From First Showing .net comes the story that Luc Besson has returned to directing!
The project he chose is one called Les Aventures Extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec, or Adele Blanc-Sec for short, based on a series of French comic books from the 1970s. Apparently he's already finished shooting and is in post-production on the project, aiming for a release in France next April. It's described as a "a little bit Indiana Jones, a little bit Tintin and a little bit Hellboy" and thankfully SlashFilm has discovered the first few new photos from it.
In the late 1980's and early 1990's. I only had two favourite directors. Ridley Scott and Luc Besson. Besson fell from grace with 'The Messenger', and I hope this news is good news and not a George Lucasstyle ascent into the dizzy heights of big budge mediocrity.
It sounds good (except possibly that bit about Hellboy)
...but almost too good to be true.
