of The Three Musketeers, conceived and shot in state-of-the-art 3D.
They are known as Porthos, Athos, and Aramis—three elite warriors who serve the King
of France as his best Musketeers. After discovering an evil conspiracy to overthrow the
King, the Musketeers come across a young, aspiring hero — D’Artagnan — and take him
under their wing. Together, the four embark on a dangerous mission to foil the plot that
not only threatens the Crown, but the future of Europe itself.

FULL STORY SYNOPSIS
*** NOT FOR PUBLICATION ***
The Three Musketeers begins in Venice. The legendary cavaliers, Athos, Porthos and
Aramis, converge in the vaulted chamber of the Doge’s Palace, each with a coded key to
unlock the most treasured secret in Europe—Da Vinci’s designs for the world’s first
airship. Athos’ seductive lover, Milady De Winter, coldly double-crosses the heroes in
favor of the English Duke Of Buckingham. As the Duke snatches Da Vinci’s plans, Athos’
heart is crushed along with the spirit of the Musketeers.
One year later, the young and idealistic D’Artagnan leaves his rural home on a quest for
adventure and the dream of becoming one of the King’s heroic guards.
His ambitions lead him to Paris where he unwittingly crosses the paths of Athos, Porthos
and Aramis – infamously, the three most daring of the Musketeers. At first exhilarated by
the chance encounter, D’Artagnan is bewildered to discover the trio has grown
pessimistic and disillusioned. Their once ferocious lust for life, love and honor has been
quelled by the humiliating failure of their last mission. To make matters worse for the trio,
the new King Louis is a naïve child who is easily manipulated by the Cardinal Richelieu,
who has little use for the talents and bravery of his elite guards. They long for a worthy
cause to reignite their passion to fight for the monarchy and the good of France.
In addition to the Musketeers, D’Artagnan’s attention is caught by Constance, the
Queen’s beautiful lady in waiting. It is love at first sight for D’Artagnan but Constance is
unconvinced by the sincerity of his unsophisticated advances.
Meanwhile, a treacherous plot is unfolding within the palace walls. With the assistance of
the cunning triple agent, Milady De Winter, Cardinal Richelieu is conspiring to destroy the
young King he professes to serve by driving him wild with jealousy. In manipulating a
war with England, the Cardinal will create the perfect opportunity to overthrow the
monarchy and crown himself supreme ruler of France.
With remarkable finesse, Milady steals the Queen’s favorite diamond necklace and plants
it in the quarters of the Tower of London belonging to the Duke of Buckingham - a
notorious cad and womanizer (not to mention, the proud owner of the world’s first
airship). She then forges love-letters from the Duke thanking the Queen for the
diamonds, and strategically leaves them in the royal chambers for the King to find.
2

The Queen is distraught when she discovers the diamonds are missing and realizes the
implications of the Cardinal’s betrayal. Against all the odds, she needs to retrieve the
necklace quickly and quietly or her marriage and the monarchy could be destroyed
forever. Her lady in waiting has an idea.
When Constance goes to D’Artagnan with the predicament, he implores the veteran
Musketeers to join him on the mission. His infectious enthusiasm leaves them little
choice and in haste the fearless group departs for England to find Buckingham and the
Queen’s diamonds before it is too late.
With so much at stake, the resourceful friends must use all their skill and judgment to
keep one step ahead of the Cardinal’s game of power and deceit. D’Artagnan’s voyage
of discovery takes them from the Tower of London, to the awe-inspiring war-ships of the
sky and the rooftops of Notre Dame. For the salvation of France and of themselves, the
legendary Musketeers unite – all for one and one for all!

A NEW CAST FOR A CLASSIC TALE
Jeremy Bolt and director and producing partner Paul W.S. Anderson reunite with Robert
Kulzer to make The Three Musketeers. Much like the titular characters themselves,
these three filmmakers are back together again, this time tackling historical fiction, quite a
departure from their last collaborations.
“I've always been attracted to The Three Musketeers,” says Anderson. “It's a classic
story. I read the book when I was at school. I grew up watching the Richard Lester
version of the movie. And it's a kind of film that I've always wanted to make. For me, it's
a real passion of mine and it has been for a long time. It’s the classic story of heroism,
love, and friendship. It's set in France. But it tells the story of an everyman and that
everyman is D’Artagnan. He's a young man who grows up in the countryside who
dreams of going to the big city and making it big.”
Says producer Jeremy Bolt, ”Paul and I were in Berlin and had been talking about
wanting to film something with this beautiful European architecture. The Oliver Reed
version of the film - which Paul had always loved - came on while I was at the gym, and it
all just clicked together. I pitched it to Paul as soon as I could, We had been looking for a
project that was full of adventure, and we found it in The Three Musketeers.”
Says Kulzer, “Paul and I have done many movies together, usually involving zombies,
monsters and evil forces. However, I think we are finally growing up and Paul has got
married and had a little girl, Ever. Paul is a very passionate father and I think that Ever
has definitely influenced his branching out in a different direction. But I think we all felt
that this was a fantastic opportunity for Paul to show a side of his work and skills that
goes beyond just being an action director and shows that he is really someone who can
tell a story of love with humor and with great spirit.”
Adds Anderson, “A lot of people say it's a big change of pace, doing a period movie after
having done so many science fiction films. And really I don't see it as that different,
because actually science fiction and period movies have a lot in common. If you think
about it, in a science fiction movie, you need to create all the sets, you need to create a
world. Everyone has to wear a costume, everyone has to have a specific hair style. It's
creating a world. And that's exactly what period moviemaking is. You have to create that
world also. And that's what we have done in Three Musketeers.”
He continues, “I think The Three Musketeers is a story that offers for filmmakers the
opportunity to immerse the audience in the world that a modern audience hasn’t seen
before. To immerse the audience in the world of 17 th century Paris is pretty amazing. I
mean, think about it. For me it was very exciting. And also it was very exciting because
really in all the previous versions of The Three Musketeers no one had ever really
presented France and Paris. And I know that may seem strange coming from a filmmaker
who shot his movie in Germany, but the architecture was true French Architecture. And
also what we've been able to do with visual effects is really recreate whole chunks of
Paris that have never been seen before. Notre Dame Cathedral as it was at the time.
The Louvre as it was at the time, these fabulous bridges that arced across the Seine that
had houses built on them, houses and shops and these things have never really been
seen in a movie of The Three Musketeers before.”
Casting for any film is always a crucial stage to ensure a film’s success, but the process
takes on a unique importance when dealing with casting a classic story with well-known
characters.
“This movie was a big challenge in terms of casting because all the actors have to be
funny, they have to be charming and they must be able to deal with their characters
5

