Video: ‘Amelie’ Screen Test - Audrey Tautou
Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who discovered upstart actress Audrey Tautou on a poster for 1999’s Venus Beauty Institute while walking the streets of Paris, brought her in for a screen test after Emily Watson, who the starring role was originally intended for, turned it down:
“When I did the test, immediately I knew. Like a sportsman, she has a great sense of timing. The best part — she can step into another persona, and she is so young. It was a revelation.” - S.F. Chronicle
