'Asterix: The land of the Gods' planned for 2014.

Producers SND/M6 have announced they're busy creating a new animated feature with Asterix: 'Asterix et le domaine des dieux' ('Asterix and the land of the Gods'). Animated by French studio Mac Guff, creators of last year's very funny and succesfull 3D animation 'Despicable Me', this new feature will be based on 'The Mansion of the Gods', the seventeenth volume in the Asterix comic book series by Goscinny and Uderzo from 1971.

The movie will be directed by Louis Clichy, animator on Pixar's 'Wall-E' (2008) and 'Up' (2009) and Alexandre Atrier, known for his work on M6's medieval fantasy series 'Kaamelott'.

This will be the first time we'll see Asterix in stereocopic 3D, after a series of traditionally animated features, his last being 'Asterix and the Vikings' (2006). Louis Clichy confirmed on his blog he's busy with Asterix. Make sure to check it out ! The first screens from the animation tests have just been leaked!
