Signs must be pointing well at Discotek Media to mine more of the Lupin the 3rd franchise as they have a number of things that have come out and in the works and have just added another. The latest addition is the 1990 TV special Lupin the 3rd: he Hemingway Papers, which will see release on May 27th, 2014. The first blush artwork has been revealed to the right as well. The show has never been released in North America before so it’s getting just the original Japanese language track with English subtitles.
Plot concept: Word is out that the “Hemingway Papers”, the newly discovered last novel by the great author, tells the hiding place of a buried treasure on a desolate Mediterranean island. Lupin sneaks onto the island where, instead of treasure-hunting, he finds himself embroiled in a violent struggle for power. To Lupin’s surprise, his old buddies Jigen and Goemon are also in the fight for their own reasons. Marcus the Merchant of Death also lands on the island accompanied by Fujiko, Lupin’s greatest weakness, and followed by the police inspector, who is forever on Lupin’s tail.
