The Extraordinary Adventures of Ad%C3%A8le Blanc Sec (film)

The Extraordinary Adventures of Adle BlancSec French Les Aventures extraordinaires dAdle BlancSec , released as Adle Rise of the Mummy in Malaysia and Singapore, is a 2010 French fantasy adventure feature film written and directed by Luc Besson. It is loosely based on the comic book series of the same name by Jacques Tardi and, as in the comic, follows the eponymous writer and a number of recurring side characters in a succession of farfetched incidents in 1910s Paris and beyond, in this episode revolving around parapsychology and ultraadvanced Ancient Egyptian technology, which both pastiche and subvert adventure and speculative fiction of the period. The primarily liveaction film, shot in Super 35, incorporates much use of computer animation to portray its fanciful elements and contemporary action film special and visual effects within the form of the olderstyle adventure films they have largely superseded.

While experimenting with the telepathic techniques he has been researching, Professor Esprandieu hatches a 136 million yearold pterosaur egg within the Galerie de palontologie et danatomie compare, resulting in the death of a former prefect scandalously sharing a taxicab with a Moulin rouge showgirl which though witnessed only by the thendrunk Choupard sparks an epidemic of claimed sightings of the creature. The President of France orders the case be considered of utmost urgency by the National Police, only for it to be handed down to the bumbling Inspector Albert Caponi.Adle BlancSec, a journalist and travel writer of some fame, finds herself involved after returning from Egypt, where she was searching for Ramesses IIs mummified doctorphysician Patmosis. She wants to revive the mummy with the help of Esprandieu so the doctor can save her sister Agathe, who is comatose following an unfortunate tennis incident involving a hatpin. After a brief struggle with her nemesis, the mysterious Professor Dieuleveult, she retrieves the mummy and returns home. Her mission is complicated further by Esperandieu being on death row, having been blamed for the pterosaurs attacks, in lieu of Inspector Caponi and celebrity big game hunter Justin de SaintHubert having any success in taking down the beast itself. Andrej Zborowski, a researcher at the Jardin des Plantes who is enamored with Adle, is able to lure the pterosaur into hiding. Adle, riding the pterosaur, rescues Esperandieu moments before his execution. ........
