Zeta-Jones took to Instagram on Feb. 1 to share a snap of a street in Paris decked out in a red flower art display ahead of Valentine’s Day. The display promoted love and appreciation ahead of the holiday, with signs that read “Elle m’aime” and “Il m’aime,” meaning, “She loves me” and “He loves me.”
“Paris….. thank you. I have been working away in the city of light. What a cast and crew♥️♥️♥️,” wrote Zeta-Jones in the caption. She didn’t specify what filming project she was talking about, but many fans assumed it was her new movie, which focuses on the art-selling world.

Fans shared support for the actress, such as one who wrote the kind message, “I’m glad you had a marvelous time on the set of ‘The Gallerist’ in dreamy Paris, the City of Love (and Light): enjoy your rest, Catherine. 💙 ✨ 🌹.”
“It’s beautiful like you, dear!🤍🤍,” said another fan, while a third wrote, “Wow What a Way to Work looks Beautiful🌹.”
Many more shared their excitement about her upcoming film, while a few noted how long it had been since Zeta-Jones posted on Instagram, saying, “Finally you showed up girl 🙌🙌🙌,” and, “Miss youuu! Don’t stop posting PLISSS.”
Zeta-Jones recently revealed that The Gallerist is her first foray into indie films, telling Deadline at Red Sea Studio, “It’s interesting because I’m starting to get what I always desired as a younger actor, which are some indie movie proposals.”
“I’ve never done the indie film route, so I’m really excited about that because it’s a collaboration which is not an actor for hire,” she went on. “Everyone is just thrown into this very short, tight schedule and budget, usually, and we’re all bringing our A-game to it.”
The Gallerist doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s a star-studded movie, with Sterling K. Brown, Natalie Portman and Zeta-Jones’ Wednesday co-star Jenna Ortega featuring as just a few other members of the cast.
