THE THREE MUSKETEERS
D'ARTAGNAN ARRIVES THIS APRIL
Believe it or not April is just two weeks away from us and that means that the adventure we have been waiting for is ready to hit cinemas with the first part
of the planned duology THE THREE MUSKE- TEERS: D'ARTAGNAN and then the second part - THE THREE MUSKE- TEERS: MILADY will arrive in December this year, Pathe has meanwhile released the magnificent character posters to wet our appetites! Beside that, together with Disney Plus they are also making two spin off TV series MILADY: ORIGINS which will follow the beginnings of the elegant villainess and BLACK MUSKETEER which I announced a
few years ago. To be shot in French, the series will build on the experience
gathered making the $80 million worth historical adventure movie saga
based on Alexandre Dumas' work. First film D'Artagnan is 
out April 5th, the second December 13th! The film hits Russia April 6th, and parts of South America and Europe from April 13th! Both films were shot back to back! The same team is also preparing Count Monte Cristo movie with Pierre Niney in the lead role.

3 MUSKETEERS: D'ARTAGNAN
will follow D'Artagnan (Francois Civil), a spirited young Gascon, who is left for dead after trying to save a young woman from being kidnapped. When he arrives in Paris, he tries by all means to find his attackers. He is unaware that his quest will lead him to the heart of a real war where the future of France is
at stake. Allied with Athos
(Vincent Cassel), Porthos (Pio Marmai), and Aramis (Romain Duris), three
musketeers of the King (Louis Garrel) with a dangerous temerity,
D'Artagnan faces the dark machinations of the Cardinal of Richelieu
(Eric Ruf). But it is when he falls madly in love with Constance
Bonacieux (Lyna Khoudri), the Queen's (ghastly dull Vicky Krieps) confidante, that
d'Artagnan truly puts himself in danger. For it is this passion that
leads him into the wake of the one who becomes his mortal enemy: Milady
de Winter (bizarrely grotesque Eva Green). Jacob Fortune-Lloyd 
stars as Duke of Buckingham! This new adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' 1844 novel will introduce a new character, Hannibal, based on the true story of Louis Anniaba, the first Black musketeer in French history. He is played by Ralph Amoussou!

Not my cup of tea but hopefully others like it.
ReplyDeleteIt will probably be a hit although I don't like what they did with Milady in it.
DeleteI think this doesn’t look half bad. I think I initially brushed it off when you first mentioned it, but I’d give it a chance.
ReplyDeleteI will probably skip it as I cannot stand Eva Green and she looks terrible in the trailer. The film would have been something totally different if they cast Virginie Efira, my queen.
DeleteI figured you'd pass because of Eva Green. She doesn't bother me too much. I can overlook her bad acting if the rest of the film looks decent.
DeleteI cannot, especially with Vicky Krieps also in the cast, she bores the heck out of me.She's a Euro Gertrude.
DeleteFrom memory book Milady is supposed to be blonde and in her early twenties but and it's a big but - she's supposed to be innocent looking albeit she is a villainess, she isn't supposed to look like a villainess. I had to look up
ReplyDeleteVirginie Efira and I agree she has the right innocent look. If they wanted to go with a more mature Milady Clemence Poesie might have sufficed. Eva Green looks to obviously evil - possibly it would have worked if she had had her natural blonde hair or even worn a blonde wig.
They even dressed her as a brigand and gave her a pipe, such atrocity!
DeletePoesy does not have the lead star energy, she will forever be a supporting actress, have you seen her in Essex Serpent last year with Tom Hiddleston? Bound to play sickly wives and such sad characters.
Did I say 'to obviously' of course it should be 'too obviously'.
