New 'La Rosa di Versailles' Film Trailer Revealed for Spring 2025 Release

The highly anticipated animated film 'La Rosa di Versailles' (Lady Oscar) will premiere in Japanese theaters in spring 2025, as revealed by a new trailer, poster, and cast announcement. Directed by Ai Yoshimura and produced by MAPPA, the film adapts Riyoko Ikeda's classic 1972 manga 'Bell Rose,' which has sold over 20 million copies. The voice cast includes Sawashiro Miyuki as Oscar François de Jarjayes, Aya Hirano as Marie Antoinette, Kazuki Kato as Hans Axel von Fersen, and Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Andre Grandier. The story follows these four characters at the Palace of Versailles in late 18th-century France, navigating their destinies amid revolutionary times. The film project was first announced in 2009 by Toei Animation, but stalled until a 2022 update on the manga's 50th anniversary. The character Lady Oscar has become a cultural icon, inspiring books, dolls, stamps, fashion collaborations, and exhibitions, including a current show at WOW Spazio Fumetto in Milan until September 15, marking the 45th anniversary of the Italian anime series.
