Filming Vonda N. McIntyre's The Moon and Sun

The film production of Vonda N. McIntyre's 18th century French alternative historical novel (featuring Pierce Brosnan as Louis XIV) flew McIntyre over to watch some of it in progress.

More photos here, with a link to a YouTube video, that begins with a beat of Vonda McIntyre sitting next to Brosnan.

YAY! Go Vonda!

  1. Wow! I had no idea The Moon and the Sun was being turned into a film. And with Pierce Brosnan, too. Obviously I've been living under a rock. I read her novel years ago and remember enjoying it very much. My French is rather rusty now, but with the help of the French captioning (which is amusingly off in places) I managed to catch a good chunk of what they were saying in the video. Thanks for the heads up. :)

  2. It couldn't have happened to a better person - writer either!

    They actually do some of the shooting in Versailles with lighted candles and everything, Vonda told me today. I wouldn't have thought that to be allowed.

    But when the French do historical period dramas, they do it like no one else, not even the English.

    Still, this is a US production, not a French one. Amazing.

    Love, C.
