Michael Schumacher is due to renew his working relationship with former team boss Jean Todt on screen early next year when they appear together in an Asterix movie.

The seven-time world champion is appearing in the 'Asterix at the Olympic Games' film, which is due for release in France on January 30th 2008.

Schumacher will play the part of a chariot racer called Schumix, with Todt working for him in the pits.

The scene they appear in together took one month to film and lasts for seven minutes in the movie - with some of it appearing in official trailers that have now been released.

The pair were convinced to take part in the film by co-director Thomas Langmann, with their retainers going to their nominated ICM charity.

Schumacher and Todt are not the only big sport names to appear in the film. Zinedine Zidane plays Numerodix, while David Beckham has also been included in the film credits
