Asterix and Obelix: God Save Britannia (French: Astérix & Obélix : Au service de Sa Majesté) is a 2012 French fantasy comedy live-action adaptation of the Asterix comic book series, directed by Laurent Tirard, and is the sequel to Asterix at the Olympic Games (2008), and is the fourth installment in the Asterix film series after Asterix & Obelix vs Caesar (1999), Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002), and Asterix at the Olympic Games (2008). It was released in 3D and premiered at the Dinard Festival of British Cinema to negative reviews. It is a live-action film from Fidélité Films and is based on Asterix in Britain (1965) and Asterix and the Normans (1966).[2] Gérard Depardieu plays the role of Obelix for the fourth and last time, while the Asterix role is taken over by Édouard Baer.
Julius Caesar lands in Britain, where a small village still holds out bravely against the Roman legions. But the situation becomes critical and the villagers have not got long to live; that's when Anticlimax, one of the villagers, seeks volunteers to go seek help from his second-cousin Asterix the Gaul and bring back a barrel of "magic potion" from the Breton village of the indomitable heroes.