individual love issues. This film also requires many of them to fly through the air, sword
fighting, on horseback, on airships etc. So each actor had to be capable of the whole
spectrum of talents,” says Kulzer.
Logan Lerman was cast first in the lead role as D’Artagnan. Says Lerman, “D’Artagnan is
the symbolic youthful, moral character that reignites the Musketeers from their retirement.
At the beginning of the film, when he leaves his small town home, he is a cocky, naïve
kid. He gets a dose of reality when he travels to the big city and meets some immoral
people.
Bolt explains, “we decided to play D’Artagnan as he was portrayed in the book, which
was 17 or 18 years old. He is very smart and, not only physically a great athlete and a
great swordsman, he is also extremely intelligent and good with people. Logan is a very
bright young man and extremely dedicated. We put him with a terrific sword
master/choreographer and he has become a great athlete. He also has a very
sympathetic side to him and it was important to us that our D’Artangnan had that
‘everyman’ quality. He is a country boy from Gascony – essentially, he’s a nobody who
changes the world.
Lerman was excited by the opportunity to work with the director, Paul W.S. Anderson.
He explains, “working with Paul and his team has been a very collaborative experience.
It is nice to have a say on your character and to be able to make small changes so you
feel comfortable with each scene. Paul was always very approachable and open to
ideas.”
Anderson says, “Well Logan Lerman as D’Artagnan, he brings this fiery intensity. Logan
really reminds me of a young Tom Cruise, around Risky Business. He’s just bursting with
intensity. And that's what D’Artagnan is. He can’t wait to leave home, to go to Paris to
seek his fortune, to become a musketeer. And Logan really embodies that. This was his
first time outside of North America; he’d never been to Europe before, so it was very
exciting for him, and it was very exciting for me to kind of put that excitement on film,
because it just pours out of Logan. And then you get to juxtapose him with the kind of
more world weary cynicism of Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson, and Luke Evans.
They've done a lot more movies, they've done a lot more things, they've lived a lot more
life, they're a little more cynical. Lovely guys, but they're world weary a little bit. Which is
exactly what their characters are in the book and in the movie.”
Lerman was equally excited to work with the actors who would be cast as his costars, the
titular Three Musketeers. But his alter ego’s first encounter with them isn’t exactly a
dream come true.
“When he meets the three Musketeers, he is immediately disappointed by them,” says
Lerman. “He thought they would be heroic figures but in reality they are just bored
drunks without any purpose. D’Artagnan changes their lives – he earns their respect and
brings them back together.”
Casting the Musketeers was quite straightforward because each character is described
so distinctively in the Dumas novel; the mysterious Aramis, the larger than life Porthos,
and the melancholic Athos.
“There needed to be a good balance with these actors because the Musketeers are all
equal – they even have approximately the same number of pages in the novel. Matthew
Macfadyen as Athos is brilliant – he has this elegance and grace with an underlying
brooding violence. Porthos is just full of love of life and exuberance, bear hugs, beer and
wine and Ray [Stevenson] just imports this physicality. Luke Evans as Aramis is
extremely handsome but with a dark, mysterious quality,” says Bolt.

“Casting the Three Musketeers was something that I paid very close attention to,” says
Anderson. “I felt that they really had to have a unity. You have to feel that these men
have kind of lived in each other’s pockets for a long time. They actually live together in an
apartment. It's three big guys in this tiny little apartment. And when they go to war, they
go to war together. So you have to really feel this intimacy that they have. And of course
that's very difficult when you cast roles and you hire actors, sometimes, who’ve never met
one another before. And then they're thrown together on a movie.”
Matthew Macfadyen was chosen as the talented but heartbroken Athos. Producer Robert
Kulzer says of the actor, “He plays the role of Athos brilliantly - with elegance and dignity,
but also with a bubbling undercurrent of violence and brutality."
Macfadyen appreciates his role, especially the depth, “Athos has been betrayed by his
lover Milady, who sold him and his friends out to the Duke of Buckingham. As a result,
Athos is quite grumpy and uncommunicative. He is quite a dark character and drinks to
cover his heartbreak.”
But when D’Artagnan arrives in Paris, Athos recognizes in him all the ideals of his own
youth. “He instinctively warms to D’Artagnan because I think he sees echoes of himself
in this young man – I think all the Musketeers do. D’Artagnan is full of life and
exuberance, which Athos is not anymore because he has seen it and done it all – he is in
the doldrums. The relationship he develops with D’Artagnan becomes very paternal – it
is a heart warming story.”
Anderson adds, “Athos is very much the leader of The Three Musketeers. He’s the first
amongst equals because they're a group. But he’s definitely the one they look to for
leadership. He’s also probably the most troubled of the Musketeers. He’s a man who
was deeply in love with a woman who then completely betrayed him. And that has made
him lose faith in not just life, but life, to a certain extent. So when D’Artagnan meets him,
Athos is a cynical, burnt-out man.
“And it really is D’Artagnan's job to re-energize Athos and bring back that flame that
maybe Athos thought was extinguished. And by the end of our movie, D’Artagnan has
given the Three Musketeers and particularly Athos a new sense of drive and purpose.”
Although they are the closest of friends, each of the Musketeers has very individual
personalities. Luke Evans, cast as Aramis, and fan of the story since childhood, talks
about the Musketeer characters and how they relate to the young D’Artagnan in the
movie. “We all have our separate relationships with D’Artagnan. My character, Aramis
becomes like an older brother to him. He sees this young whippersnapper who believes
he is invincible and can rule the world, and watches him make his mistakes. Aramis likes
and cares about D’Artagnan in very brotherly way, even though at times D’Artagnan’s
youthful bravado grates on him. Athos is the father figure, a lovelorn, heart broken father
who sees himself in D’Artagnan. And then we have Porthos, who is a like the bighearted
uncle, always ruffling his hair and slapping him on the back a bit too hard. We all
have our place.”
“Having arrived in Paris and met up with us Musketeers, D’Artagnan starts to develop.
He comes a long way through the course of the movie – it is his rite of passage. A young
boy who has his sight set on big things and he gets knocked back. He falls in love and
he realizes he has to make some big decisions, so he grows an awful lot. We all grow in
the film. D’Artagnan revives the sense of camaraderie, brotherhood and pride in who we
are. At the end of the day D’Artagnan earns his place – he works hard for it but
eventually he becomes the fourth Musketeer.”

