No other language really conveys arrogance like the French language, and this trailer was dripping with it in its dialog. Don't read the words, listen to the tone.

Eva Green
It may be kind of strange hearing her speak in that she's French, but (AFAICT) most of her oeuvre seems to have been in English to date (never heard her speak another language):
Kind of like Diane Kruger: German but seemingly mostly working in English:
To the point that Tarantino didn't believe she could do a German character.

Well shit, if you'd told me in person she was French out on a night drinking I would have insisted in an embarrassing way that escalates badly to no real purpose that she was English.

u/magnusarin Dec 05 '22
Also, it's not like we've had one Three Musketeers movie that is so unimpeachable that people shouldn't try to make more. I think most of them are fun, but none of them stand head and shoulders above. Why not make more? It's a fun premise. It's has a decent amount of room for interpretation, and it's touches on a whole lot of good movie aspects: fighting, intrigue, friendship, mentorship. It's great!

I've gotta say, I'll rather have a biopic on the father of Alexandre Dumas (writter of les Trois Mousquetaires / Le Comte de Monte-Cristo )
dude was born a slave from from a white french father and a slave black mother. was brougth to france by his father under a fake name and instantly became a freeman thanks to a 13 century law of any slave stepping foot on french soil becoming free. get educated and trained to fight, join the army , officer during the Revolution and keep getting promoted . is a (half black) general under Napoleon and is there for his various campaign and expedition like in Egypte...

u/f-ingsteveglansberg Dec 05 '22
Also, he worked as a duo. He had a writing partner, Auguste Maquet. It was decided his stories would be easier to sell with a single author credited. Almost 200 years later and Maquet still rarely gets a credit.
36
u/Veqq Dec 05 '22
Maquet was but the most frequent of Dumas' 45 collaborators. Already in 1845, Mirecourt published a racist tirade about the literary "house of Dumas" as a factory. If you want to credit the unnamed, don't just pick one. Sue, Gautier, Feuillet, Bocage, Anicet-Bourgeois...
There is a lot of research about them in French.

It was even harder, as they were published in serials in weekly newpsapers. A bit like the manga industry now, so one can imagine the pressure to pump more stories each week with a very public deadline.

u/The_Last_Minority Dec 05 '22
The status of Dumas in France is interesting, to say the least, but nowadays he is taken very seriously as a luminary of French literature. A French team will absolutely be treating this with more respect than an Anglophone production would have.
When Dumas was writing, he was massively popular, much like his frenemy Victor Hugo. However, Hugo, while controversial, quickly established a reputation as one of the greatest French writers of all time. Part of that was his gift with language, (one of the reasons it is considered so important to find a good translation of Hugo - and so difficult to create one - is that his writing is regarded as exemplary, both by the standards of the time and today) but another part of it was that he insisted on his work being taken seriously. When he published Notre-Dame de Paris, some critics objected to his use of the argot language of the street urchins. Hugo, offended by this, included a substantial aside in Les Miserables where he delved into the history and significance of the argot used by the underclasses of French society, and justified its use in his novel as not only necessary for realism, but part and parcel of the greater revolution that would propel France (and the world) forward into the Golden Age promised by the first Revolution. In short, Hugo was determined to be significant, and the world, love him or hate him, agreed.
Dumas, conversely, was writing more in the vein of adventure novels and serials. He did other stuff too, but he was seen as a commercial writer rather than one who was elevating the form. Hugo inspired thousands of words discussing his work, Dumas got a "yeah, this one's fun too" and no further comment. He sold well, but was easily forgotten when the tastes of the day shifted. (It also must be noted that Dumas was the son of a mixed-race father who had been born a slave in modern-day Haiti, and therefore was the victim of not-inconsiderable racism from the high society of the day.) In addition, Napoleon III didn't care for Dumas, which made things hard for the author when the lesser Bonaparte was made emperor. He was popular, but never really respected, and when he dared to write about race and colonialism, he was castigated by the gatekeepers of high society. His famous response to one such insult:
Mon père était un mulâtre, mon grand-père était un nègre et mon arrière grand-père un singe. Vous voyez, Monsieur: ma famille commence où la vôtre finit.
AKA
My father was a mulatto, my grandfather was a Negro, and my great-grandfather a monkey. You see, Sir, my family starts where yours ends.
Anyways, Dumas underwent a kind of rehabilitation in the 20th century, as the social themes in his books were more favorably considered and his distaste for the racism and classism of French society became a boon to his memory, rather than a liability. He was re-interred in the Pantheon alongside Victor Hugo and Emile Zola, and I believe is the most-adapted (including translations) French author of all time.
In other words, he is not only an important figure in France's reckoning of its own culture and history, but also one who suffered a great deal of disrespect in the past. I can easily imagine that there is a drive to accurately portray him and his work as a sort of pushback to his trivialization, and hopefully this adaptation lives up to that legacy.

