'''Blueberry''' is a French movie adaptation of the popular European comic ''
Blueberry'', by
Jean Giraud (better known as
Moebius) and
Jean-Michel Charlier. Very loosely based on the
graphic novel (the late Charlier's family disowned the film), the movie stars the French star
Vincent Cassel as the title character along with
Michael Madsen and
Juliette Lewis. Although the film is a French production, the language of the western is in English because the story is set in America's
Wild West in the 1870s. Directed by
Jan Kounen, the film was released on DVD in America in November 2004 under the title ''Renegade''.
Plot
In the 1870s, U.S Marshal Mike S. Blueberry tries to stop Wally Blount, the man he believed killed his girlfriend, from getting to a stockpile of gold hidden in Indian territory. On his way, he meets Prosit (played by
Eddie Izzard), a German villain on a persistent mission to find gold in the Superstition Mountains.