Producer Robert Kulzer evaluates Luke Evans as the ideal candidate for Aramis. "He’s a
good looking guy, but also brings a dark, mysterious side into this role."
Evans says, “Aramis was once a priest and he is often found reading the bible or using
his rosary. He is a loyal soul and a very good friend – in the books he never betrays
anyone. He prays for each and every person he has killed in battle. As a Musketeer,
Aramis is a quiet creature - when he fights he is lethal but graceful and agile. He is like a
seventeenth century Batman.”
For Anderson, Aramis is a very interesting character, because he is a complicated man.
“He has a very interesting line which is straight from the book, where he realized that
being a man of God and a man of the cloth was not exactly the same thing. Which I think
speaks to how corrupt the church may have been at that time, and also how the Church
was used as a force for political and social control. So Aramis has lost faith in his religion
and he’s lost faith in his cause, which is to fight for France. He’s lost faith in a different
way to Athos, but both of them are very similar, in that they need a great cause.”
Ray Stevenson plays the larger than life Musketeer, Porthos. He talks about the
research he did in pre-production and how that formed his version of the character: “We
had some creative license on this film to create a bit of a back story for our characters.
Porthos has a different fighting style, he has a particular way of dressing and he has a
different attitude to life, but at heart he has that certain DNA that makes him a musketeer;
that something that keeps and binds the Musketeers together. It was quite fun to have
the opportunity to play around with those ideas.”
Anderson says, “Porthos is the third musketeer and he’s always portrayed in the book as
the kind of giant of the Three Musketeers, and that's really what made Ray Stevenson
perfect for playing him, because Ray is not just a big man, he’s a big presence.”
As a Musketeer Stevenson was involved in many of the fight sequences and was trained
by the German European Championship gold medalist, Imke Duplitzer. Stevenson says
of his trainer, “Imke was wonderful and we were very lucky to have her. When shooting
scenes in 3D, the camera has an all-encompassing view, so everything you do in a fight
has to be on target. The discipline of the fight sequences when you are shooting 3D is at
a much higher level. Don’t forget, you are wielding a big piece of metal around and going
for a target so you have to be much more focused than if you were filming in standard
2D.”
International movie stars Orlando Bloom, Milla Jovovich and Christoph Waltz also joined
the cast.
Orlando Bloom is the devious Duke of Buckingham. “The Musketeers story is a very
famous and remarkable one. I feel like my whole career has been a journey in which I
realize my childhood dreams - this film certainly adds to that. One of the things that most
attracted me to the project was that the role of Buckingham was a very different part for
me to play. I get to be a caddish rogue. Buckingham is not the archenemy but he is a
great rascal of a character. I just knew when I read the script that it was going to be a lot
of fun and great entertainment. I think there is always room in the theatres for a movie
that people can go and just enjoy. This is a movie to marvel and get lost in. Plus I was
excited to work with Paul Anderson after hearing his ideas on the film.”
Director Anderson explains, “In talking about doing The Three Musketeers, I said to
Jeremy, ‘we must have Orlando Bloom in this movie.’ This is before we’d cast anybody
else. I just knew he was the right kind of person to have in the film. But we weren't quite
sure what role he should play. Because to have him as a Musketeer, I thought would
place him too much in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean. I felt that is something he’d
8

done before and he probably wouldn't be interested in doing again. And then one day I
came up with the idea of casting him as the Duke of Buckingham, one of the bad guys of
the movie. And we went to go and have a cup of tea with Orlando in London and I talked
to him about it and he loved it. Because he felt this is exactly what he had wanted to do
for a long time was to break away from the kind of good guys that he’d been playing in
Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean and really let his inner bad guy out. And
he did it with great aplomb. I mean, he really went for it.”
Says Bolt, “Paul and I love to cast against type and Orlando is seen here playing an
antihero – the cunning and caddish Duke of Buckingham. You are going to expect a
goody goody, but you are going to get an extremely roguish, cunning baddy. I think we
are the first to do that with Orlando.
Bloom describes his character: “The Duke of Buckingham was the wealthiest courtier of
his King’s reign and he behaves like a big spoiled brat. He is like a peacock that loves to
show himself off. When Paul and I were discussing the role, he was telling me to think
about the cool rock-stars of our time: David Bowie, Jim Morrison, Mick Jagger –
Buckingham is like a rock star. This is not a Musketeer movie the audience is going to
expect because it doesn’t take itself seriously. There is so much joy, humor and wit in this
piece. Buckingham comes in, has these great moments where he stirs it up with all the
key characters and then leaves again. It has been a lot of fun.”
“Orlando was very engaged with the movie. He loved the role he was playing. He loved
the costumes he was wearing. I think when you make a period movie, and you have
costumes as extravagant as the kind that Orlando wears, I think there’s a great danger
that the costumes end up wearing the actor. But the costume should just become an
extension of his character. And I think Orlando thought about that a lot and he embodied
that when we were shooting the movie,” says Anderson.
Milla Jovovich has been a fan of the Dumas stories since childhood. She explains her
attraction to the time-honored role of Milady De Winter. “For me, The Three Musketeers
is the classic, action packed, fun book that you can’t stop reading once you’ve started.
Dumas was a fantastic writer, every chapter leaves you hanging, wanting to know what
happens next.
“I was involved from the very beginning when Paul [Anderson] started working with
Andrew Davies to write the script for the movie. Milady is one of my favorite characters in
historical literature. I was just so happy that Paul was going in a different direction with
his filmmaking and that I could potentially have the chance to play such an iconic
character.”
“Milla is an incredible history buff,” says Anderson. “I’ve never met anyone who kind of
knows more about European history. She reads all the time. She was very interested
even long before I started talking about doing The Three Musketeers, in the whole time
I've known her, she’s been very interested in period etiquette and she’s read books about
that and about the royal court. And of course she’s a fashion designer. So she knew all
about the dresses. This was a period that she was fascinated with. And had a lot of kind
of passion and knowledge to bring to that role.”
Jovovich talks about Milady as a character and how she embodies the qualities of a
strong, independent woman of today. “I have always looked at Milady as one of the most
modern women in literature. She is single, incredibly smart and able to go in and out of
different societies effortlessly. It takes a very strong and clever woman to be able to
navigate in a man’s world, especially in the 17 th century when a woman could be sent
away to a nunnery or an asylum for speaking back to her husband. To be a woman that
is smart enough to manipulate these men is a great accomplishment.”
9

