Announced; Since the success of Secret of the Potion (written and co-directed by Alexandre Astier), we have been for a while without any news of the next animated adventures of ;Asterix. After several years of waiting, that's it, we finally know more about the return of the Gaul.
Return to Cleopatra
After the great success of ;Asterix and the Domain of the Gods, then The Secret of the Magic Potion, both co-directed by Louis Clichy and Alexandre Astier, M6 and S.N.D quickly announced that they would be released. the start of work on a new 3D animated film. Except that, after six years of waiting, we still had no official announcement on this new project.However, it must be recognized that since then, current events have of the invented hero by Goscinny and Uderzo was busy to say the least. We have therefore since had the right to; a new live film (The Middle Empire), a new album of the comic strip (L'Iris blanc), Alain Chabat pré actively planning an adaptation of Combat des chefsin series for Netflix, Parc Astérix also offered a new animated short film which is at the heart of the Attention to the Menhir attraction. And finally, a few days ago, it was Canal+ which announced; the start of work on a sixth live-action film (we talk about it in more detail right here). In short, Asterix is not idle and it's not about to end anytime soon. ;stop.
Indeed, M6 has benefited from of the opening of the Cannes festival to finally announce and formalize the new animated adventure of Astérix and Obélix at the cinema:Asterix and the Kingdom of Nubia. The title is in itself already quite a program, since he already announces two very important elements. First of all, as for The Secret of the Magic Potion, it will be a new story never before published in comics, and above all, Asterix will be back in a region close to Egypt.It is therefore not impossible that the film could allow the return of characters from Asterix and Cleopatra, such as the Egyptian queen herself, the cruel Amonbofis or even the cult character from Numérobis.
The first animated Asterix post-Alexandre Astier
As he announced; from the promotion of Secret of the Magic Potion, Alexandre Astier, but also Louis Clichy, will not be back nor at the end of the year. neither writing nor the achievement. M6 and S.N.D have therefore this time entrusted the scenario at hand Matthieu Delaporte & Alexandre de la Patellière (The First Name and TheCount of Monte Cristo) andthe realization at a glance Alexandre Heboyan (Mune: The Guardian of the Moon).
A priori the film should be aesthetically in the vein of the two previous ;previous feature films.In fact, even if at first glance. At this stage we do not know who will take over the voice of Asterix between Jean-Claude Donda (Roger Carel's successor on numerous projects) or Christian Clavier (who dubbed the character in The Secret of the Magic Potion< /em>), we can legitimately believe/hope that the actor Guillaume Briat (Kaamelott) will reprise his role of Obélix which he embodies all the same on almost all of them. Asterix projects (animated, video games, attractions, audiobooks, etc.) since 2014 and the release of Domaine of the Gods. Guillaume Briat had also been validated by Uderzo him même.
