Trailer + Poster Spotlight – The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan starring Eva Green, Vicky Krieps and Vincent Cassel

I do know there have been a bazillion Three Musketeers variations however hey, I’ve really by no means seen a French model with French actors. There is a 1953 French-Italian model that I’ve by no means seen, and there are most likely others on condition that Alexandre Dumas is among the most celebrated French writers.

Well, Pathe has simply launched the trailer of Martin Bourboulon‘s adaptation of the basic story, The Three Musketeers, which might be launched in two components, starring Eva Green as Milady, Vincent Cassel as Athos, and Vicky Krieps as Queen Anne.

I LOVE this forged!! It’s the who’s who of French cinema. In addition to the three I discussed above, we’ve obtained Romain Duris as Aramis, Louis Garrel as King Louis XIII, Pio Marmaï as Porthos, and Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as Duc de Buckingham. I’ve solely seen François Civil in Call My Agent! (I instantly yelped ‘that’s Mathias’ son!) and he’s enjoying younger D’Artagnan. 

Official synopsis:

D’Artagnan, a spirited younger Gascon, is left for lifeless after attempting to save lots of a younger girl from being kidnapped. When he arrives in Paris, he tries by all means to seek out his attackers. He is unaware that his quest will lead him to the center of an actual battle the place the way forward for France is at stake. Allied with Athos, Porthos and Aramis, three musketeers of the King with a harmful temerity, D’Artagnan faces the darkish machinations of the Cardinal of Richelieu. But it’s when he falls head over heels in love with Constance Bonacieux, the Queen’s confidante, that d’Artagnan actually places himself at risk. For it’s this ardour that leads him into the wake of the one who turns into his mortal enemy: Milady de Winter.

Lots of the current Three Musketeers variations are extra comedic and even downright foolish (the 2011 Paul W.S. Anderson one involves thoughts). I keep in mind having fun with the 1993 model again within the day (Tim Curry was a hoot as Cardinal Richelieu) however my private responsible pleasure is definitely The Man within the Iron Mask which has the musketeers featured prominently.

I all the time discover it amusing to see British or American actors simply use their very own accents whereas enjoying French characters, so simply on that entrance alone this one already feels rather more genuine. Another plus is that each movies are largely shot on location in France with only a few scenes shot within the studio.

I’m not acquainted with Bourboulon however I’ve been curious to take a look at his earlier movie Eiffel starring Romain Duris and Emma Mackey. He should’ve achieved one thing proper to be given the rein of an epic two-part movie with THIS forged. The cinematography, set items, costumes, and so forth. look beautiful and it guarantees loads of swashbuckling motion, romance, and political intrigue. Wowza! Interesting that the primary film will concentrate on the hero (D’Artagnan) and the second on his antagonist (Milady). I learn on IMDb that it was shot again to again with its sequel The Three Musketeers: Milady (2023) for a complete shoot of seven months that began in the summertime of 2021.

Based on the trailer, the primary film is about to launch on Easter (April 5, 2023) and Milady might be launched at Christmas subsequent yr. I can hardly wait!!
