I've been hearing rumblings about the upcoming film adaptation of Belgian comic series Largo Winch for a good while now, those in the know all convinced that this could be one of the big titles of the coming year. And based on the freshly released trailer I must say that I'm inclined to agree.

Based on the comics by Phillippe Franck and Jean Van Hamme the story revolves around a young man, adopted by a hugely wealthy businessman as a child. When his adoptive father is murdered the adopted boy - Largo, now a grown man - must take action to discover his father's killers and protect his estate. As envisioned by director Jerome Salle this is slick and stylish action-adventure stuff, hyper stylized action on the same international scale as the Bond films but with the rough edges of the current incarnation buffed off. And did I say international? With Kristin Scott Thomas,, Karel Roden, Gilbert Melki and Benedict Wong scattered throughout the extensive cast it's pretty safe to say that there will ba a familiar face or two tucked in there for just about everybody.
