Re: The Gaul of it! Asterix too French, says watchdog
I hear that there will be a cinema production of Capitán Trueno, in English, in 2009.
I wonder how it will be. Surely much lighter than the comics that started in 1956 and lived on through generations of Spaniards. Not with adventures against Moors and Mongols as here:
The Gaul of it! Asterix too French, says watchdog
... or like this other!
