The Taste of Tea
Belgian Comic Adaptation LARGO WINCH Trailerized.
Posted by Todd Brown at 5:11pm.
Posted in Trailer Alerts , Action, Continental Europe & Russia.
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.
Check the trailer out in the Twitch Player below the break!

Largo Winch was also a short-lived TV show, a Canada-Germany-Belgium-US-France coproduction.

I enhance for all the fan of Largo Winch, there is a documentary very interresting about the creation of the book « Les Trois yeux des gardiens du Tao».
A French cinematographic team has followed Jean Van Hamme and Philippe Francq during the creation of the 15th tome of the comic ,since the first idea of scenario ,to the print , passing by preview at Hong Kong.
This documentary is available in VOD french and english subtitled version on the site : - http://largowinch-ledoc.com.
