"The Three Musketeers" world-premieres in London.
Fighting once again kicks off, as the latest film adaptation of Alexandre Duma's popular novel 'The Three Musketeers' has its world-premiere in London.
While most people will have seen one version or the other of 'The Three Musketeers', director Paul W.S. Anderson promises his film offers a new angle to the story:
SOUNDBITE: Paul W.S. Anderson, director, saying: (English)
"First off we cast D'Artagnan at the correct age. He's eighteen years old in the book, but in every previous incarnation of the movie he is always played by a man in his twenties, or his thirties or sometimes even his forties. So really we've made it for young people."
For young actor Logan Lerman who was cast in the role of D'Artagnan, the film wasn't just an excellent professional opportunity but also offered him a new experience abroad:
SOUNDBITE: Logan Lerman, plays D'Artagnan, saying: (English)
"Ton of fun. I mean for like a west coaster American kid to travel to Germany and live there for five months was like an incredible experience for me."
Milla Jovovich who in recent years made herself a name as Hollywood action star plays the female lead in the movie. The star who is married to the director says every new movie brings about new challenges:
SOUNDBITE: Milla Jovovich, plays Milady D'Winter, saying: (English)
"Well you know it is great that I had the experience of over ten years of doing the action to bring to this movie because once you get the corset and the thirty pounds skirt on, wow, that was the main training I had to do was actually to be able to do the action with the costume."
The film also stars Ray Stevenson, Luke Evans, and Matthew Macfadyen as 'The Three Musketeers" and Pirates of the Carrabean star Orlando Bloom as the Duke of Buckingham.
The last "Three Musketeers" film was released in 1993. The new version opens in UK cinemas on October 12.
