What happens

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 and 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). Gérard Depardieu plays the role of Obelix for the fourth and last time, while the Asterix role is taken over by Édouard Baer. This is the only live action Asterix film where the Getafix character doesn't appear on screen, despite official plot descriptions mentioning him indirectly; he is mentioned only once by Vitalstatistix.
