Since its publications 178 years ago, “The Three Musketeers” has been one of the most popular and acclaimed adventure novels in the world. Thanks to its iconic characters, from d’Artagnan, Athos, Aramis and Porthos to Cardinal Richelieu and spy Milady de Winter, the novel has permeated popular culture. The heroes of the story epitomize the values of loyalty and comradeship and have carried the legacy of novel through successive periods and generations.
The adventure will be split into two films to give the story the breathing room required to capture the richness and depth of the novel: THE THREE MUSKETEERS: D’ARTAGNAN and THE THREE MUSKETEERS: MILADY, helmed by filmmaker Martin Bourboulon (director of hit movies including Eiffel and Daddy or Mommy). This new version of the classic will feature a star-studded cast including Vincent Cassel (Beauty and the Beast), Eva Green (Casino Royale), Romain Duris (Eiffel), Louis Garrel (Little Women) and Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread).
