Les Aventures Extraordinaires D’Adèle Blanc-Sec

I’ve been ridiculously busy of late but I just had to pause for breath and post a mention of the latest Luc Besson cinematic offering. I am so busting my pants to see this film. Rob did a detailed blog post about it a while back on Undead Backbrain but here’s the gist:

Luc Besson of The Fifth Element, The Professional and La Femme Nikita fame is currently in post-production of the first film in a planned trilogy, based on the adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec, a female journalist in the 1920s (and beyond). The lovely and vivacious Adèle is the creation of comic artist Jacques Tardi and in the course of her extraordinary adventures she isn’t averse to dealing with reanimated mummies, rampant dinosaurs, demons from hell and other super-normal conspiracies.

I can’t wait. I really can’t.
