All For One, And One For Paul (W.S. Anderson)!!


Merrick here...


Paul W.S. Anderson will (at least) co-write and produce a 3-D adaptation of Alexandre Dumas' THE THREE MUSKETEERS (HERE).

The intent is for the film to have a contemporary feel, though that does not mean ditching the period setting.

“We are definitely modernizing ‘The Three Musketeers’ without compromising the fun of shooting a period piece,” said Anderson, who hopes to shoot in France and Germany. “But in our film, corsets and feathered hats don’t take center stage. Our version is rich in eye-popping action, romance and adventure.”

...says THR's HeatVision Blog HERE.

Dumas' tale has been adapted more times than can be enumerated herein - including a 1903 version, a 1948 iteration starring Gene Kelly...





...this 1973 adaptation from Alexander and Ilya Salkind...




...and Stephen Herek's 1993 take starring Charlie Sheen, Kiefer Sutherland, Oliver Platt, and Chris O'Donnell...



The script for the new film is being co-written by BRIDGET JONES' Andrew Davies - no word on who'll direct.
