A new trailer for Les Aventures extraordinaires d'Adèle Blanc-Sec


OoH La La! Looks very promising, Luc Besson has made some very entertaining movies.

Might i suggest this....

1959 The Mouse That Roared

http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2118518553/player/

Its a very weird l;ittle film about a small country that declares war on America .... Its actually brilliant....and well worth a hunt... it's got loads of steam punk elements (I personally love the race to the moon and naturally the pleasant cup of tea that they have to celebrate...)

there's 20 pages of threads on this subject (which is gre)at, but I haven't the time toda to check them all so apologies if this is old news...

[Will Howard]

Aaah, yes.  The Duchy of Grand Fenwick, with Peter Sellers playing Tully Bascombe & the Duchess, as well as other parts.  Splendid movie, I saw it when it first was released- I was 12.  The Mouse that Roared was extremely funny to me at that age, & I still enjoy it when I can see it.

[Othniel Cope]

I'd also like to make a case for O borther Where Art though... Ladies and gentlemen a stunning retelling of Homer's Odyssey, set in the southern states during the dpresssion... Steam trains, adventure and a kick ass bluegrass soundtrack... plus tell me the devil ain't wearing goggles!

(we may not like the fact that Micheal Criichton is the world's Best selling  sci-fi writer, but can we we deny it?)

Plus why is hardware not in the llist?... (admittedly it's more deisel punk or even cyber punk, but it still deserves a place if only for the outfts...)

Oops I just realised how authoritarian this all sounds

You sort of answer your own question, there.

Although, this became the "not really steampunk, but" movie thread a looooong time ago.

[Othniel Cope]

Well that makes sense...

[AuroraTheFilm]

I apologize for the shameless self promotion.
But for those interested in steampunk in film (this seemed the appropriate place)
Check out our Steampunk Action Adventure film a few threads down.

Its completely free and the members of the Steampunk community have been a wonderful source of enthusiasm and support for the film.
Hope you enjoy it.

It looks beautiful on Blu Ray.

There's a sequel call Mouse On the Moon in which the Duchy Of Grand Fenwick beat the Russians and Americans to the moon. Peter Sellers is not in this though. The wonderful Margaret Rutherford takes over as the Grand Duchess Gloriana and Ron Moody  replaces Sellers as the Prime Minister. Bernard Cribbins is the male lead but playing a different character from Sellers' in the original.
It also has the added bonus of featuring Terry-Thomas..which is a bonus in any film as far as I'm concerned.

[Othniel Cope]

i think my scrambled brain has remixed both of these films into one... thanks for the update... I have (*cough) aquired a copy of The Mouse That Roared... (pm me if any one would like a link...)

[Captain Blighty]

I'd say that possibly the Wolfman (2010) but definitely the First Men in the Moon (1964). Even the Harry Potter movies have significant steampunky elements.

[Captain Blighty]

Oh, and The First Great Train Robbery (1979)

[Rockula]

I'd say that possibly the Wolfman (2010) but definitely the First Men in the Moon (1964). Even the Harry Potter movies have significant steampunky elements.

Hey Captain Blighty, go to the first post on the first page.

Thelomeris - First Teaser 2011

[HeikeM]

Brilliant steampunk from China - a mystery thriller with a very steampunk feel, even though it is set in some very long ago, obscure time in ancient China. A beautiful film, great story and exciting adventure.

Thelomeris looks intriguing. Well so does Detective Dee actually but I must confess I couldn't see a lot that I felt was Steampunk in that trailer. Just the usual ott fantasy Asian fare really.

Detective Dee was an amazing film, and it had some anachronistic tech, but the setting is around 300 AD if I recall, so it isn't really Steampunk just advanced mechanics.

I highly recommend DD, it was one of the best Fantasy films I've seen in years. It was like Sherlock Holmes meets Wuxia Fantasy (i.e Storm Riders, Forbidden Kingdom, etc).

Thelomeris - First Teaser 2011

When is this coming out?

[Sgt.Whatshisname]

Not steam punk, but a period piece that many of you might be interested in.

Ted Turners 1993 production  
Heart of Darkness  


with John Malkovich playing the role of Kurtz.  For the 3 or 4 people that don't know, Conrad's book, Heart of Darkness was the inspiration behind Apocolypse Now.

Hi everyone!

What do you think about the movie "9"? Can It enters in the list?

This is the trailer: http://youtu.be/OnoJecu9e7c

[Capt. Dirigible]

I'm pretty sure '9' is on the list already..there's certainly at least one thread about it..but I cannot for the life of me locate it at the moment..

[Voltin]

I'd also like to make a case for O borther Where Art though... Ladies and gentlemen a stunning retelling of Homer's Odyssey, set in the southern states during the dpresssion... Steam trains, adventure and a kick ass bluegrass soundtrack... plus tell me the devil ain't wearing goggles!

Oops I just realised how authoritarian this all sounds 

I did mention the film Hardware several posts back as not Steampunk but probably a film that many Steampunks would enjoy.

More of a Post-apocalyptic cyberpunk flick. I am a big fan of Simon Boswell who did most of the music for the film.

[bicyclebuilder]

Has "Hudson Hawk" with Bruce Willis been mentioned?

What about "National Treasure"

[nicki_zero]

Hugo looks interesting:

JUDGE DEE IS NOT STEAMPUNK. Still, he's awesome. Disregard that movie though, the books are superior. Always remember: If Judge Dee's beard is less magnificent than Guan Yu's facial foliage, someone's doing it wrong.
