Trailer Talk: The Three Musketeers
Hello all. Mark here
John watched the trailer for The Three Musketeers and loved it. I am slightly worried. I’m still not sure why Milla must do Matrix types moves in this film. She could be perfectly tough without slow motion falls and flips.
I think the casting of Orlando Bloom was inspired. Also, Ray Stevenson is in it! I was his stand-in on the film Jayne Mansfield’s Car. He is a super cool guy and I hope his career blows up.
I’m thinking this film will be a minor hit in theaters. Just a hunch….I’m going to watch it anyway.
TRAILER TALK: The Three Musketeers
BY John Leavengood
Check out the new trailer for The Three Musketeers (2011). It looks great!
It stars Milla Jovavich, Orlando Bloom, Logan Lerman (Gamer, Percy Jackson), Matthew Macfayden (Robin Hood), Ray Stevenson (Rome) and Luke Evans (Robin Hood, Clash of the Titans). The last three play Athos, Porthos and Aramis, respectively. Christoph Waltz (bad guy from Inglorious Basterds and Green Hornet) plays the Cardinal. Will he be as slimy as Tim Curry? Will Logan Lerman be as annoying as Chris O’Donnell? Ray Stevenson and Oliver Platt…I don’t know how to compare them other than to say in Rome Ray’s character (Pullo) really liked to drink. The other actors seem to appropriately fill the 1993 Three Musketeers’ boots just fine—based on a trailer.
You be the judge.
I don’t like this trend in re-doing movies to make them bigger, badder and more “dark.” It’s like it’s frowned upon if the original movie was a bit hokey. I think this movie will be like the last Robin Hood movie – forgotten almost immediately.
