Oscar Winner Marion Cotillard To Sing Franz Ferdinand Song In Dior Commercial

Scottish rockers Franz Ferdinand are going upscale: they're set to provide the soundtrack for a new advertising campaign for high-end fashion house Dior.

The band wrote a track called "The Eyes Of Mars" that will appear in a television commercial for the Dior fashion line. The song features vocals from Oscar winner Marion Cotillard. She won a best actress Academy Award in 2008 for her role as Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose. Cotillard was last seen alongside Daniel Day-Lewis in Rob Marshall's star-studded musical Nine and also acts as the face for the French brand.

The commercial is for Lady Dior handbags and has Cotillard acting as working girl by day and lounge singer by night. The track can be heard here.
