26 years after starring in Francois Truffaut’s The Woman Next Door Gerard Depardieu and Fanny Ardant will reteam for the fourth time (after Le Colonel Chabert and Nathalie) in “Hello Goodbye”, a French movie that commenced shooting in the Israeli desert this week.

The movie, directed by Graham Guit, tells of a Jewish couple from France who rush over to Israel to stop their son from marrying a Catholic girl. Israeli co-stars include Lior Ashkenazi (”Late Marriage”, “Walk on Water”) and Sasson Gabai (who was nominated on Saturday for best actor at the European Academy Awards for his Keatonesque role in Eran Kolirin’s The Band’s Visit).
