See On BFMTV today (traduction) " On the sidelines of the Cannes Festival, La Croisette may also be the place unannounced and surprising encounters. Evoking, Thursday, May 14, the scenes of the first day of the 68th Cannes Film Festival on RTL, Matthias Gurtler, the editor of the magazine Gala told a story about two personalities: Simon Baker and Valérie Damidot.
Turning a stroll by the beach, the future host of NRJ12 crossed the star of The Mentalist, TF1's flagship series. True to its colorful character, the star of the PAF went address the actor to tell him he had been her worst nightmare for years due to the programming of their respective shows.
Indeed, each week, the show D & Co carried by Valérie Damidot on M6 found itself face episodes of the serie Mentalist broadcast on TF1 and taken by Simon Baker. Very often leading the hearings, the detective show then was capable to annoy somewhat the TV presenter. Simon Baker has held to apologize and naturally agreed to pose with former host of D & Co." |

Simon Baker talks directorial debut, Breath
15 MAY, 2015 | BY TIFFANY PRITCHARD
Fresh from the completion of the Mentalist television series, Simon Baker has made a swift stop-over in Cannes to discuss his next big feat - the directorial debut of Breath.
Currently in pre-production, the film is based on Australian writer Tim Winton’s book of the same name that chronicles the lives of two teenage thrill-seeking boys who form an unlikely bond with reclusive older surfer (Baker) and his mysterious wife.
Referring to it as a coming-of-age story that intertwines the complexities of being a parent - Baker gives credence to having two teen-age sons and a 21-year-old daughter as the best research for the project. He says, “There is a fine line between being a parent and a friend, and it is these subtleties that I want to focus on.”
The actor also credits Hinton’s novel as a driving force for pushing him to finally taking the auteur reigns - something he has wanted to do since starting off in the entrainment industry. Using Hinton’s accurate descriptions of life growing up in Oz to the subtleties in detailing adolescent growing pains, he envisions a film that is “nimble, fluid in style and having a natural feel with the use of non-actors.”
“It’s been an incredible experience auditioning actors from all around Australia. We’ve placed ads on social media, and it’s been amazing what kind of response there’s been. There is such raw talent out there, and we’re excited to tap into that.”
Previously, he has directed episodes for television series The Guardian, that he starred in from 2002-2005, and several episodes for The Mentalist, helping to give him an understanding of how the collaboration process works. But nothing, he says, compares to working on an independently financed film from start to finish.
“Working in television has been like film school to me. For each of the episodes I directed for The Mentalist, I always tried to do something different. And working as one of the show’s producers, I involved myself as much as I could in the overall production process - particularly the sound and editing side.”
While he also credits himself as a recreational film-maker and photographer - spending hours in self-built dark rooms or splicing together super 8 films with VHS tapes - he admits however that “working on the financing and early production stages of a film is all-consuming, and like nothing I’ve ever done before.
“It’s a challenge I’m eagerly stepping up to, but certainly not as simple as being given a script and then acting it out.”
The film has been financed through Screen Australia, Screen West and Arclight, and has an estimated production start date for autumn of this year. |

A small article in French, any one up for translating? Using very rusty skills, I'm not sure there's anything new here, but always want to be sure.
