Project Summary
Vermillion returns to the French Revolution era with director Jon Amiel at the helm of this feature adaptation of Joel Gross's play Marie Antoinette: The Color of Flesh. The film follows Élisabeth Vigée Le Brun, a lower-middle-class portrait painter who navigates her way into the royal court of Versailles, ultimately forging a deep friendship with Queen Marie Antoinette. Isabella Rossellini plays Madame de Noailles, an aristocrat devoted to the Queen, while Emma Laird takes on the lead role of Vigée Le Brun and Millicent Simmonds rounds out the cast. The production is being lead-produced by Austria's Katharina Magdalena alongside Academy Award-winning producer Barrie M. Osborne, with European co-production partners including Germany's Odeon Fiction, Zephyr Films in the UK, and JewelLabs Pictures in Austria. Principal photography is planned for the first quarter of 2027 across Austria, Germany, and France, pending final casting confirmation. The project is currently being shopped at Cannes without a sales agent finalized.
