Based on Antonia Fraser’s novel, Oscar-winner Sophia Coppola is writing and directing Marie-Antoinette staring Kirsten Dunst as the infamous French queen. The shoot has actually begun at the Chateau de Versailles (with the permission of the French government) and is expected to take 11 weeks, until around June 15th.

Curiously, Marie Antoinette’s well documented relationship with Le Chevalier de Saint-George is not mentioned in Fraser’s novel.
