Kruger is in Cannes, where her new movie ‘The Shrouds’ is in competition and she shares the screen for a second time [back to back] with Vincent Cassel. The film debuts Monday night June 20.

The actor stepped into the role originally scheduled for Léa Seydoux, when she was working in Paris with Cassel on a French film.

Director David Cronenberg had the script delivered to Kruger at her hotel, and after a conversation between the ‘Inglorious Basterds’ and ‘Walking Dead’ star that lasted many hours, she accepted the role.

"One thing [David] said to me, which I think Vincent says in the film, is that when his wife passed and they put her in a coffin, he had this horrible, horrible urge to jump in with her because he felt like he couldn't bear the thought of her being alone in death," Kruger recalled with The Hollywood Reporter. "[The film is about] what it really means to let go of someone physically."

The plot of ‘The Shrouds’ is fascinating and controversial. Karsh, played by Vincent Cassel in a storyline experienced by director Cronenberg with the death of his wife, is inconsolable as he relives the same experience in the film.

He invents a technology that enables the living to monitor their loved ones in their graves. Kruger plays three roles — the late wife, her sister and a virtual avatar.

Diane Kruger now has all her possessions in one place — New York City — where she lives with her partner Norman Reedus and their daughter Nova Tennessee. They have been formally engaged since 2021.
