Paris – It is a few meters from the Champs-Elysees encountered comedian quebecois Stephane Rousseau. In its second city, Paris, he lives six months a year. But the cinema propels a face everywhere. Soon, all united Europe will see its pretty head. It embodies the last romantic lover, Gauls of yore, replying to the sweet name Lovestorix.

Nothing to do with his role in The Barbarian Invasions. From January 30, the blockbuster (78 million) Asterix at the Olympic Games will land in some 950 rooms in the Hexagon, and almost simultaneously in 5000 some thirty countries. France wants to compete more than ever in Hollywood gigantism. But it does succeed

Yesterday evening, the official startup was going to Parisian chic cinema Gaumont Champs-Elysees. As for Benoit Poelvoorde, another star of the film, he never looks at the cinema, not only detect its flaws… And at first, has vowed to spin before the lights go out.

Provided you clarify: this film has nothing to do with the second component, Mission Cleopatra, which was the best Asterix at the screen door, or at least funnier. Qu’Uderzo recall, one of the fathers of bede worship, had unfortunately shows irritated by the rain humor and anachronisms served by Alain Chabat, who had realized the Mission Cleopatra.

A third project had been set up by Gerard Jugnot and the team from the Splendid. Realigned again by Uderzo. He had the obstinacy of Langman, who heads one of the biggest production houses in Paris, that the Gauls returned to the screen, but in classic mode.

Langman, producer, co-writer and co-director of the Asterix at the Olympic Games, is the son of Claude Berri, who produced and directed the first Asterix, and also produced the second. Generations will pass over, but the filmmakers are changing.
