Where's "OSS 117"?
Hey, whatever happened to a U.S. release of OSS 117: Nest of Spies? The French-made period espionage spoof, directed by Michel Hazanavicius, was a big hit in France after opening there in mid April. It then won the "Golden Needle" audience award for Best Film at the 32nd annual Seattle Film Festival awards in mid June. If there's a U.S. distributor or plans for any U.S. release, I can't find it.

I hear it's part of a series in France, so it might not be picked up out of lack of familiarity with the character in the States. Plus I doubt the production company wants it to flop here like Johnny English.

It's a brilliant movie, and it's gotta have a market in the US. Jean Dujardin gives one of the best comic performances I've seen in a long time. His eyebrows moves, his gun poses and his dances are sight worth seeing. Lots of great visual jokes that would fit in a better Austin Powers movie.
