Screen Daily reports that France's latest comic book character to make a jump from the page to the screen will be Rene Goscinny's Iznogoud.

Patrick Braoude will direct a cast that could include comedian Michael Youn and beloved comic actor Jacques Villeret.

The film will begin shooting in early 2004. Canal Plus graduates Eric and Ramzy could also round out casting.

Goscinny, who passed away in 1997, was also the mastermind behind the Asterix and Lucky Luke comic series.
