I saw this too on instagram. It seems to me he is coming to Paris again ....we'll see in a few days.
Well, if so, he really couldn't sit still for long |

Well sort of, thanks Ivana. Although personally I didn't doubt that it was our Simon they were talking about.
The reason for my question was because I don't know if guests on this show always appear in person, or if sometimes interviews are pre-recorded at a different location. The words 'sur le plateau du' seem to mean 'on the set of', but I'm not confident enough of google translate to be sure about it. |

I thought first the guest was "the other" Simon Baker, ie the british DJ, because Simon doesn't have any thing to promote, the Season 6 brodcast is over in France (since december), and there's no Longines event (as far as I know). So it was a good surprise.
Maybe he's here only for vacation, but as he usually mixes tourism with work (you don't fly thousands kilometres only for a short interview), I assume he got things to do with Givenchy, maybe?
Also I found strange he's not a TF1 guest (the channel wixh brodcast The Mentalist) but a Canal + guest. Then I remembered Studio Canal co-produced "I give it a year", and thought maybe Studio Canal will be involved in the production of Simon's movie? It's pure speculation of course. |

DSP I don't think it's pure speculation and I did the same analysis as you just 5 minutes ago on the home page  |

wow DS and Marta--our own detectives! I suspected that he might be making the appearance to garner support for "Breath" He also made a big point of praising the French film industry in an interview last year....
looks like he's not wasting any time getting back to work! |

Thanks for that, confirms that Simon will be there. I agree he must have other reasons to make the journey worthwhile, not necessarily in Paris though, could be somewhere else in Europe I suppose. |

An Australian film for Simon?
As it inches towards pre-production, Fred Schepisi’s “The Olive Sisters”, based on the best-selling book by Amanda Hampton, thickens it’s cast.
We’re told Leslie Mann (“The Other Woman”) and Simon Baker (“The Mentalist”) have joined the film, which is set to go into production down under shortly. The film sees Baker return to his native Australia, where he cut his teeth on such shows and features as “E-Street” and “Love From Ground Zero”; while Mann’s versatility as a performer – she’s best known for comedies, but has done her fair share of dramatic work – will see her a worthy addition to a terrific yarn.
The movie will tell the story of two generations of an Italian family . Part of the film will focus on the family in the ’50s, while the other will be set in the modern-day and follow the granddaughter. The movie, which Hampton is also adapting for the screen, has been in development for quite some time but is now welcomingly gearing up for a shoot down under.
Here’s the synopsis of the book from Amazon :
When Adrienne’s marketing company goes down, her lifestyle does too. She retreats from the city to the beautiful, abandoned olive grove once owned by her Italian grandparents. A ‘tree change’ isn’t what Adrienne has in mind, however, and life in the country delivers some surprises as she confronts the past and learns the secrets of the Olive Sisters . . . Old loves, new loves, warm toast and rich traditions are all part of the delicious blend of this absorbing story.

Great news indeed. I looked up the director on IMDB, and he has a very good resume, so hopefully this movie will get worldwide distribution, though I'll hunt it down even if it doesn't. It seems that Simon is following his heart these days, and his heart is in Australia.
PS thanks for posting, Pallas.

Thanks DSP. Wasn't expecting this! I wonder how big Simon's part is, he doesn't have Italian looks, but maybe he's an "old love" or a "new love" 
Wanda, I think Australia is not just where Simon's heart is, I think he also wants to give something back to the Australian film industry.
Can't see the film on imdb yet, but here's the page for Fred Schepisi for those who'd like to check him out: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0770961/ |
