NATACHA in the big screen: What the...?

This is been a dreamlike project to François Walthéry for decades--incorporating his most famous creation, the air hostess Natacha in another medium than the comics of old. Now, the movie poster is finally revealed and even the very godawful Dupuis' website has pull the new picture's announcement:

Here, this is NOT if it worth to be made. This is more if the French filmmakers have learned from their past mistakes. If the last Three Musketeers adaptation with a very feminist and woke attitude has plummeted hard to the French box-office, imagine this...

And there's the youths and also the ones from my generation, who have mostly never read the original Walthéry's works when the older issues and re-issues went out-of-print in years. (I wonder how he's going to be paid for this)

No mention that many, I mean, MANY adaptations of old comics series never reached the high-status of its original source materials. Like bad actings, weak plots, unfocused pacing, forced messages, etc. If all the Asterix or the fewer Lucky Luke or Tintin were able to be known overseas, well not every of these have this same chance.

This is like when I was overwhelmed the first time I seen the Disney's Inspector Gadget movie poster. A cartoon movie on live-action from a lovable cartoon series that never fully known how to displayed scripts that made sense.

The odd feeling that Natacha become a live-action character become now, a nightmare, not only to the French cinema that doing well in last years (Un p'tit truc en plus and Emilia Perez are perfect example, althought the latter went in some serious criticism in current time) but for an artform that is supplying to mere Saturday-Morning topical issues and wokism.

It made me ask if TF1, Touzla-Madar, Pégurier, Djian and Fayer have actually read the original series or having contacted Walthéry for this. Because Natacha for my generation, have more ressemblance to Disney's hit series Kim Possible. If this are going to be another utter wreck like the 2019s KP live-action film was, this going to be another BD adaptation that trying too hard to be relevant or cool for modern-day audience but sounds awkward when you are enough mature to known how the issues of real-life have to work.

The new movie hit French theaters by April 2th 2025. Not sure that it's going to have a North America release, considering the fewer recognition of Walthéry and his work out of its own land.
