In it, Paradis plays a cool and collected woman about to be married who meets a romantic rogue (Romain Duris) hired by her father to seduce her and break up the wedding. She told Movieline how she lobbied to make the script more romantic, how she manages to balance all her separate careers, and why she didn’t end up in the Pirates of the Caribbean role that sounded tailor-made for her.

I might have been the only person to stop and glance at it at all — more out of professional curiosity than any prurient interest. And then, overnight, comes this headline on our sister site Deadline: “Sony Pic Billboards Offer ‘Virgin Helpline’ And Cause Nationwide Controversy.” Er, really?
