Luc Besson’s Les Aventures Extraordinaires D’Ad\u00e8le Blanc-Sec<\/strong> is definitely one of the most anticipated releases of 2010. It’s Indiana-Jonesish qualities, and the peculiarly French idiosyncracies that will inevitably be brought to the production by Besson and the story’s original source<\/a>, it promises to set a new standard for classy supernatural-themed period adventure tales.<\/p>\n

The Backbrain has been obsessing about it for some time, though we’re not likely to see it for a while yet. It premiered at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival on 9 April and was due to open theatrically in Belgium, France and the French-speaking region of Switzerland on 14 April, but there has been no word on a release in the English-speaking world yet (that I’ve heard of anyway).<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, though there have been a plethora of posters for the film released, the poster below is said to be the final, official one — emphasising, as it does, many of the film’s central attractions — Egypt, pterodactyl, assorted eccentric characters and in particular Louise Bourgoin:<\/p>\n

Personally, I would have added the mummy that inhabits the film’s narrative (see the first clip below).<\/p>\n
