Stunning international film star Audrey Tautou has been tabbed to play visionary fashion icon Coco Chanel in a new French movie. The slight, dark-haired star of The Da Vinci Code will play the role of Chanel in a tale that deals with her like before fame and notoriety.

Chanel was a pioneering force in French fashion design and the only person in her field to be named on Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of the 20th century.

French director Anne Fontaine told Le Film Francais movie journal about the project.

''I wanted to follow the interior path of this young woman who was poor, without education, but who had an uncommon personality that was ahead of her time,'' Fontaine said Saturday. Shooting will start in early 2008.

Besides Fontaine's film, two other Coco Chanel projects are in the works. Director Daniele Thompson is in the early stages of a biopic, and William Friedkin (The Exorcist) is working on a film about Chanel's relationship with composer Igor Stravinsky.

Actress Marina Hands, who played the title role in a recent French adaptation of D.H. Lawrence's ''Lady Chatterley's Lover,'' is set to star in Friedkin's film.
