Netflix just added it not that long ago.

Also, looks like the third Maze Runner movie is definitely not coming out this year as production has been put on indefinite hold due to Dylan O'Brien's injuries.

gently caress that poo poo. Both of them are as flat as boards.

Seriously, Fujiko's name literally translates out to "the mountain peaks of Fuji". You're either getting a Caucasian actress or you're putting effort into Hitomi Tanaka crossing over from porn into mainstream films. I'm sure Japanese fans would approve either way over Kikuchi or Okamoto as Fujiko.

I'm aware of his lineage, and you could easily ignore the "Lupin III is French-Japanese" bit, but it's more the part where he hangs out with the descendant of a samurai and a Japanese gangster that would seem harder to translate. Especially given how much people are flipping their poo poo over Ghost in the Shell.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:

Asian sidekicks are a lot more studio-friendly than Asian leads. Get Takenouchi Yutaka as Jigen, Go Ayano as Goemon, and Rinko Kikuchi or Tao Okamoto as Fujiko, and have Lupin himself just be a French expat.
Or just have him hang out with a cowboy guy and italian-american gangster. And have him be half American.

I mean if we're adapting Arsene Lupin fan fiction there's no reason to keep the Japan bits.

Actually it's more "child of Fuji peak", but that's because of the -ko.

If you really want to break it down "峰" means "peak" or "summit" or "ridge". "不二" is the kanji for Mt. Fuji. So her name is indeed "Fuji peak", a boob joke.

Oh wow I kinda have mixed feelings.

As I recall, Mezieres sued Besson after the latter did 5th Element. Mez is the artist on Valerian for the non-francophones. There's no doubt Besson used a bunch of elements of Circles of Power. I wonder what Christin (the writer) thinks

If they're friends now that's cool though. Besson is a huge weirdo and intensely hit&miss but I think he could pull off a Valerian & Laureline movie.
