Earlier this year we learned MAPPA was making a new theatrical adaptation of the legendary manga The Rose of Versailles. Now we know when that film is set to hit Japanese theaters: January 31, 2025.
We’ve also got some fresh key art, showing the designs for Oscar, Marie Antoinette, Andre and Hans.
The original manga by Riyoko Ikeda ran from 1972 to 1973, then returned from 2013 to 2018. The original 40-episode anime adaptation ran from 1979 to 1980.
Here’s the official description of the new The Rose of Versailles film:
Oscar François de Jarjayes, raised as the “son” and heir of a general’s family, masquerades as a beautiful woman in men’s clothing. Marie Antoinette arriving from neighboring Austria as a bride to become a noble and graceful queen.. Oscar’s servant and childhood friend, the commoner André Grandier. Hans Axel von Fersen, a handsome and intelligent count from Sweden. They meet in Versailles, France in the prosperous late 18th Century and live their respective destinies beautifully while being tossed about by the tides of times.
