In short that’s the setting of the hugely popular comic series ‘Largo Winch’. It’s creator Jean Van Hamme, one of the most succesful scenario writers of the moment (Largo Winch, Thorgal, XIII,…).

 

Over 10 million copies sold, popular Largo games made by Ubisoft, a great TV-series with model/actor Paolo Seganti in the leading role and now finally… the movie! To be released 17 December 2008.

 

Unfortunately not a huge Hollywood production, but still a promising French production. The trailer is definately worth a look!
