French weather-girl-turned-actress Louise Bourgoin headlines her first fantasy-adventure feature in director/producer Luc Besson’s (The Fifth Element) adaptation of Jacques Tardi’s comic book series The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec.

Adele Blanc-Sec’s many adventures are indeed extraordinary. From what we see in the trailer, this first outing finds the feisty novelist/adventurer battling against a pterodactyl, outwitting corrupt officials and demon-worshipers, releasing the mummy of Patmosis, and soaking her tired nude body in a tub.

Set in Paris before the first World War, The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec was first published as a comic strip in 1976 in the French newspaper Sud-Ouest.

Louise Bourgoin was a weather-girl on Canal + in France.

Luc Besson’s The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec will hit theaters in France on April 14. No word yet on a U.S. release.

When 72-year-old iconic actor David Carradine was found naked and dead in a Bangkok hotel with a rope tied around his neck and balls, most people assumed that he had accidentally killed himself while chasing the greatest orgasm known to man. It seemed like a reasonable explanation … up until now.

While perusing the internet today in search of a sturdy belt and doorknob, I came across new evidence that would suggest that Carradine’s death was no accident.

Take a look:

It’s my belief that Carradine knowingly offed himself in that seedy hotel after reflecting on the career decisions that led him to star in the upcoming SyFy creature-feature Dinocroc Vs. Supergator.

Am I alone in my reasoning? I don’t think so. Syfy has yet to announce an air date for the movie, leading me to believe that the masters for Dinocroc Vs. Supergator have probably been seized by authorities investigating the case.

I hope this finally lays to rest all misinformed concerns over the practice of auto-erotic asphyxiation. It’s perfectly safe, kids!

Director Joe Johnston (Jurassic Park 3) has announced that there will be a fourth Jurassic Park movie and that it will most likely kickoff a new trilogy.

He tells Boxoffice:

There is going to be a Jurassic Park IV. And it’s going to be unlike anything you’ve seen. It breaks away from the first three—it’s essentially the beginning of the second Jurassic Park trilogy. It’s going to be done in a completely different way. That’s pretty much all I can tell you.

If they keep working—and if audiences keep going to them—there’s no reason why there wouldn’t be. We just want to make them justified in their own right. We don’t want to make sequel after sequel just because there’s a market for it. We want to tell different, interesting stories. You don’t want to just sell hamburger.

Johnston first hinted at the possibility of a fourth installment in Steven Spielberg’s dinosaur-adventure series last November when he expressed interest in directing the film. Universal Pictures has yet to officially confirm the project.

In the meantime, you can catch Johnston’s reboot of The Wolfman, starring Benicio del Toro and Emily Blunt, on Feb. 12.

Director Joe Johnston is ready to walk the dinosaur again. The man behind Universal Pictures Jurassic Park 3 has expressed interest in helming the fourth installment in the Jurassic Park saga. Johnston told Ain’t It Cool News:

There is a great story for the fourth one that I would be interested in getting involved with, and it’s nothing like the first three. It sort of takes the franchise off in a completely different direction, which is the only way I would want to get involved. Why would anybody go back to that island? It was hard enough to figure out the second and third reason for them to go, but it would take it off in a whole other trilogy basically, but when it gets to that level it’s sort of about studios and Steven [Spielberg's] thing and who knows. I think we are at that point where we are due for another one if we are going to do it.”

The Jurassic Park films have grossed over $2 billion worldwide. In a 2006 interview with the now defunct fan site StevenSpielbergFilms.com, Jurassic Park producer Steven Spielberg referred to Johnston as the “go-to Jurassic guy,” stressing that the director was “the right guy to do the fourth one.”

Johnston most recent project is Universal’s epic reboot The Wolfman, opening in theaters on Feb. 12, 2010.

Universal Pictures has not released any official news on the development of Jurassic Park 4. But, in the meantime, we can enjoy this wonderful mash-up of JP scenes set to harmonious sounds of Weird Al Yankovich:
