A film adaptation of the Brigadier Gerard adventures, written by Arthur Conan Doyle is in the pipeline. “The Adventures of Brigadier Gerard”, with Steve Carell attached to play the title-role, is preparing for a spring 2009 production start. The books recount the various adventures of Brigadier Gerard, one of Napoleon's bravest but also vainest soldiers, and provide a satirical view of both the English view of the French as well as a baffled Frenchman's view of English manners and traditions.
