Linklater’s next film will be about the filming of A bout de souffle

Interesting. James Benning just announced he shot a new film that he's calling Breathless, giving little detail except that it has the exact same running time as Godard's film. Benning and Linklater of course have had a friendship that was the subject of Gabe Klinger's 2013 film about them - I wonder if there's any connection between Linklater and Benning's work?

EDIT (2/13): Benning posted this update:

Finished this film last December while convalescing from a week in the hospital. The film's called BREATHLESS, 87 minutes, 2023. It's the same length as Godard's, but with a more real narrative. It will premiere at the Centre Pompidou in Paris during the last week of March. Along with 11 other of my films. Hope to see you there.

Here’s Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg — inspired casting, never would have occurred to me!

There's been posts on social networks about the movie's casting looking for a "teenager boy, between 16 and 18yo in March 2024, looking younger than this, and bearing a physical resemblance with Jean Pierre Léaud at 14".

According to this article and this casting notice (linked in the article), he's also seeking someone who resembles Martin LaSalle in Pickpocket.
