3 Musketeers is really happening and I may eat my own words

Back in September, I was talking some smack about the new Paul W.S. Anderson adaptation of The Three Musketeers. I may eat my own words after the casting news reported yesterday!

Let me explain:
Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, Mads Mikkelsen, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz

Lerman (Percy Jackson) as the young, witty D'Artagnan. Stevenson (Punisher: War Zone), Evans (Clash of the Titans) and Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) are also rumored. Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) as Cardinal Richelieu?! Are you kidding me?!

No, there's more... Milla Jovovich in the female lead!? Ummm... yes please! You can have my 15 bucks and I will gladly see this cast in the biggest piece of crap movie ever!

The movie is still in the "rumor" phase of casting, but the 3D part we talked about last year seems to be solid.

This movie is a completely different version than the one being developed by Warner Brothers. That version of the Musketeers is rumored to be directed by Doug Liman.

I better wait to see that cast before I cast judgment again and eat my own words... AGAIN. I'm gonna keep a close eye on this one and let you know as soon as anything comes up or is confirmed!

Quickie: 3 Musketeers in 3D... no I'm not kidding

Paul W.S. Anderson has been brought on to direct a 3 Musketeers movie in 3D. Sounds pretty stupid right? Well, we at AtD like Paul W.S. Anderson ok. Death Race was really entertaining and we mentioned to you last month he's working on a prequel. The rest of the movie going public seems to disagree with us, but who cares, it is a matter of opinion anyway right? The movie is going to be a period piece, set in France and Germany, shooting begins next year. The script is written and ready to go. Do I like the idea? No, I think its really stupid. But, I do feel like Anderson can pull it off. Sure.

For a truly unique twist on the Musketeer story, check out the 2001 film, The Musketeer. It's an amazing adaptation featuring Kung Fu wire work that will blow your mind. That film stars Tim Roth.
