In the Electric Mist (French title: Dans la brume électrique) is a 2009 French/American mystery drama film directed by Bertrand Tavernier, and written by Jerzy Kromolowski and Mary Olson-Kromolowski based on the novel In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead by James Lee Burke; it stars Tommy Lee Jones in the lead role of Louisiana police detective Dave Robicheaux.[2]
The film has only been released in Europe and Asia. In the US it has been shown just twice, and this in author Burke's hometown of New Iberia, Louisiana. A trimmed-down version (102:00 minutes NTSC), cut by the studio, was released direct-to-DVD in the United States.[3] A longer director's cut version (112:23 minutes) was released in the rest of the world[4] and premiered at the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival.[5] In 2009, the director's cut version won the Grand Prix at the first "Festival International du Film Policier de Beaune", which is the continuation of the "Festival du Film Policier de Cognac."[6] It opened on 15 April 2009 in France to positive reviews,[7] while reviews for the American version were mostly positive (64% on Rotten Tomatoes).[8]
In December 2009, Tavernier released a book titled Pas à Pas dans la Brume Électrique (Step by Step into the Electric Mist), which is a day-by-day account of the shooting of this movie.[9]
In the Electric Mist is a sequel to 1996's Heaven's Prisoners, also adapted from a Burke novel. The character of Dave Robicheaux at that time was an ex-homicide detective in the swamplands of Louisiana, and was portrayed by Alec Baldwin.
The film marked the acting debut of musician Buddy Guy as Sam "Hogman" Patin.[10]