Jovovich talks about Milady’s darker side: “I am very proud to play this part - for me it is
not just about portraying the bad guy. It is true, she does not do everything by the book,
but she is not a normal woman. She is not just a pretty girl who sits around waiting for
men to do things for her. She definitely lies, cheats and steals but that is what all the
guys are doing, too! The only difference is that she is a woman. I find a lot of sympathy
with her. She is branded a bad woman but I respect how she lives her life.”
“Milady De Winter is a double agent, she’s a spy, she’s a tough girl. And I think there’s a
tendency in period movies for tough girls to kind of repress their femininity. And play the
roles more like men,” adds Anderson.
Says Bolt, “Milla embodies this incredible force – she is such a strong presence. I can’t
imagine her ever playing an ordinary person and Milady de Winter is absolutely not
ordinary. She is a triple agent, undercover operative with multiple pseudonyms - a
woman way ahead of her time. Milla felt she could bring something very new and distinct
to this character and she has embraced the part. Fans of her previous work will not be
disappointed.
From all of her work on the Resident Evil franchise, Jovovich is more than comfortable
with a little stunt work. “I love to do my own stunts,” she says. “It’s an opportunity I’ve
always embraced and something my fans appreciate, so I’m always keen to do as much
as I can on my own.
“I have one major action sequence which I did myself – it involves a lot of sword work,
which I love, so it was a lot of fun. I have to fight off ten guards whilst in full Milady
costume. I don’t think anyone has ever done an action sequence in this kind of dress with
huge skirts, petticoats and corsets, so it will be a bit of a challenge. It is good because
Milady is an innovative character – always the first to do something – so I am very happy
that she is the one that gets the first female action sequence in a corset and big dress –
she deserves it.”
Anderson agrees, “It was a huge challenge, but actually looks spectacular. Because no
one had ever tried to do that before. And Milla put a huge amount of effort into blocking
her fight scene, where she was fighting with a big dress and two swords and spinning
over people’s backs with the petticoats going everywhere. Technically incredible
difficulty, but visually just something you've never-ever seen before.”
Christoph Waltz plays the devious and all-powerful Cardinal Richelieu. “It was delightful
working with Christoph,” says Anderson. “He really is a gentleman. I met him in Los
Angeles and this was one of the first movies he signed to do after he won the Oscar. He
was a lover of The Three Musketeers. I think that's one of the things you will find in
common with nearly all of the actors. And nearly everyone behind the scenes is a Three
Musketeers fan. Everyone was really excited to make a Three Musketeers movie. And
whereas my Three Musketeers movie was the Richard Lester version, that's the version I
grew up with, Christoph remembers seeing the Gene Kelly version when he was at
school. And they would play that repeatedly at school. So he always had like a
childhood dream to be in a Musketeer movie. So for him it was very much a dream come
true.”
Like many fine actors, his approach to the role was one of research and appreciation for
the period of the film. “I read biographies and did some research on Richelieu, and it is
important to do that in order to draw inspiration, but the performance I give at the end of
the day has nothing to do with the real Richelieu. It is my real Richelieu,” says Waltz. “He
has the power - Richelieu has more power than anyone in France. He simply has to
10

arrange matters so that everything runs smoothly. It is not so much at existential thing,
it’s a diplomatic thing. It is a power game.”
Anderson says of his actor, “he asked a lot of very smart questions about the movie. He
wanted to know how his Cardinal Richelieu was going to be different to any other
Cardinal Richelieu. And I said, what we're going to do is we're actually going to be the
first movie to portray him as the man he really was.”
“Christoph Waltz is mesmerizing to watch – he is a real master,” says Bolt. “We shouldn’t
underestimate the brilliance of the Dumas novel. It is a masterpiece and the characters
are phenomenal, so we had to bring in actors who had the ability to live up to that. With
Christoph we have exceeded expectations. I feel extremely lucky to have him in the
movie.”
Stevenson talks about this experience of working with the director, Paul W.S. Anderson:
“Paul has a genuine enthusiasm for this project – this sheer joy of filming every stage of
this movie is infectious. He is a visual director and his command of telling a story through
motion picture is second to none. It is no surprise to me that he is now coming to the 3D
table. What I think is interesting is how this classical tale will hang on a 3D stage. We all
know what 3D can give you visually, but can you follow a dramatic narrative in that sense
when it is not action lead. The action comes from the narrative rather than the other way
around. I think it is going to work incredibly well. The audience is going to need
massages when they leave the cinema because they will feel as though they have been
inside the fights with us – it’s very exciting.”
Macfadyen comments, “Paul has a non-stop enthusiasm and energy – and I don’t mean
in an ridiculous way. He just has a very constant energy. That quality is so important for
a director because, if nothing else, as an actor you look to him to keep your spirits up. ”
LOCATIONS
The Three Musketeers was filmed on location in some of Germany’s most breathtaking
towns and cities throughout Bavaria, and at Babelsberg Film Studios in Berlin.
Says Anderson, “The Three Musketeers is set in France. But the interesting thing about
Bavaria is that a lot of the castles and palaces that were built there were built at a time
where it was very fashionable to kind of emulate French architecture and also Italian
architecture. And the opening of our version of The Three Musketeers takes place in
Venice and then the action shifts to Paris. So in a way Bavaria was perfect, because it
had a fantastic mix of Italian and French architecture.”
Filming kicked off on location in Bamberg, within a historical courtyard situated on the
Domplatz. The site doubled for Coopers Yard, the meeting point D’Artagnan chooses for
his duels with Athos, Porthos and Aramis. The duel is interrupted by the arrival of
Rochefort and the Cardinal’s guards, who are subsequently flattened by the Three
Musketeers and their new young friend. Says Lerman, “for me, staring off with the huge
fight was definitely an interesting way to begin – jumping straight into the high action. I
remember I was the first one out of the four of us to film his part of the fight. Stepping up
to the plate was nerve wracking to say the least. I’m very competitive so I wanted to
show what I was made of and really put all the hard training to use.”
The Domplatz was transformed into 17 th Century Calais, where our heroes discover the
route to England has been blocked. Filming also took place on Obere Brücke (Upper
Bridge) and under the ornate building that was once the town hall. The crew worked
through the night to film the scenes outside the Musketeers’ apartment, where Rochefort
11

