Producer Jean-Marc Vallée just secured funding for his film, Café de Flore, in Quebec. He has also signed on to produce his second American movie, Lost Girls and Love Hotels, starring Kate Bosworth (21, Superman Returns, Beyond the Sea).
The Hollywood Reporter announced that Bosworth will co-produce the movie with Relativity Media.
Nadia Conners penned the script inspired by the Catherine-Hanrahan novel, published in 2006. Bosworth will play the role of a woman trying to forget her past.
