DESCRIPTION:
(from Netflix's press release, March 2021) I'm excited to announce that Netflix and France's leading publisher are teaming up to present Asterix, an iconic figure of French popular culture, to a new generation of worldwide viewers. We're partnering with Hachette's Les Editions Albert René to create the first-ever animated limited series based on the timeless classic. Renowned French auteur and playwright Alain Chabat will direct and Alain Goldman (Legende Films) will produce. Alain Chabat is no stranger to this iconic property. He wrote and directed 2002's Mission Cléopâtre,' the most successful of Asterix's numerous appearances on screen and the third highest-grossing feature film in French history. I'm thrilled that Alain Chabat is coming back to Asterix for the first time since then, and that it's on Netflix. The series will debut in 2023. |