and his guards arrive to arrest them by force if they refuse surrender. The town hall was
built in the middle of the 14 th century. In addition to the stunning architecture, and the
Baroque and Rococo style interior, the frescos are particularly impressive due to their
plasticity.
Says Lerman, “I personally loved Bamberg – I was blown away by it. We also had a lot
of fun there. The cast and crew were all staying in the same hotel in this little town so we
could hang out after work and at the weekends. It was a real bonding experience.”
Next stop on the tour was Burghausen to film within the historic castle walls. One area
doubled for Meung, where D’Artagnan stops on his journey to Paris and is given a lesson
in reality by Rochefort. Burghausen was also the location used as the bustling Parisian
market, in which D’Artagnan chases after Rochefort, but bumps into Athos, Porthos and
Aramis instead.
Burghausen boasts the longest castle complex in Europe, stretching over 3281 feet in
length. Dating back to the 12 th century, the castle is picturesquely situated between the
Salzach River and Wohrsee Lake, at the foothills of the Alps.
Stevenson comments, “Each location had its own character. The way the set [Parisian
Market] in Burghausen was dressed was incredible – your eye never has a place to land
which will just be enhanced by the 3D. We also shot in places like the Residenz and the
Antiquariam in Munich which has never been filmed before.”
Next, the crew traveled to the far northern tip of Bavaria to film the splendor of the Louvre
at the Würzburg Residenz and gardens. Crowds gathered daily to catch a glimpse of
The Three Musketeers cast including Christoph Waltz, Orlando Bloom and Milla
Jovovich.
Jovovich talks about the importance of filming on location in the historical towns and
cities of Bavaria: “The locations are really what give this movie the authenticity and the
scope. We could have chosen to film in France but the French countryside is so
modernized that you wouldn’t be able to film wide shots of the castles the way that you
can in Bavaria. Paul and the whole team were able to scout these incredible historical
castles and palaces that enabled him to really back up with the camera and get an
awesome scope. This is especially important for this film because depth and scope are
crucial for 3D.”
Built between 1720 and 1780, the palace is the former residence of the Würzburg princebishops.
During World War II it was heavily damaged but it underwent extensive
restoration and re-opened in 1987. It is now on UNESCO’s World Heritage list.
Schloss Weissenstein in Pommersfelden was the palatial country house used as the
interior Venetian safe house set. This is where the Musketeers’ celebration is cut short
by the arrival of Buckingham and the betrayal of Milady. The room used for filming was
intricately decorated with shells and mirrors encrusted into the walls giving the room an
almost aquatic quality.
Filming on location in Bavaria was a treat for Macfadyen, he explains, “It was seemingly
endless; beautiful location after beautiful location, each more wonderful and amazing
than the last. My favorite was a 17 th Century Schloss in Pommersfelden. We filmed the
scene in the Venetian Safe House where Milady double-crosses the three Musketeers.
The room we were filming in was vast and exquisite with shells and tiny mirrors
decorating the walls. The art department placed water baths outside so the water
reflected and made a light effect on the ceiling – it was utterly beautiful. I felt very lucky
and privileged to be working there.”
12

Moving on, the film crew set up base at Chiemsee and had to get a water taxi each
morning over to the island home of the Royal Palace of Herrenchiemsee. Arguably the
most decadent of all the palaces used during the location shoot of The Three
Musketeers; this palace was the brainchild of King Ludwig II and was intended to be a
copy of Versailles Palace. Ludwig died in 1886 before the building was complete.
However, it still boasts the State Bedroom complete with an 8 ½ ft bed, and The Mirror
Gallery which is almost 328 feet long and decorated with over 1,800 candles.
Several impressive rooms and the famous French gardens at Herrenchiemsee were used
as locations in the film. The site doubled for the French Louvre, the residence of King
Louis and Queen Anne.
Back in Munich, the crew set up for their final location within the Great Hall of
Schleissheim. The magnificent white room served as Cardinal Richelieu’s office – a
perfect reflection of the character’s cold, stark heart.
On Day 33, after six weeks on location, the crew packed up and moved to Berlin to
complete filming at Bablesberg Studios, Potsdam.
COSTUMES
Among the many ways that this version of the classic story has been retold for a new
generation, is a complete update to the wardrobe of all characters in The Three
Musketeers. Costume designer Pierre-Yves Gayraud had his work cut out for him in
finding a unique way to dress the well-known characters, while staying true to the period.
Paul W.S. Anderson says, “I didn't want to go for total realism. I wanted to go for a kind of
hyper real look. Pierre-Yves and I worked on that for a long time. “
Says Gayraud, “When I spoke with Paul for the first time, he told me he didn’t want the
costumes to be traditional, he wanted them to have a rock attitude – especially for Milady
and the Musketeers. However, as things developed, Paul became interested in looking
at more period references. He liked them, so the result is a real mixture – not quite 17 th
century, not quite rock star.”
“The costume designer did an amazing job,” praises Stevenson. “He has designed these
wonderful costumes that all sit so well within the flamboyant surroundings. He has
managed to create costumes with just the right degree of theatricality – it is going to be
an incredibly visually rich movie to watch, enhanced by 3D.”
Gayraud continues: “We used a lot of color and, of course, working with 3D meant we
had a really good opportunity to play with textures and give everything lots of extra
volume.
With a background in the fashion industry, Jovovich enjoyed working with Pierre-Yves
Gayraud on the costume for Milady’s wardrobe. “Fashion is something I love; it has
always been a big interest of mine. Working on costumes for characters is really
important because this is the point when your character really comes to life.”
Gayraud explains, “The clothes of the 17 th Century were actually not very sexy – they
were quite drab and heavy, especially for the women, so we knew we did not want to go
too traditional. For men, it was slightly easier to make the traditional look modern
because the silhouette remained the same; they still basically wore boots, jeans and flight
jacket. The women of this period were very strict and not particularly glamorous. So, we
13

