That’s Venus in Fur , not Venus in Furs , though the two are related. The singular SKINsation under discussion is by playwright David Ives , fresh off a successful Broadway run starring Nina Arianda (who won a Tony Award for her performance) as a young actress who capitalizes on her apparent naivete and desperation to seduce the director of an erotic play based on the masochist masterpiece. Now Roman Polanski has signed on to turn the play into a French-language film; as the world’s most famous dirty old man (to put it mildly) we can totally see how the idea of a young woman taking advantage of a powerful man would appeal to Polanski. But in an interesting twist, he has cast his 46-year-old wife Emmanuelle Seigner (above) (who met Polanski when she was 17, by the way) as the female lead of the film and 29-year-old The Dreamers (2003) star Louis Garrell in the male lead. Will we see the dynamics reversed as a young actor seduces a powerful older woman? Time will tell, but either way it’s bound to please (wink, wink).
