Europacorp has unveiled the official poster for Luc Besson's Les Aventures Extraordinaires D'Adèle Blanc-Sec (translated as The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec), featuring Louise Bourgoin who plays the feisty heroine, going face to face with a pterodactyl.  Incase your wondering, the tagline is translated as "one of them will lose their feathers".
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...

Set in the carefree world before World War I, Adèle Blanc-Sec's adventures see the brave young woman fearlessly battling crooks, corrupt politicians, demon worshippers and mad scientists. Legendary cartoonist Jacques Tardi's original stories perfectly recreate the intrigue, romance and excitement of one of the most tumultuous periods in history.

Adapted and directed by Luc Besson (Arthur and the Minimoys, The Fifth Element, The Professional), Adèle's exhilarating, funny and fabulous adventures will be one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of 2010.
The theatrical release date in France is on April 14th.  You'll find a large version of the poster in our gallery below.
