...Depardieu), a loyal and resourceful henchman (Dupuis), a tough-n-sexy babe (de France) to play Bonnie to his Clyde. And some political relevance: Mesrine questioned insurgents while serving his Army hitch in the Algerian uprising.

A teaser for The Fatties: Fart 2 seems awfully Eddie Murphy, with one comic playing multiple members of a morbidly obese family, yet the actor under all that latex could well be Jack Black. Finally, a preview...
