Adam Driver sings Sparks in an intimate position with Marion Cotillard in Annette
Adam Driver's Annette costar Marion Cotillard said she and the actor ended up in "complicated positions"
Film News Adam Driver
Do you get oddly turned on when you watch Adam Driver punch a wall in Marriage Story even though his character clearly needs therapy? Do you find yourself falling for Kylo Ren’s sad boy schtick even though he killed his dad? Did you see that picture of Driver and Lady Gaga on the set of House Of Gucci and think “Daddy”? Did you sit through multiple seasons of Girls because you thought that tall guy was nice to watch onscreen? If none of that applies to you, well then, too bad! But if it does, then there’s great news for you and anyone else who still intensely thirsts over Driver despite his insistence on playing romantically unappealing characters.
Marion Cotillard and Adam Driver star in the upcoming dramedy musical Annette, and while Driver’s fans were getting excited to hear him sing again, there’s one important thing you need to know: Driver will sing Sparks songs while mimicking giving head. In an interview with Insider, Cotillard explains, “We found ourselves singing in very complicated positions, doing back-crawling or mimicking cunnilingus; acrobatic positions that technically modify your song [the way you sing].”
The addition of any scene involving Driver eating someone out is obviously welcomed from those of us who are part of the Adam Driver Thirst Club, but don’t expect this to be a traditional love story. This movie marks director Leos Carax’s first English-language film, and it is a musical—soundtracked by ‘80s group Sparks—about a stand-up comedian and world-renowned opera singer who fall in love. However, the birth of their daughter, Annette, brings mysterious trouble. We don’t know exactly what kind of chaos Annette’s birth causes, but from the trailer it looks like Driver’s character gets really intense. The film makes its premiere tonight at Cannes, and it’s getting a limited theatrical release in the United States on August 6. Annette will then be available stream on Amazon Prime Video starting on August 20.

Yeah, I also can’t read anyone thirsting after Driver without mentally going there as well, especially when there’s a list involved. I read the entire first paragraph in Oliver’s voice.
John Oliver needs to change his pants.
Driver will sing Sparks songs while mimicking giving head.
“80’s group Sparks?” The band that is still around and, in fact, put out a fantastic record just last year? The band about which Edgar Wright just made a documentary? That “80’s group?”
Yes, the 80s group that you and Edgar Wright remembered beyond 1989.THAT 80s group.
Right?!? That’s literally what I came here to say!
Years active 1969–presenttotally an 80’s band. This site fucking sucks at getting things right, because they have no reason to.
Correct response.The only person who could say it better is Edith Piaf
Not only are they still around, but they formed in 1969.
Nice
Also the band who released their first album in 1972 and put out influential albums like “Kimono my House” and were referenced by Paul McCartney in the music video for Coming Up. Fifty years of a career which influenced a ton of artists reduced to a single decade.
If you thought the A in AV club stood for Audio, you are on the wrong website.
Remember when this site actually covered music?Look at me being wistful for the pre-herb days…
I ever so do miss the Justify Your Existence interviews. I had a college town record store that would special order non-major label albums (or CDs for my broke ass) and those blurbs caught me on a bunch of terrific bands I would have otherwise never known of.
Look, anything outside of the writer’s direct knowledge gets maybe a cursory glance at the google results page. Maybe.
They also released their first album in the early 70s.
The Mael brothers (AKA Sparks, a band that has put out 26 albums over 50 years) also wrote the screenplay to Annette. FFS, this is insane.
Sparks started in the ‘60s, put out a ton of excellent records in the ‘70s, some good ones in the ‘80s, some not-so-good ones in the ‘90s, and some very good ones in the ‘00s and ‘10s. VERY reductive (and inaccurate) characterization!
Sparks are a 1970’s to 2020’s group, not just an 80’s group and I hope they become a 2030’s group!
The only thing more of a turn on than humor – is – I forget. This is hot.
While Driver sings while going down on Cotillard, she will be saying that jet fuel can’t melt steel beams and that Kubrick filmed the moon landing
even though he killed his dad*?*and committed multiple genocidesEasy to forget, but I think important enough to mention, especially in a juxtaposition like this one.
And worse of all, didn’t dress professionally when Force contacting Rey in The Last Jedi. He’ll get a stern warning from HR about that, I’m sure! Shirts are not optional!
Certainly a fauxpas on par with those other things!
I’m giving him a pass on that one, because, holy crap.
Sounds like it’s weird just to be weird, but we’ll call it “art”. Not to my taste, but I’m sure the RISD crowd will go nuts.
sasha banks told me that the great todd rundgren found and produced these sparks and then came back 50 year later and did another maybe he can revive the tubes sasha says this todd guy can sing philly white boy soul too
So you’re saying it’s just like my Kylo Ren/Chewbacca fan fic?
dramedy musical+Adam Driver=no thank u
So he sings the alphabet song?
Yes please.
Spoiler Alert!
Will be interesting to see Marion Cotillard as a stand up comedian.
Sometimes I doubt Adam’s commitment to Sparks motion.
John Oliver is going to lose it over this.
I hope Driver wasn’t planning on trying out for the next Batman reboot.
Underrated comment
Sparks is NOT an 80’s group. WTFFFFFF
