Guillaume Canet unveils new images of the next "Asterix"

It is well known, the Gauls are afraid of only one thing: that the sky falls on their heads.

And for Guillaume Canet, who resumed the shooting of the next film

in Auvergne, it was almost the case on Tuesday.

The actor and director, who will play the intrepid friend of Obelix in

, posted a video on Instagram, in the heart of Auvergne, on the Guéry plateau, in the Puy de Dôme.

And the least we can say is that the elements are not on his side.

"Go on another good day of filming", launches the star, apparently in an excellent mood, a perfect Gallic mustache, before leaving his dressing room to face ... a gray sky and an icy wind!

The plan changes and he suddenly appears masked, under the hood of a big parka, giving orders to his team.

"You take the camera with the 135mm and you take it over there, we call the horses, let's go now, ok?

Here we go !

He yells as the wind blows.

By Toutatis !

Obviously, it was a "sketch" improvised by Guillaume Canet on the set of the film.

Because if the weather has not been very good since the start of filming (two weeks ago, the director had already posted a video where we saw him screaming to give directions to his team), the work is progressing.

In Story, Guillaume Canet posted a new photo the next day where we can see a much clearer sky, and the technical team at work.

“Blue is back,” he wrote on the image in English.

And this improvement in filming conditions comes at the right time since Guillaume Canet must shoot a key scene of his film on the Guéry plateau: a battle between the Romans and the Chinese, with a few Gauls of course, which should mobilize around 400 extras.

The release of

, the first big blockbuster to be shot post-Covid with a budget of 65 million euros, is scheduled for the second half of 2022.
