First Look: Pierre Niney In François Ozon's Next Movie

Francois Ozon's latest movie, The New Girlfriend, is just out this week in US theatres, but the prolific filmmaker is already on set for Frantz, a period piece he wrote, and in which rising star Pierre Niney (Yves Saint Laurent) will play one of the leads.

The actor recently teaser a picture from the set:

The movie will be set in the aftermath of World War I, in a small German town. According to Cineuropa, the story, penned by Ozon, follows a woman named Anna who mourns her soldier fiance, Frantz, who was killed in the war. One day a mysterious young Frenchman, Adrien (Niney), also comes to lay flowers on the grave, and his presence sparks unpredictable reactions.

Sounds like a gay-ish plot twist just waiting to happen! We can only hope so.
