, is directed by first-timer Martial Fougeron and scripted by Fougeron and Florence Eliakim. Niedermayer said it was too early to divulge more details about the project, which will be produced by Moby Dick Films. Baye, who played the doting but self-centered French mother in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can, recently starred in Noemie Lvovsky's Les Sentiments, a romantic comedy that opened early this month in Paris.
