According to Variety, Elle is set to start in an upcoming Sally Potter film alongside Javier Bardem, Salma Hayek, Chris Rock, and Laura Linney. Potter previously directed Elle in “Ginger & Rosa” (2012).

Production has begun in Spain on Sally Potter’s untitled family drama, starring Javier Bardem, Elle Fanning, Salma Hayek, Chris Rock, and Laura Linney.

The story is described as a chronicle of a wild day in the life of a man on the edge, held together by the unconditional love of his daughter with Bardem and Fanning in those roles. Hayek will portray Bardem’s spouse and childhood sweetheart. The film will also shoot on location in New York in January.

HanWay Films and Bleecker Street have partnered to jointly acquire worldwide rights. HanWay Films will handle the international sales and distribution and will commence sales at the upcoming European Film Market at the Berlin Film Festival. Bleecker Street will distribute the film in the U.S.

Potter’s long-time collaborator Christopher Sheppard — whose credits include “The Party,” “Ginger & Rosa,” and “Orlando” — is producing through Adventure Pictures. The film was co-developed by BBC Films and the BFI and is funded by HanWay Films, Bleecker Street, Ingenious Media, BBC Films, the BFI (awarding National Lottery funding), Chimney Pot Sverige AB and Film i Väst.

Another year has come to an end, and it’s time for us to go through its best moments again! In 2017, Totally Elle went through many changes – it got a new owner, new layouts and a complete revamp of its gallery and pages. It also completed 14 years online!

We made over 130 posts to this fansite in 2017. The very first news we got to share were about Elle filming I Think We’re Alone Now with actor Peter Dinklage (x), in April. A few days later, A24 and DirecTV acquired the drama Sidney Hall, which had premiered in January at the Sundance Film Festival (x). Still in April, we got the official trailer for the film About Ray (x), and the official trailer for The Beguiled (x).

In May, Elle became the international spokesperson for L’Oréal Paris, and attended the Cannes Film Festival, where “The Beguiled” and How To Talk To Girls At Parties premiered (x, x). Elle stars in both films with actress Nicole Kidman, and the pair posed for some very sweet pictures during the festival.

In June, the official trailer for the animated movie Leap!, previously known as “Ballerina”, was released (x). This was also the month when Elle joined The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (x).

In July, Elle starred in a new campaign for Tiffany & Co. (x), and in October the international trailer for “How To Talk To Girls at Parties” was released (x).

Elle attended the Toronto International Film Festival in September to promote the film Mary Shelley (x), in which she stars with actors Douglas Booth and Maisie Williams.

All in all, 2017 ended up being a big year for Elle’s film career. We saw the release of many more films than we had in any other year: “Sidney Hall”, “The Beguiled”, “Leap”, “How To Talk To Girls At Parties”, “Mary Shelley”, “About Ray” and “Leap!” – and she has a starring role in all of them. That, of course, meant a lot of promotion. Elle got to cover big magazines, such as Elle UK, Vogue, Dazed, Grazia and L’Officiel.

Besides L’Oréal Paris and Tiffany & Co., Elle also posed for Miu Miu. She’s featured in their Croisere 2018 campaign (x), as well as in their holiday Whispers campaign (x), which also features her sister Dakota Fanning.

Thank you guys so much for supporting us through yet another year. Running Totally Elle has been a joy, and I’m sure Elle has many great things in store for 2018. I hope this next year brings you all love, happiness and success! I’ll see you then! ❤

Hey guys! Totally Elle has recently completed 14 years online, and it hasn’t had an actual staff in a long while. I’m currently running the site on my own, and I’d love to have some company. Basic knowledge in html/css would be great, or even just experience running a blog, but it’s not a requirement. If you’re willing to learn, I’d be happy to teach what you need to know to help me keep Elle’s first fansite up-to-date.

Our site is also on Twitter and Instagram – if you’d rather help us update those instead of the site, that’d be lovely too.

If you’re interested, please contact me. 🙂

Hey guys! How do you like our new themes? I realized yesterday I was a bit tired of the busy look we had before, so I quickly put a new header together and edited one of Ray‘s pretty premades to use it. The photos I used are from the Elle Spain photoshoot by Thomas Whiteside.

On another note, now that we have a new layout up I might finally start working on our pages. I still have the ones from the previous owner, which need some updating and then they’ll be good to go. But I also want to put some new ones up, including a page for affiliated websites. As you can see, we have a few of those on our sidebar, but I’d love to have some more. If you run a fansite and are interested, please e-mail me here. I’m accepting tumblr blogs, twitter accounts, instagram accounts, facebook pages and all sorts of social networks related to Elle, too.

Friendly reminder: We are on Twitter and on Instagram!
