unpublished video shared by the actor on Instagram

This Sunday, September 25, it’s a day of celebration for lovers of Gallic heroes! Guillaume Canet has posted the first teaser for his feature film: “Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Empire” which is scheduled for theatrical release on 1^er February 2023. A blockbuster, with an estimated budget of 65 million euros, freely inspired by the work of creators René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo, which this time is not directly copied from an existing comic . Unlike other films by Alain Chabat or Thomas Langmann, this is an unpublished story co-written by Guillaume Canet and the creators of “Tuche”, Philippe Mechelen and Julien Hervé. A new adventure for the Gauls which will take them to the borders of China… where the daughter of Emperor Han Xuandi who, in an attempt to escape the clutches of a renegade prince, fled to Gaul to ask help to Asterix and Obelix. Incarnated by the director himself and his true friend in life, Gilles Lellouche.

“A real great adventure film, epic, with sumptuous sets and costumes”
And to accompany this great project, Guillaume Canet did not hesitate to surround himself with a luxury cast for the main roles: Vincent Cassel in César, Marion Cotillard for Cléopâtre, Angèle in Falbala, Jérôme Commandeur for Abraracourcix, Pierre Richard ideal in Panoramix or even Philippe Katerine for the bard Assurancetourix. But other actors complete the list such as Jonathan Cohen, José Garcia, Franck Gastambide, Ramzy Bedia, footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic, YouTubers McFly and Carlito and rapper Orelsan and Matthieu Chedid, who signs the soundtrack, and also plays a role. .

An ambitious project which, we hope, will live up to the expectations of the public and the promises of Guillaume Canet who announced to the “Journal du Dimanche”: “I know that we can do something crazy and that we see few in France: a truly great adventure film, epic, with sumptuous sets and costumes.” For now, the teaser already promises a nice moment of family entertainment. That Guillaume will surely only share remotely with his ex Marion Cotillard, who is filming in the United States.
