_Diving Bell And The Butterfly_ star, and erstwhile Bond villain, Mathieu Amalric has boarded Roman Polanski‘s _Venus In Fur_. The actor, perhaps best known to U.S. audiences as baddie
Dominic Greene in _Quantum Of Solace_, is currently shooting in Paris, his French rep Zelig Films confirms. Amalric is reteaming with Polanski’s wife Emmanuelle Seigner for the film; they
worked together on Julian Schnabel’s _Diving Bell_ in 2008 which brought Amalric a Best Actor César. Louis Garrel had previously been tipped for the lead in _Venus_, the French-language
screen adaptation of David Ives’ erotic and blackly comic Broadway and off-Broadway play. Polanski wrote the script with Ives, and the director’s longtime collaborators Robert Benmussa and
Alain Sarde are producing. Lionsgate/Summit International are repping foreign sales and ICM will handle North American rights. Hyphenate Amalric won a Best Director Palme d’Or for his 2010
comedy _On Tour_ and also has a role in Wes Anderson’s upcoming _The Grand Budapest Hotel_.