decided to change the volume for the corset, and we mixed it with Christian Dior’s
silhouette from the 1950s by lowering the top edge of the skirts to just below hip-level.”
“When I was a little girl, I have more memories of being in fancy dress than not, but I
never dressed up as a Queen. This is a first, laughs Juno Temple, who plays Queen
Anne. “These costumes were extraordinary - it feels pretty wonderful to be in a corset
with a beautiful skirt, showing of cleavage, collar bones and necks, and being very regal.”
Gabriella Wilde, who plays the Queen’s lady in waiting, Constance agrees. “When you
get in to these costumes, you immediately feel different. The dresses force you to stand
and move in a certain way – you really feel what is must have been like for these women.
I actually get to dress up as a boy as well in this film, so that is fun,” she says.
Due to the stylized look they had created, Pierre-Yves Gayraud and his team had to
produce over 400 unique costumes by hand. He explains: “We had three different places
to make the costumes. We started with a workshop in Paris, where we made our prototype
pieces and worked on the silhouettes we wanted for the men and the women. When
that was established, we moved to Romania to start producing the costumes. It wasn’t
until the first week in August that we arrived in Munich to start fitting them with the artists
that would be wearing them in the film. It really was a huge challenge timing-wise. We
were completing items right up until the moment the costumes were needed on set.”
Another challenge for Gayraud was the action element of the film, he explains. “Usually,
I would use old pieces of fabric from movies I have worked on before but for this one it
wasn’t possible because of the amount of duplication necessary to cover the action
scenes. We decided instead to use modern fabrics and then work on them. We would
make a lot of embroidery and add prints to make them unique. Sometimes we would
need five or six duplications of one dress – so it would have been nearly impossible to
find antique material in that quantity.”
Bloom talks about his unique costume and how it helped to bring the character to life for
him: “We had a great rehearsal period and I had already done some work on my
character’s dialect, voice, movement, and physicality… and then I got my costume. You
just don’t mess around when you have a costume like The Duke’s! For a film like this, it
is definitely a great help but it was also something I had to learn to get comfortable in.
These outfits are not something you get to wear everyday. There is nothing comfy about
my suits but they do look amazing!”
“These costumes just pop your eyes and blow your irises out of your face, says Freddie
Fox. “Louis is very interested in fashion but he is not a fashion whore. He wants to look
the best because he must be the centre of attention. He especially wants to show in front
of the Duke of Buckingham, who tends to be one step ahead of him in the fashion
stakes.”
Producer Jeremy Bolt echoes the praise of the cast. “Pierre-Yves has demonstrated to
me how the costumes are equally as important to a film as good lighting. Costumes are
a running theme in The Three Musketeers; the King is very much into fashion and
Buckingham is like the fashion icon of the 17th Century, so we have a lot of fun with the
idea of fashion throughout the film,” he says.
Adds Anderson, “Pierre-Yves is a genius, there’s no doubt about it, and he’s definitely the
one authentic French thing in the movie. He built beautiful costumes and he built
costumes that were true to the 17 th century, but altered slightly.”

PRODUCTION DESIGN
Paul Austerberry talks about of the look and feel of the film: “It is a modern take on a
period movie. We are obviously supposed to be set in the 17 th century, but we have
incorporated a lot of modern elements; it is stylized with clean, stark lines and bright color
palates. It is more of a comic book period movie than a real period drama.”
He continues on the director’s style and how that impacted decisions he needed to make
with regards to the location element of the shoot: “Paul Anderson’s middle name initials
are “W.S.” – he loves the wide shot. This is fantastic for the art department because he
always wants to show all the work we do. Paul likes things to be very symmetrical, which
gives a very stylized look. Everything we do is in a really wide lens, usually an 18mm
lens, and everything looks bigger than it actually is. We have gone to these really
amazing locations, which are already large, and used a very wide lens, low to the ground,
and it captures the whole world. It is fantastic because you get all the scenery
surrounding these wonderful sets, and it is more realistic for the actors. It is a subtle
thing with Paul but it is all right there, in your face.”
“Quite often in modern day fantasy and period movies a lot is done with green screen, but
we had the advantage of having these fantastically huge locations. And I wanted to fill
them with hundreds of extras,” says Anderson.
He adds, “the most challenging things have nothing to do with just size and scale and
numbers. One of the scenes that was probably the most difficult, although you may not
think it, is the bridge that we shot in Bamberg. It's a beautiful kind of medieval bridge
across the river. And but because it's tight and it's confined, it was difficult to work on.
Then we had a lot of flaming torches, and there’s always the potential danger of that.
Especially when you have eighty or ninety people carrying flaming torches in an action
scene.”
As the production designer, Austerberry was part of the scouting team that settled on
Bavaria for most of the location work for The Three Musketeers. “I wasn’t sure what to
expect from the locations but they are fantastic. We were looking for some Italian and
French locations and of course Bavaria has a lot of Italian influenced architecture. Many
people wanted to have their Schlosses [palaces] designed in Italian style years ago, or
have part of an Italian Grotto built in their grounds, so we managed to get a lot of the
correct style of buildings from South Germany.”
“The sets that we have in the film bring a sense of reality to the movie, and a sense of
grandeur and scale that I think will really shock people when they see it. These locations
that we used in Bavaria are so big. Because these palaces were built on the scale that
no one constructs anymore. I don't care if you're the richest man in the world, you don't
build a house or a mansion as big as Ludwig II built his mansions. So you're dealing with
a scale of architecture that doesn't exist in the modern world,” says Anderson.
However, shooting in real locations presented its own set of challenges. Austerberry
explains: “First of all we had to get permission to shoot in these protected locations.
Some of the places we wanted to film were highly protected by their historical society, so
it was difficult to get in there. Once we did, we had to decorate the sets. A lot of our
pieces were genuine 17 th Century items from France. For every piece of furniture we
brought in to the buildings, we had to produce a certificate declaring there was no
questionable past – ensuring we weren’t bringing termites into the Schlosses.”
Anderson says, “Filming in all of these locations, you had to take special precautions. So
quite often, the camera equipment could not touch the floor. In fact, we would have to
kind of lay carpeting and then Styrofoam and then wooden boards and then more
15

