It is not clear if this is the same one that announced in January. "Winter 2019" hasn't come yet (in movie sense, winter could meant December of this year).

Thanks :) I'll hope that they are not the same, so we can have two Lupin movies this year!

Yesss, more Koike goodness. I was expecting something about Zenigata, but Fujiko is great too. Can't wait.

I was hoping this would be a Zenigata film. But I enjoy Koike's Lupin so that's a minor matter for me.

Cool news and more Koike's Lupin film is awesome. I enjoy his take on hard-boiled Lupin that reminds me earlier Masaaki Osumi's darker direction of Lupin episodes.

Unlike last two films, I guess this won't be much action oriented so I am curious how he will handle this. Whatever, I have a good feeling as recent Lupin contents have been great.
