Asterix at the Olympic Games (French: Astérix aux Jeux olympiques) is a 2008 French fantasy comedy film co–directed by Frédéric Forestier and Thomas Langmann, and written by Langmann, Alexandre Charlot and Frank Magnier, based on characters from René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo's Astérix comic series. A sequel to Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002), it is the third installment in the Asterix film series.
At the time of its release, it was the most expensive French and non English-language film of all time.[4] The film was negatively received by critics, but performed well at several European box offices, topping charts in Poland, Spain and France.[5] It was the final film of Alain Delon before his death.[6]
