There, they meet Monique La Roche (played by Cécile De France), a struggling artist who decides to tag along on their trip. Soon, he and Passepartout set off for Paris, where they will begin their journey. After a heated debate, Kelvin jokingly states that Fogg should attempt to traverse the globe in 80 days-and Fogg accepts this challenge. When Fogg ventures to the Royal Academy of Science to report his latest findings, he's belittled by the cocky Lord Kelvin (played by Jim Broadbent). As Fogg's current "Valet" (Test Subject) quits, Passepartout lands in Fogg's garden and volunteers for the job, as it's a convenient way to get away from the police who are pursuing him. Secondly, we meet Phileas Fogg (played by Steve Coogan), an inventor who seems obsessed with creating new and faster modes of transportation. First, we see a Chinese man named Passepartout (played by Jackie Chan) fleeing from the Bank of England, which has just been robbed. As the 2004 film adaptation of Around the World in Eighty Days opens, two significant events happen.
