New Steampunk-ish movie you say? Luc Besson you say?

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec.

The trailer looks good, set in 1912, mummies, a hatched pterodactyl egg and a plucky young reporter in Paris. From a graphic novel apparently.

Link goes straight to trailer.

Looks/sounds interesting. I've seen/heard no other publicity about it, though.

 

[Mr E Train]

That's the first I've heard of it as well. It looks like great fun. I love steampunk, so this is a must-see for me.

Looks very interesting, Besson's films are hit and miss in quality, but usually entertaining. Reminds me a little of the Arsene Lupin film from several years back:

It looks good to me! Luc Besson is one of the most interesting action director/producers working today IMHO. I would rather watch a bad Luc Besson film than a good Michael Bay movie (if such a thing exists).

You got that right.

 

[Chasseur]

Yep,
Bad Luc Besson=entertaining

Good Michael Bay=doesn't exist

 

[Son_of_Atropos]

Good Michael Bay=doesn't exist

Yet his films make so much money.

And Britney sells lot of records.....


I'm looking forward to seeing this, I have really enjoyed Luc Beeson in the past. It would also be wodnerful if Jean Reno turned up in it.... he was hilarious even in Just Visiting, a weaker, if still watchable, Hollywood remake of the French original Les Visiteurs.
