Films I am excited about: The Three Musketeers

[alexandral]

OMPH! I have been alerted by always knowledgeable trailer_spot : The Three Musketeers are coming! In 3D!! With Ray Stevenson as Portos , Matthew Macfadyen as Atos and Luke Evans as Aramis! and Milla Jovovich as Milady!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Mads Mikkelsen as Rochefort! For some strange and hard to fathom reason Dumas' books are not as popular in the UK as they are in Russia, but I must say that for me personally he is the number 1 as far as historical literature ( with some free interpretation of history ) is concerned. And The Three Musketeers trilogy is his best, I red and re-red these books so many times as a child. Hopefully there will be new editions of the English translation soon (this usually happens when new film adaptations are released) so that I can push it to my daughter - 12 years was the first time I read the books myself.

The trailer:

PS: this adaptation's D'Artagnan is a cutie.

I also prefer non-3D. But don't they usually show a 2D version alongside with 3D? They quite often do it here.

I thought so, too, but then I went to my local cinema for a screening of Tron: Legacy and they only had it in 3-D. Ridiculous!

Boooooooo! Hopefully one of our local cinemas (we have several :D) will show 2D. because my eyes are not as good I find that 3D makes my head hurt.
