Daniel Bruhl is reuniting with the director of Good Bye Lenin for a new film, Ich und Kaminski, which will be released in 2010. No other stars have been announced yet, but we know Daniel will play a character called Sebastian, a young journalist writing an article on an artist called Manuel Kaminski.

Speaking of cute foreign-language actors, Gael Garcia Bernal’s new film is out this weekend in the UK. Rudo y Cursi reunites Gael with Diego Luna and the makers of their previous film, Y Tu Mama Tambien, and the storyline involves Gael becoming a popstar!

The third in my trio of favourite foreign actors is Romain Duris, and he also has a new film out soon. Afterwards is his first film in English, but sadly it doesn’t look like my kind of film at all. After Moliére and Paris were both a little disappointing, I think I must concede that Romain will never live up to L’Auberge Espagnol.

Trailer: Paris

Paris finally came out in the UK, albeit only at one London cinema, a few weeks ago, and I’m hoping to go and see it this week. The cause of my excitement is that it reunites Cédric Klapisch with Romain Duris. My favourite French director and actor last worked together on L’auberge Espagnol, which (quelle surprise!) is my favourite French film… well, joint with Paris je t’aime and The Science of Sleep, anyway. It looks like a brilliant film and I am extremely excited about going to see it, even if I’ll probably have to go on my own and spend at least £10 to do it – it will be worth it not to have to wait however many months it is til the DVD release.
