Sorry, no subtitled trailer as of yet, but it does look pretty interesting I think..certainly strange! And Louise Bourgoin who plays Adele is all kinds of lovely. I had never heard of the comic until thsi movie was announced as going into development last year..as I'm pretty sure many on here won't have. So here is a synopsis..

The adventures, set in Paris in the years before and after World War I, revolve around the protagonist Adèle Blanc-Sec. A cynical heroine, she is initially a novelist of popular fiction, who turns to investigative journalism as her research and subsequent adventures reveal further details of the mystical world of crime. Themes of the occult, corruption, official incompetence, and the dangers of patriotism suffuse the series. One interesting feature is the hiatus which separates Adèle's first exploits, taking place in 1910s Paris, from later ones, instead set in the post-WWI milieu. The separation is explained with her having been cryogenically hibernated following a grave injury. The expedient was deemed necessary by Tardi to avoid her entanglement in the First World War. In an interview he declared: "Her feisty nature made it impossible to provide her with a place in the war. She would not have been allowed to fight, and could no more have settled for being a nurse, than she could have remained home rolling bandages".



Mmm. No mention of that Pterodactyl then! Anyway, the film goes on release in France on April 14th, 2010. Clicking on the link below brings you to the official English language website.

Seems pretty funny and bad I'll wait for it in the $10 bin at Walmart. The CGI looks god awful, almost made G.I. Joe's look good...almost.

I had that book when I was a kid...wow!...this is weird and super fun, I'm sure you guy will like it. from what I see the trailers are really close to the book. Characters seem to be cartoony enough but not as much as lucky luke and asterix (3 was a major flop, while 1 and 2 were really entertaining). But back on Adele, i'm sure it is going to be a drift of fresh air. :)
