I caught word of this film a few weeks ago on the Internet, but at the time I couldn't get my hands on any information. Now a trailer and some stills have appeared for the new animation from France, Renaissance, and it looks very cool.

The trailer is from AICN through Cinema Blend who also carry some stills of the film.

Have a look at the trailer and the stills and come back to let everyone know what you think. I've seen it and I think it looks superbly slick and atmospheric.

The great news is that it's being revoiced with some top notch actors, including Daniel Craig (hey CB, he's British!). I'd have perhaps preferred a subtitled version, but there you go. Here's what the blurb says:

Paris 2054. Ilona Tassueiv, a young and brilliant researcher is violently kidnapped. Avalon, a giant multinational corporation and her employer, wants her found at any cost. Dellenbach, Avalon's CEO, has requested that Officer Bartholomew Karas, a hostage retrieval specialist and the most controversial cop in the force, be in charge of the case...

Intriguing. Any of Filmstalkers French readers seen this, and would you care to tell us just how good it is? It does look delicious.
