Angela Lansbury as Queen Anne of France in a publicity portrait for the MGM/George Sidney screen adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ literary classic The Three Musketeers, 1948. Dame Angela’s costumes in the film were designed by Walter Plunkett.
Dimitri Rassam is joining forces with Pathé on a €60 million ($73 million) two-part adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’ classic French masterpiece “The Three Musketeers.” The star-studded cast includes François Civil, Eva Green and Vincent Cassel as D’Artagnan, Milady and Athos.
The two sprawling feature films, titled “The Three Musketeers – D’Artagnan” and “The Three Musketeers – Milady,” will be directed by Martin Bourboulon, who recently helmed “Eiffel” with Romain Duris and Emma Mackey. Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière (“Le Prenom”) wrote the script of both films based on Dumas’ classic.
Now in pre-production, the pair of films will shoot simultaneously from August 2020 to April 2021 in France. Germany’s Constantin Film and Spain’s DeAPlaneta have come on board to co-produce and have already acquired rights for Germany and Spain.
This marks the most ambitious film project announced in France, if not in Europe (excluding the U.K.), since the start of the pandemic.
Pathé will release theatrically in France and handle the foreign sales. The movie has been pre-bought by M6, OCS and Canal Plus. M6 will also be co-producing.
The Three Musketeers (1973) / Faye Dunaway as Milady de Winter
It’s been a while since I watched these movies, but I’m pretty sure this is from The Three Musketeers and not The Four Musketeers. This beautiful silver gown (looks like satin?) is worn for a nature-themed fancy-dress ball, which explains the butterfly elements.
The costume designer for this film was Yvonne Blake, and I think she did a marvelous job! There’s nothing screamingly anachronistic, and the decoration looks appropriately sumptuous for the French court, with the silver lace and gem-encrusted trim.
One design element I like is the double string of pearls attaching to the central brooch. A single strand coming in from each side would be more expected, but the double strand is more visually interesting.
Book D’Artagnan: Some of my best friends are the most evil people I have ever encountered
One of my favorite thing about reading the sequels was that D’Artagnan spends the entire first book incensed with Rochefort, seeing him as the sign of all things evil- then in the second book they’re just besties.
Literally
They’re both just exhausted and don’t wanna deal with rivalries anymore
Musketeers has ruined flintlock weapons for me. They did such a god job with the flashes in that show I’m always slightly disappointed at everyone else.
Pay your pyrotechnics team a little more. Up your game netflix.
Well, it took FOREVER but I finally finished my sketch of Porthos in his glorious Season 3 armor. Colored pencils and metallic pens on paper with a digital background. Much thanks to @enigma-the-mysterious for finding this pic.
You guys can also follow me on Instagram @ hj_creates_ I post more updates and WIPs and less random reblogs there.
I’m currently listening to the twenty years after audiobook for the very first time and ALL Raoul-Athos interactions make me want to scream Athos is so devoted to his son he absolutely adores him he cares SO MUCH about this boy and I can’t help bracing myself for the worst bc Dumas just keeps pointing out parallels between Raoul and D’Artagnan and remarking on how well fatherhood fits Athos gfhjhkfdg I wouldn’t survive Raoul’s death, it would tear me apart…only thing I can do is keep my fingers crossed and hope in a happy ending…
