Baz Luhrmann is making a film about Joan of Arc<\/h2>\n\n

Well-known for his theatrical, romantic, and flamboyant universe in Romeo + Juliet<\/em> <\/strong>(1996), Moulin Rouge!<\/em> <\/strong>(2001), and The Great Gatsby<\/em><\/strong> (2013), director Baz Luhrmann<\/strong><\/a> seems ready to take on one of the most emblematic figures in French history – Joan of Arc.<\/p>\n\n

Nicknamed \u201cthe Maid of Orl\u00e9ans\u201d and burned at the stake in 1431, this nearly mystical female figure, whose life has remained shrouded in mystery to this day, has already been portrayed many times in cinema. First appearing at the dawn of the seventh art in a short film by Georges M\u00e9li\u00e8s<\/strong> in 1900, Joan of Arc later became the protagonist of films directed by great minds, like Victor Fleming<\/strong>, Roberto Rossellini<\/strong>, Robert Bresson<\/strong>, and Jacques Rivette<\/strong>.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

\"Actress\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>

Among the many actresses who have had the opportunity to portray this role, one truly left a lasting impression on the big screen. With her angular face, both fierce and angelic, Milla Jovovich<\/strong>, sporting a bowl cut and clad in a heavy armour, delivered a powerful performance under the direction of Luc Besson<\/strong> in the intense The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc<\/em><\/strong> (1999).<\/p><\/p>\n\n

So, who could possibly succeed her and live up to such a formidable figure\u00a0 in Baz Luhrmann\u2019s upcoming film titled Jehanne d\u2019Arc<\/em><\/strong>? That\u2019s the question currently on everyone\u2019s lips. The name of 22-year-old American actress and Gen Z icon Jenna Ortega<\/strong><\/a> had been mentioned several times.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Perfectly at ease in strange, dark roles, such as Wednesday Addams<\/strong> in the Netflix series Wednesday<\/em><\/strong><\/a> or Astrid Deetz in Tim Burton\u2019s latest film Beetlejuice Beetlejuice<\/em><\/a><\/strong> (2024), Jenna Ortega<\/strong><\/a> reportedly expressed a fascination with the life of Joanof Arc, thus fueling speculation about her potential involvement in this anticipated project. But it appears that the role will ultimately go to British actress Isla Johnston<\/strong> (The Queen\u2019s Gambit<\/em>, Invasion<\/em>, The Carpenter\u2019s Son<\/em>), who is set to star in the film.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Romain Gavras draws his inspiration from the historical figure for Sacrifice<\/em><\/h2><\/h2>\n\n

In addition to Baz Luhrmann\u2019s project, Romain Gavras<\/strong> is currently working on a peculiar film, titled Sacrifice<\/em>, starring Anya Taylor-Joy<\/strong><\/a>, Charli xcx<\/strong>, and Salma Hayek<\/strong>, and said to inspired from Joan of Arc too. The premise? \u201cA charity gala is disrupted by the attack of a violent group of radicals on a mysterious quest to fulfill a prophecy<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

But Joan of Arc has also taken to the stage. From January 29th to February 16th, 2025, at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Bouffes du Nord<\/strong>, actress Judith Chemla<\/strong> reenacted the heroine’s 1431 trial. In a press release, the actress stated: \u201cJoan of Arc\u2019s words during her trial are an extraordinary testament to her freedom of speech, defiance, strength and humour in the face of judges, who saw her as nothing more than a manipulator and a liar<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Joan of Arc, icon of the Castlecore trend<\/h2>\n\n

Considered by some as one of the first feminist and queer icons in history, Joan of Arc<\/strong>, born in 1412, still symbolizes a break from outdated norms and a blurring of boundaries between genders. An attitude that led her contemporaries to brand her a dangerous witch and threat to society. She was eventually burned at the stake for heresy. But, she was also a young woman of peasant origins, who experienced a meteoric rise. Thanks to her bravery and strength, she led French troops to victory against the army of England and lifted the Siege of Orl\u00e9ans, thus changing the course of the Hundred Years\u2019 War.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

This fearless and determined warrior appear quite modern thanks to the nature of her fight. As the true badass she is, Joan of Arc resonates with a post-#MeToo<\/strong> era, one where women are speaking out and relentlessly fighting back in a world still largely ruled by patriarchy.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

It is also worth noting that her androgynous look and short haircut never go out of style. The key elements of her armour can even be seen in Paco Rabanne<\/strong>‘s designs. Pinterest forecasted the Castlecore trend for 2025, reviving all things medieval, from ruby-studded vintage rings to chainmail. And Joan of Arc could very well be the ultimate representative of this aesthetic.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

\"Zendaya.\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button>

A major influence in pop culture, from Zendaya to Rosal\u00eda<\/h2>\n\n

In recent years, many artists have drawn inspiration from this figure. Zendaya<\/strong> at the 2018 Met Gala, Chlo\u00eb Sevigny<\/strong> for a Halloween party in 2007 or\u00a0Fiona Apple. More recently, singer Ang\u00e8le<\/strong><\/a> appeared in an imposing armour, holding a sword in her hands, for the cover of Photo<\/em> magazine, shot by photographer Mathieu C\u00e9sar<\/strong> in October 2024.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

American singer Chappell Roa<\/a>n<\/strong> also channeled Joan of Arc during her performance at the MTV VMAs<\/strong><\/a> in September 2024. Set against a stage on fire, the medieval-themed show of the queer artist made a lasting impression.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

And who could forget the stunning opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games<\/strong><\/a>? After a three-hour show and the parade of athletes from around the world, a rider on a silver horse emerged from the crowd to bring the Olympic flag to the Trocad\u00e9ro<\/strong>. A symbol of France and freedom, she was dressed by young designer Jeanne Friot<\/strong> in a glittering suit of armour. A beautiful tribute to the Maid of Orl\u00e9ans, one you can now make your own, as the rider\u2019s boots designed by Both and Jeanne Friot are now on sale since January 2025.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

Lastly, singer Rosal\u00eda<\/strong> dedicates a track sang in French to Joan of Arc. Titled Jeanne<\/em>, it is part of her new album Lux<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, a record centred around hagiographies, scheduled for release on November 7th, 2025. Also in November, a previously unpublished work by <\/span>Monique Wittig<\/strong> has been published. Titled <\/span>Joan of Arc, or rather Jeanne Romm\u00e9e, because in my country girls take their mother\u2019s name<\/em>, it portrays the heroine in a more feminist light, as a young woman secretly learning history, strategy, and how to wield a sword.<\/span><\/p><\/p>\n\n
