Michel Hazanavicius Directing Bérénice Bejo And Annette Bening In 'The Search'

Briefly: Recent best director Oscar winner Michel Hazanavicius, who won for The Artist, is directing The Artist star Bérénice Bejo and Annette Bening in his upcoming film The Search. The film, which Hazanavicus wrote based on the 1948 film of the same name, is about "an NGO worker who forms a special relationship with a young boy in warn-torn Chechnya." The original film was set in Berlin, after the end of WWII.

The film is shooting now in Georgia (the country, not the state), and Hazanavicus has his producer Thomas Langmann on board, along with crew from The Artist. [Deadline]
