Love Crime (Crime D’amour)
Directed by Alain Corneau
Screenplay by Alain Corneau and Nathalie Carter

Falling between them is Philippe (Patrick Mille), whose company holds accounts with Christine’s. Both women sleep with Philippe within the first fifteen minutes of Love Crime and,...

An international teaser trailer for Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard, the second film in the Luc Besson-directed animated/live action adventure series, is now online. The films are based on a series of books written by Besson and the first film, Arthur and the Invisibles, opened in 2006. In Revenge of Maltazard, Arthur (Freddie Highmore) answers a distress call from Princess Selenia, who is menaced by the nefarious Maltazard. It also stars Mia Farrow, Robert Stanton, Matthew Gonder and Penny Balfour. It opens in France next Christmas. A North American release still hasn’t been set. Besson shot Maltazard back-to-back with Arthur and the Two Worlds War, which is expected to hit theaters in 2010.
