Trailer for the new French version of The Three Musketeers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvWLpi5J-NI
From the trailer it looks more impressive than the recent English language versions.

Saw this yesterday. It look great 8)
Two parts as well which is interesting. Seems to stray from the book of course but I’ll happily go watch it :)

Eva Green! :-*
Looking forward to it already ;D
-
Yes, that looks like it could be fun. I have given up
believing that films will follow the story of the book.
Especially if it is a classic.
-
Oh yes. I would watch Eva Green if she was filmed doing her shopping at Lidl. But it does look pretty good anyway. Thanks for the heads up.
-
I like Eva Green a lot too but does everyone have to wear black????

They are French, isn‘t that reason enough to wear a mourning ribbon. lol Memes aside, was also the thing that annoyed me the most.

At this point, if the film faithfully followed the book there would be little to no surprises. I'm glad at least the costuming looks about right (unlike the horrible ye olde Renaissance Faire leather costumes of the BBC The Musketeers). (Of course, for absolute authenticity of period, you would go far to duplicate the 1973 version).

Plenty of buckles being swashed - looks like a good action romp - looking forward to it. :D

Looks interesting, but can any version ever match the Richard Lester films?
-
Looks gorgeous. Like this very much :)

The three Musketeers were my favorite book as a child. The Dartakan cartoon played an important role as it was immensely popular in the 80's. The Richard Lester movies remain the most enjoyable imo (cant stand that Disney thing). I would really like to see a modern faithful adaptation or at least as faithful as possible to the book. I dont think that this one will be the one judging from the trailer, but it looks fun enough and being a French production gets extra points just for that in my book.

The Lester films are great, but Gene Kelly is D'Artagnan!

Agree with you Nick. They were the best films from the book.
Also agree, the Disney version was dreck.

I'm rather partial to the 1953 French version with comedy legend Bourvil as the valet Planchet and Georges Marchal channeling Errol Flynn as d'Artagnan.

I'll have to check that one out!
Of course, every role that Flynn did, he was merely copying Douglas Fairbanks' performance (but still quite entertaining). Just checked, and Fairbanks' Three Musketeers was just restored and with original colour process scenes last year. Will have to add that to my Fairbanks vid library!

D'Artagnan for spring 2023

Nick: "Looks interesting, but can any version ever match the Richard Lester films?"
Probably not. But this one does look promising

I watched about 30 min and I had to turn it off. What a disappointment. Probably the worst adaptation of the three musketeers and I include the (new) BBC series in the count. Everybody looks like they escaped from Deadwood’s set, rolled themselves in mud and then came over to shoot this film.
The costume designer should be shot, resurrected and shot again.
-
Saw it at the oldest purpose built cinema in the UK. https://electricpalace.com/ (https://electricpalace.com/)
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
-
Saw it when I came out and, although the costumes were not the best and there was a layer of muck on certain characters I thought it was really good. Best adaptation I've seen for a long time.
-
The standard laments of ahistorical costuming aside, I still really, really want to see this.
I still have no idea how to do so here in the States, legally.
Any ideas?
