Warner Bros. will produce and distribute the French-language Audrey Tautou-starring biopic "Coco Before Chanel."
House of Chanel art director Karl Lagerfeld has been hired to supervise re-creations of the legendary designer's attire for the film. Anne Fontaine's adaptation of Edmonde Charles-Roux's biography "L'irreguliere" will focus on Chanel's early years.
Warner Bros. International is joining Haut et Court, Cine-@, Warner Bros. Entertainment France and Films Distribution as a producer on the feature.
Warner Bros. plans to release the film domestically in 2009. Given the shuttering of its Picturehouse and Warner Independent Pictures divisions, "Chanel" will be one of the studio's first new tests in handling a specialty release.