Styrofoam and then more wooden boards, and then more carpeting, and then we could
put the equipment on top of that. So that we didn't affect the historic buildings in any
way, which was a lot of extra work for us. And it meant the camera equipment was quite
often it was that high off the ground. But to shoot in such beautiful places, it's worth the
effort.”
He continues, “I’d often say to Paul, ‘how much would it cost to build this if we built it as a
set?’ And he would look at it and he would go, not only would you never ever be able to
afford to build this, but you could never build it, even with all the money in the world,
because the level of detail and the craftsmanship that exists here doesn't exist in the
world anymore. The way these things are carved and detailed no one does that. That's
kind of a lost art. So really in a way, these locations are providing a kind of glimpse into
the reality of an opulent past that I think most people have not seen before. And what we
chose to do is we took real locations and then we adapted them to our use.
One example of such an adaptation was the map of Europe on Richelieu’s office floor.
Austerberry took an amazing white room in Obescheiseim and made the map fit
seamlessly but look like it's inlaid into the marble floor.
Says Anderson, “We adapted a lot of locations into what fit in the script rather than
building just small sets. And then the sets that we built tended to be around the airships
in the movie. And we built a lot of those. Because although there’s an element of green
screen, in those sets certainly, I'm not a big fan of green screen. I would rather build as
much of a real set as possible. Gives the actors more to interact with and also makes the
finished visual effects more realistic.”
Austerberry adds, “there were actually no airships around until the 18 th century.
However, there are lots of 17 th Century drawings of airships and they are often depicted
as just regular ships hanging beneath a big air balloon - I guess so that if they landed on
water, they could float. We took that idea to the extreme and based our airship on a
Galleon of the period, modified it slightly and suspended it under a huge balloon. Paul’s
vision for these airships was like a 17 th century Death Star – the first time we see it
looming over the Louvre in Paris it had to be vast. We take big liberties with gravity and
physics, but it makes for an impressive vehicle.”
“The first time I saw the sets in Babelsburg, the thing that came to mind is ‘damn they're
big,’” laughs Anderson. “I mean, they are undoubtedly my favorite set that I've ever had
built in all the movies I've made. These fantastic three story huge ships were wonderful.
And they were hugely expensive to make. A lot of effort and time and money went into
them. It would have been a lot easier just to have actors standing against a green screen
and then put the ships in digitally. But I felt that would really lack the authenticity of
having like these really big sets. That we could then digitally enhance. So we went for it,
we built these giant ships that were very difficult to film on.”
Talking about the use of color, Austerberry said: “We have tried to push the limits of color
and style in every way possible. For example, Richelieu’s office is a vast, high ceilinged
room that is completely painted white with very small details of black and gold. It is
incredibly stark and cold which contrasts strongly with the Cardinal’s blood red robes and
the costumes of his guards, who are dressed in red with shiny black armor.”
Austerberry explains how working on a 3D set effects his work as the production
designer: “This is my first 3D movie. It is not radically different because I always like to
provide a foreground, mid-ground and background. However, in 3D I have to think about
it a bit more. I can’t bring things too close to the camera; we have to give room for the
extra equipment on the set because the cameras are a lot bigger and require more crew.
16

This was true of the interior of the airship – we had to stretch the set to make enough
room for the 3D camera, the crew and the actors to squeeze into the hull of the boat.
“I also get to play around with layering. It especially cool when the camera moves across
layers – items you didn’t know where there suddenly pop out in 3D. It has been a lot of
fun.”
3D MUSKETEERS
For these filmmakers, the decision to shoot in 3D was an easy one. “We are shooting in
3D because Paul does not want to shoot in any other format”, laughs Bolt. “Having shot
Resident Evil: Afterlife in 3D, he is complete convert. For him it is the same as when they
introduced sound to the movies in the early part of the last century. I cannot pitch
projects to Paul unless he can film them in 3D. Paul has such a visual style; he loves the
symmetry, the foreground, mid-ground and background objects. 3D wouldn’t work with a
director who is much more about the written word – it is a tremendously visually
challenging medium, and the director has to be visually brilliant to make the most of it.”
Anderson says, “3D for me is a major paradigm shift in cinema and that's what makes
making movies especially now very exciting. Just as when cinema went from silent
movies to talkies, or went from black and white to color photography, I think going from
two dimensions to three is just the next natural progression in cinema. I'm very excited to
be kind of working on the cutting edge of that.”
“This was my second 3D movie,” he adds. The last Resident Evil film, Resident Evil:
Afterlife, I learned a huge amount about 3D and about visual effects in 3D. We chose
deliberately to use almost the same team behind the cameras we did on Resident Evil,
because I built up a team that I trusted. We’d all learned together. And I wanted to take
advantage of that for The Three Musketeers.
The Three Musketeers marks the second 3D collaboration after Resident Evil: Afterlife
between director and producer Paul W.S. Anderson, cinematographer Glen MacPherson
and CAMERON | PACE Group.
The film was shot using the same 3D camera system that Avatar used, ARRI’s new
ALEXA digital cameras outfitted on the latest CAMERON | PACE Group FUSION 3D
system. Two ALEXA’s are mounted on a “split beam mirror” rig, where one camera is
mounted on top of the other, with one camera filming straight through the mirror and a
second camera filming downward through the reflection captured on the mirror. The 3D
effect is controlled by the FUSION 3D system. Because it was filmed in native FUSION
3D, filmmakers were able to view scenes in 3D on set as they were being shot.
“I approach 3D filmmaking not as an add-on but as a very holistic approach. Everything
about the movie has to be 3D. We start by writing a script that is a 3D script. That has
action set pieces in it and descriptions of places that think about the depth that 3D likes
and loves. Then we design sets that emphasize the 3D. I choose locations that work
well in 3D. We choose to shoot fight scenes in the rain, because rain looks great in 3D.”
While Paul W.S. Anderson is also renowned for his work in 3D, the medium that was a
first for Lerman working in front the camera. “I had never been to a 3D set before so the
whole world of 3D technology was Greek to me when we started. I was really excited to
learn how they make the films in 3D. Actually, as an actor, I can say it is easier in some
ways because you get digital playback, in great quality and in 3D – it is pretty awesome
to see precisely what you are filming.”
17

