Beckham, Zidane and Schumacher to have roles in Asterix movie

Valencia, Spain - Real Madrid footballers David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane and German Formula One driver Michael Schumacher will have small roles in an upcoming movie 'Asterix at the Olympic Games,' Spanish press reports said Tuesday. The northeastern Spanish region of Valencia and the producer Pathe signed an agreement to start shooting the French-Spanish-German coproduction, the third part of an Asterix series, near Alicante on June 19. French actor Gerard Depardieu will continue to play Obelix, the fat friend of the clever Gaul Asterix who defeats the Romans with the help of his magic potion. Asterix is played by Clovis Cornillac. The film will also feature Claudia Cardinale and Alain Delon as Julius Cesar. The 78-million-euro (93-million-dollar) movie directed by Frederic Forestier and Thomas Langmann will be the most expensive in European film history, reports said. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
