Kicking Back Comments: While I have no public comment of the reasons for Depardieu's departure from France, I am excited (yes excited) to see this movie. I have great respect for Jules Rimet and am curious to see how they portrait one of the greatest men in The Game.

I expect it will be a straight to BluRay deal, and out in time for the 2014 Jules Rimet World Cup.
