Trailer for Luc Besson's Adèle Blanc-Sec

February 5, 2010

Allocine has premiered the new trailer for producer/director/writer Luc Besson's new adventure film, The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec, opening in France and Belgium on April 14th. Louise Bourgoin, Mathieu Amalric, Jean-Paul Rouve, Gilles Lellouche, Frédérique Bel and Gerard Chaillou star in the film that is described as follows:

The year is 1912. Adèle Blanc-Sec, an intrepid young reporter, will go to any lengths to achieve her aims, even sailing to Egypt to tackle mummies of all shapes and sizes.

Meanwhile, in Paris, it's panic stations! A 136 million-year-old pterodactyl egg on a shelf in the natural history museum has mysteriously hatched, and the bird subjects the city to a reign of terror from the skies.

But nothing fazes Adèle Blanc-Sec, whose adventures reveal many more extraordinary surprises...

Interesting. It has that Terry Gilliam panache and whimsy, but with Luc Besson's delivery and charm. Yes, I would like to know more.

Luc Besson is the best. I can't wait for this one to make its way overseas.

This is how you should make a trailer! Hollywood trailers allways lays out the whole story, so you basically don't need to see the movie. Here you are curious for more!

Other than the fact that the main character is female, it looks like Besson beat Spielberg and Jackson to the punch with a Tintin movie. Looks great.

It looks really good except I don't speak foreign and have no idea what's being said. Add in some subtitles and I want to see this movie.

Besson is one of my favorite directors. I realize he wants to make movies for his homland, but when is he going to ocme out with another English language release? It's his English language films that put him on the map (La Femme Nikita notwithstanding).

Okay, now I know someone out there understands what the guy said at the end of the trailer. How 'bout it?

At the end of the trailer it goes:
- Guys, I expect from you that you keep this case secret.
- Oh sure, sure...
- Not a word to the press, right?