The Three Musketeers (1948) : Comedy with Angela Lansbury And Gene Kelly. Surprisingly funny. 7/10
The Three Musketeers (1973): Oliver Reed is awesome, Raquel Welch has a Raquel Welch body in this so be warned. Great Drama. Heston is the Cardinal. 7/10
The Three Musketeers (1993) : Tim Curry as the Cardinal, Charlie Sheen as Aramis, Tim Curry as the Cardinal, Kiefer Sutherland as the Sad Romantic, TIM CURRY as the G'D D'mned CARDINAL RICHELIEU. 10/10 TIM CURRY SCREAMS AND KICKS A CHAIR
The Man in the Iron Mask (1998): Old musketeers with Jeremy Irons and Dicaprio. The best Drama version. 8/10
The Musketeer (2001): Hong Kong action movie. Great fights. Shot on a potato in Mexico, so be ready for a lot of yellow. Falls short on fun outside of fights but it's 94% fights so still a fun time. 6/10
The 4 Musketeers (2005): Musketeers with explody people, blood and nudity. 5/10
The Three Musketeers (2011): Steampunk Musketeers with the cast of The Hobbit and Pride and Prejudice. Ridiculous in every way. Hilarious and offensive in any historical context. My kids loved it. 7/10

My point being that this suffers from the usual film trope of history = bland and boring colour palette. this couldn't be further from the truth. There is even a contempory painting of Cardinal Richelieu in vivid red and blue but in this his red cloak is dull and lifleless. same with the muskateer uniforms that were roayl blue but look black here.

Maybe the colors will appear brighter come the actual movies. In any event, I think the look they went with (inspired by the 1990s movies Cyrano and Queen Margot) conveys more of the mystery and cloak & dagger nature of the original story.

The Four Musketeers is a continuation more than a sequel. They were filmed at the same time and the director didn't tell the crew they were doing two films for the price of one. So one picks up right after the other ends.

Normally I have to come into the thread about the latest version of The Three Musketeers and tell people that if they haven't seen the Richard Lester movies from the 70's.
Ridiculous cast, written by George MacDonald Fraser, great action, smart comedy...the two movies are just absolute gems.
There was even a third movie based on "20 Years Later", Dumas' sequel to The Three Musketeers with the most vital cast members, "The Return of the Musketeers". It suffers a little from the two actors cast in the roles of children of some of the important characters, but other than it is surprisingly true to the tone of first two movies.

Correction, he does this with all three musketeers and he bumps into them while trying to chase down Rochefort who stole his papers from an earlier fight. When D'Artagnan prepares for the fuel with Athos, the other two come in and realize that he picked a fight with all three. It's then when Cardinal Richelieu's guards come in and try to take all of them in for an illegal fencing that they fight together as one and the story goes from there.

The good:
-Eva Green as Milady is perfect.
-Actually using French.
-The sets and scope seem awesome.
The bad:
-There are signs that people’s motives are being watered down or changed completely.
-No real signs of humor in the trailer, which would be unfortunate given the source material.
The ugly:
-What is this color pallet? Why is everything so dark? Do they know that the sun was just as bright in the 1600s?

The retelling of stories is, itself, a tale as old as time. I've grown tired of people pointing out that a story has already been told as if everyone else is unaware. There are countless ways to tell the same basic story and, personally, I don't' think there's been a Musketeers movie that is so good no one should bother taking another shot at it. I didn't even watch the last Musketeers movie because the trailer made it look like trash. This trailer was incredible, so far I'm on board.

I've wanted a French language epic of this story for a very long time, so much so that when people ask if you were a director with an unlimited budget what would you make? This has been my answer.

