Dear Juliette Binoche, why can’t we see more of you every year? Fresh off the success of her role in director Abbas Kiarostami’s “Certified Copy,” which many of our staffers love, Binoche already has work lined up in highly anticipated films like David Cronenberg’s odyssey “Cosmopolis.” While that film is in post-production now, Binoche is already moving forward, as Variety reports she’s set to star in helmer Fabrice Camoin's feature debut, "A Stormy Summer Night."

If you want to talk about a director getting lucky, take a look at Fabrice Camoin. She’s only directed two shorts thus far in her career, but Variety is reporting that she’ll be directing A Stormy Summer Night, which is a film adaptation of Marguerite Duras‘ novel, 10 heures et demi du soir en ete. The big news, though, is that she’ll have Juliette Binoche — a.k.a. one of the most respected actresses in the world — starring for her. Not bad at all.

Shooting on the film is slated to commence next year. Les Films Du Poisson will produce, while Rezo is distributing in France.
