They include such projects as Memoirs of a Midget (at 5ft 6in, she's too tall), Five Psychopaths (she has wonderfully wild eyes, but it's probably not really her thing), Thérèse Raquin (already filmed, but she would have been great as Zola's tortured murderer). Perhaps they will give me a bead on where the fifth French Bond girl's career is going next. While I wait, I survey a shelf of film scripts in her agent's Covent Garden office. Or they arrive in private jets from Juan-les-Pins, with irritating little dogs.
They get teleported from Armani photoshoots at the Palais Royal to the interview with their cheekbones' molecular structure perfectly reconstituted, their blushes like roses under April snow, their flunkies flustered in their mistresses' imperious wakes. Glamorous French actresses don't get stuck at Euston.
Eva Green is stuck in traffic at Euston and will be late.
