"The Girl Cut in Two" ('La Fille coupée en deux") is a French comedy film directed by Claude Chabrol, starring actors Ludivine Sagnier, François Berléand and Benoît Magimel.
The film revolves around two men who vie for single young woman 'Gabrielle Deneige', a local TV weather girl.
Chabrol is noted as one of the core members of the French New Wave group of filmmakers who first came to prominence in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Like his fellow New Wave directors Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Éric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette, Chabrol worked as a critic for the influential film magazine "Cahiers du Cinema" before pursuing a career in filmmaking.
Often characterized as the most 'mainstream' of the New Wave directors, Chabrol at the age of 78, remains prolific and popular throughout a half-century career...

Columbia Pictures has acquired "Swift," from director Barry Sonnenfeld and Ben David Grabinski, as a potential feature film franchise updating the "Tom Swift" series of adventure novels.
Debuting in 1910, 'the Tom Swift' character is a young inventor in five series of juvenile science fiction/adventure novels, created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate book-packaging firm, to "take advantage of the market for children's science adventure".
The books were written by several ghostwriters over the years, published under the collective pseudonym 'Victor Appleton'.
Each series focused on Tom’s inventions, a number of which pre-dated actual inventions, selling over 20 million copies worldwide.
Sonnenfeld and Grabinski's version would feature Swift as one-half of a father-son team who are among the greatest inventors of all time.
Albie "Lemony Snicket" Hecht will produce with Sonnenfeld...
