"Bresson must have really wanted to keep this a secret." Not a secret anymore! GKids has released the full-length official US trailer (with subtitles) for Lupin III: The First, the very first CGI animated Lupin the 3rd movie to be made. It already opened in Japan last year (we featured two trailers) and played at this year's Annecy Film Festival. GKids will finally be giving this animated adventure a theatrical release in the US starting October. The iconic "gentleman thief" Lupin III returns in an action-packed, continent-spanning adventure, as Lupin III and his colorful underworld companions race to uncover secrets in the mysterious Bresson Diary. "The gang undertakes trap-filled tombs, aerial escapades and daring prison escapes with the trademark wit and visual finesse that have made Lupin the 3rd one of the most storied animation franchises in the world, in a thrilling new caper that is sure to delight fans old and new." Featuring the original voices of Kan'ichi Kurita, Daisuke Namikawa, Miyuki Sawashiro, Kôichi Yamadera, Kôtarô Yoshida, & Kiyoshi Kobayashi. I'm still very excited to see this! Looks like it's going to be sooo much fun to watch.
Here's the full-length US trailer (+ poster) for Takashi Yamazaki's Lupin III: The First, from YouTube:
