Two days ago Variety reported that MMC Independent, a German production company, was set to co-produce Stephen Frears' Cheri with Michelle Pfeiffer.
 
As we had reported, Miramax and Pathe are in line to distribute the film - which is produced by Bill Kenwright and Tracey Seaward. Writer Christopher Hampton, Andras Hamori, Richard Temple, Francois Ivernel and Cameron McCracken are handling executive producing duties.

The co-production deal was signed on May 13th by Hamori and Ralf Schmitz, CEO of Cologne-based studio MMC in the presence of Andreas Krautscheid, North Rhine-Westphalia's state minister for federal and European affairs, at the state chancellery in Dusseldorf.

Today, we have known —thanks Dennis— that this deal could be due to part of the movie will be filmed in Cologne. It is scheduled that Michelle visit the city to set her scenes falling May.

Besides we can see the very first still online of the movie! An amazing picture of a beautiful Pfeiffer dressed by Consolata Boyle, the costume designer or the movie and who was nominated for the Academy Awards for her work dressing to Helen Mirren for The Queen.

Thanks a lot Dennis for your information

Long time I've been hoping for this video! I remember I just saw a little part of this event but I was too young! ... and now finally I've got the chance to see this video again!! It is —I guess also new for many of you— the Academy Awards of 1988 where Michelle Pfeiffer was nominated for her performance in Dangerous Liaisons.

I'd love to thank WhoIsHeNiobe for sharing this video with all us and for letting me know!. Thanks a lot! you are a real pfan!!. Remember that WhoIsHeNiobe was who gifted us the amazing video "Growing Michelle Pfeiffer" dedicated Michelle's 50th Birthday.

Michelle Pfeiffer at 70th Academy Awards
March 26, 1990
Presentation of "Best Actress"

"Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy" runs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York from May 7 to September 1 with an opening red-carpet gala on Monday night that was to include former "Batman" star George Clooney and actress Julia Roberts alongside designer Giorgio Armani. Sadly our Michelle Pfeiffer didn't attend the event.

The exhibit examines how Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and others have influenced big-name fashion designers. The feminine figure is represented by characters such as Wonder Woman and Catwoman.

In the mirrored exhibition hall, superhero costumes are juxtaposed with the fashion they have influenced, largely a collection of active sportswear and outlandish garb more fit for a Halloween party than a night out at the theater.

Among the costumes on display is the Pfeiffer's remarkably slim black catsuit from 1992's "Batman Returns," and in addition there are real-world examples of dominatrix-style outfits by Mugler and Dolce & Gabbana.

And today new images of Michelle Pfeiffer in Paris on the filming set of Stephen Frears' movie, Cheri, recorded the last Thursday 1st of May. The film is a romantic drama set in 1920s Paris.

Thanks X17Video for airing the video. According them, it is what will probably be Michelle's big comeback. You can see the video below:

Michelle Pfeiffer comes back to be among the "Most Beatiful People on the World" according the famous list of People magazine, with Kate Hudson on the cover.

Let's remember Michelle was the cover of the first edition of this list in 1990, and would repeat in 1999. During all those years she was in the list uninterruptedly. On the other hand, we have to say, the list not only look at the beauty of people, but also it measures the grade of fame of the stars. So if Michelle has been way of the big-screen the latest years, she has been out of the list...

Also let's talk that Michelle Pfeiffer was the only star, alongside Julia Roberts (2000-2005), being cover twice.

About the actress, they says this year:

"Milestones: She received Oscar nods for Love Field, The Fabulous Baker Boys and Dangerous Liaisons. After taking a five-year break and moving her family to Northern California, Pfeiffer reemerged in 2007's Stardust and the musical-comedy hit Hairspray."

Michelle Pfeiffer celebrated her special day, her 50th Birthday, yesterday in Paris during the filming of her latest film, Stephen Frears' Cheri. (See the video below)

And in the evening Michelle and her husband David E. Kelley enjoyed a romantic dinner. In order to celebrate this very special day with his wife, the famous TV writer David E. Kelley flew from Los Angeles, the couple went to "Le Stresa" restaurant with a few friends then headed back to their Parisian hotel.

You can see here the exclusive video of the filming of Cheri. You can perfectly hear "Happy Birthday, Michelle" by paparazzi, and Michelle answering "Thank you!!"