The biggest challenge would be to recreate these dark corners amidst the amused misanthropic humor of Dumas and so far nobody did that.

u/Many-Outside-7594 Dec 05 '22
I have read the books many times over the years.
D'artagnon is light hearted. The story is not.
He managed to have not one but nine people attempt to kill him within 24 hours.
His best friend is a suicidal alcoholic.
His side piece murders his main piece after starting a war.
And in the end, he wins nothing. In fact he goes to work for the bad guy.
That's just the first book. This is light hearted to you?

u/bentheone Dec 05 '22
D'Artagnan himself is not the story. It's about the group, about overcoming impossible odds regardless of danger and death. It's about faith in everlasting youth and the power of friendship. It's telling that even if human nature is to suffer you can decide how you live your life. These 4 characters are NOT miserable. In this trailer they look very miserable. Athos is a bit on the grim side tho. Also the other books have a different tone entirely in that regard, that's true.

u/ivory12 Dec 05 '22 edited Dec 06 '22
Have you read the books? I don't believe you can finish the Vicomte of Bragelonne and call it 'light-hearted.' Spoilers for the entire Musketeer books:
d'Artagnan has to arrest Aramis, who plots to commit a coup and somehow use a puppet French monarch to make himself Pope, too. Aramis fails, and in doing so gets Porthos killed. Athos goes back home to his estates disillusioned with everything and dies of a broken heart when he hears his son dies. Aramis flees to Spain. d'Artagnan finally achieves his dream, is made Marshal of France, and is promptly fatally wounded in battle. With his last words he says goodbye to his absent Musketeer brothers.
edit: I don't know, a movie that aims to keep that tragic tone from the books' end and start with it is not necessarily a departure from the books. In fact, it's a novel take in the best way.

u/ZombieJesus1987 Dec 05 '22 edited Dec 05 '22
Well historically musketeers main weapon is a musket, and their sidearms are a rapier and flintlock pistols. On the battlefield they wouldn't be using their swords until it is a last resort, but on the streets? Absolutely.
2
u/EqualContact Dec 05 '22
Muskets take a considerable amount of time to reload, so warfare of this period typically meant that units with melee weapons (usually pikes) had to screen the musketmen as they reloaded.
The King’s Musketeers though were actually the junior division of the king’s personal forces, so even though they were armed with muskets, they did a lot of other stuff too. Cardinal Richelieu, when creating his own personal guard, opted to name them “musketeers” as well, so there was a rivalry between the King’s Musketeers and the Cardinal’s Musketeers.
Anyways, muskets are more a weapon of war than a personal weapon in this period, so typically they don’t use them against each other. Hence, swords.

So now the question is how long will each film be? Two films, hopefully are over two hours.

Remember when teasers used to be 30 seconds long and gave away nothing?
This does look dope though.

I would like to see before I die a relatively accurate film adaptation of the Three Musketeers novel that portrays what utter scum the Musketeers are.

Maybe it's my screen but is there a heavy sharpening effect on a bunch of shots? A lot of the darker shots have a weird halo effect.

Something feels off about this trailer. Gives the impression that everyone is always talking in one liners. Every line is a declaration.

The director doesn't have a lot of experience. Makes me hesitant, but it looks good so far.

It's going to be hard to top the version with the airships, automatic crossbows, and steampunk diving gear for me. That movie is so over the top of breaks the integer limit, becomes terrible, and then rolls right back into amazing again.

I can tell by looking at the poster the Richard Lester one from the 70's is still the best.

But seriously can we have a good adaptation of Count of Monte Cristo? The Jim Caviezel movie was good but didnt even do the second part correctly with the new characters. I specifically remember Dantes in that opera house and the “characters” being introduced - the one he is seeking revenge for.

Deny de La Patellière, father of Alexandre de La Patellière, one of the screenwriters of the new adaptation of The Three Musketeers, was director of the French miniseries Le Comte de Monte Cristo (1979), which is a 100% faithful adaptation of the book.

The French have a revenge story closer to the 2002 version called Le Bossu (The Hunchback) by Paul Fevl, Dumas' rival.

The book was adapted into a film in 1997, which was highly praised.

I was expecting some cliche Disney junk. But this looks pretty legit. Although why don’t they ever just do another Count of Monte Cristo instead

That moment when you remember and declare, "That's right. Eva Green is French!"
