The Three Musketeers 2023: Part 1 D'Artagnan, Part 2 Milady (1 Viewer)

This new two part French adaptation of the famous novel will be released theatrically in France, part 1 entitled D'Artagnan in April and part 2 entitled Milady at Christmas. Stars Vincent Cassel and Eva Green. The subtitled trailer looks very good and I'm hoping for a theatrical release in the UK.

Part One, D'Artagnan in April, when Spring is in the air and our hero is young and callow, and we hope he's not played by the much older Cassel; and Part Two, Milady at Christmas, appropriate since she calls herself Milady de Winter. Played by the luscious Eva Green?
I'm joking, of course, but that's how the titles read...

This has now been released in the UK and I caught a showing at my nearest IMAX, excellent film as hoped.

I had not heard of these films until I saw the trailer for D'Artagnan as a pop-up on this forum. Looks interesting, if a bit dark and grim. I have seen most of the serious attempts to film the Dumas story, so I will probably see these films when I can.

Yeah, hadn't heard about this 2-parter until it popped up on my Google feed just now. Interesting... and sounds like it should be pretty good. Looks like Part 1 will have some kinda limited theatrical engagement here (in USA) in early-Dec at the same time as its streaming release...

I've seen D'Artagnan and thought it was terrific, with one minor alteration to a character that will drive some people crazy. Not so much dark and grim as it is grimy, in that so many characters seem to be always covered in dirt and muck. It seems to me it's more aimed at the adult /geek Game of Thrones crowd rather than family audiences.

^Well, Hollywood, et al seem to be going for more period realism/authenticity nowadays... at least in that particular manner anyway re: the "grimy... dirt and muck" -- I know, this isn't exactly quite Hollywood production, but probably applies to European/indies as well, if not even more so...

The authentic French locations really add to the film - it's a sumptuous looking production.

Sadly the French 4k release doesn't have English subs. I am hoping an English friendly 4k will be produced once part 2 has been released.

Yes, the look reminds me of the BBC series The Musketeers, which also had a grimy and muddy quality as well.

I watched part 2 this evening, another entertaining installment. The ending sets up another film although I don't think one has been announced. Hope a 4k release is in the pipeline.