Already well experienced in filming in 3D, Jovovich explains what the medium will bring to
The Three Musketeers, “I think Paul is really taking 3D to a whole new level with this
film. No one has ever filmed a historical piece in 3D and yet it suits the period so well.
When you see these amazing castles, landscapes, gardens and the costumes in 3D it will
be like walking into a storybook. The audience is going to be able to go to the theatre
and be immersed in a past time, which is so rich and beautiful. We have never seen
anything like it before in 3D.”
Lerman agrees, “A lot of people have asked me why we would re-make The Three
Musketeers in 3D. The truth is, we have such incredible technology these days and 3D
transports you straight into that time period unlike any other Musketeers film before. It is
a really immersive – you put the glasses on and you are there, in the middle of the
action.”
Producer Kulzer continues, “I think all big adventure movies going forward will be shot in
3D. We all had a very strong sensation after Resident Evil: Afterlife that we needed to
find our next big spectacle that we could shoot in 3D. This movie is perfect because we
have these phenomenally symmetrical pieces of architecture; these beautiful buildings,
castles and parks, and they lend themselves perfectly to 3D photography. I believe it will
add a lot of value to the movie – not just for fans of action movies but also for fans of
historical buildings or beauty in general. They will experience these locations in a way
they have never been seen before, in beautiful 3D cinematography.”
WHAT AUDIENCES CAN EXPECT
Jeremy Bolt tells us what the cinema goers can expect when The Three Musketeers in
3D is released theatrically: “You can expect something unlike you have ever seen
before; the swords will move faster than you have ever seen in a sword movie; the
costumes will be more colorful than you will believe, the action will be more like a science
fiction movie; the locations will be staggering, and the story is unforgettable.”
Macfadyen said, “I don’t think we are setting out to be a different Musketeers – more a
Musketeers for a new generation. We have a great script, a wonderful cast and crew,
phenomenal locations and I think these ingredients will naturally create a fresh take on
what is a romping good story. With universal themes of love, loyalty and friendship, I
hope it will be as pertinent and relevant as it possibly can be.”
Taking the role of Porthos was great fun for Stevenson: “When I used to go to the
cinema as a child, there was really only these epic adventures on the big screen and to
find yourself doing it in reality is living the dream! We have been riding horses and
fighting with swords – it is a tremendous way to live a life and to make a living. If you are
all going to work together and you are going to entertain people, you have to get involved
in that sense of adventure. Everybody needs to be enchanted – sometimes you just
need to be taken on an inspirational journey of excitement and adventure, and that is the
essence of The Three Musketeers.”
Stevenson talks about what excites him about Paul W.S. Anderson’s version of The
Three Musketeers. “I hope we are providing this generation with a great adventure.
Showing them that there is still room for real excitement and that spirit to go out and
experience life and go with a good heart. It would be great if this film gets one person to
say ‘enough with video games, I’m going to stand on this mountain, I’m going to do a
passage on a boat, I’m doing to build a school in that rain forest’. There are still
adventures to be had and it is all out there waiting to be taken.”
18

Anderson concludes, “I think there are many things that make the Dumas tale very
intriguing. Chief among them is that it's probably the best and most classic story of
heroism and friendship that I've ever read. The classic line, ‘All for one and one for All.” It
really is an awesome tale. And those things never go out of style--heroics, friendship,
romance.
“I don't care whether you're ten years old or you're a hundred years old, those are things
that appeal and they appeal right now in 2011 and they appealed just as much in 1911.
A hundred years can go by and people are still interested in those very basic things.
These are the things that are at the core of the The Three Musketeers.”
LOGAN LERMAN (D’Artagnan)
THE CAST - BIOGRAPHIES
Logan Lerman has come of age in the entertainment industry with an impressive body of
work. He maintains a fearless pursuit of challenging roles, evolving with each new
project; fast becoming one of Hollywood's most in-demand young actors, for both
independent and mainstream film.
Lerman recently completed production on the indie coming-of-age drama, The Perks of
Being a Wallflower, alongside Emma Watson, Paul Rudd, Ezra Miller and Mae Whitman.
Lerman stars as Charlie, a shy 15-year old coping with love, friendship, loss, and
heartbreak. Produced by John Malkovich and his team at Mr. Mudd, the film will be
released by Summit Entertainment in 2012.
Lerman will soon star in The Only Living Boy in New York for director Seth Gordon. This
unconventional coming-of-age tale tells the story of a young man (Lerman) who tracks
down his father's mistress to end their affair, only to become romantically involved with
the woman as well.
In 2010, Lerman was seen as the title character in Chris Columbus' Percy Jackson & the
Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Based on Rick Riordan's best-selling book series, the
film is about a trouble-prone teen that discovers he is the descendent of a Greek god and
sets out on an adventure to settle an on-going battle between the gods.
Lerman began his film career landing a role as the youngest son in Roland Emmerich's
war drama The Patriot, opposite Mel Gibson. That same year, he appeared as the
younger version of Gibson's adult character in Nancy Meyers' romantic comedy What
Women Want. Additional film credits include Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber's The
Butterfly Effect; Will Schriner's Hoot; Joel Schumacher's The Number 23; Penny
Marshall's Riding in Cars with Boys; James Mangold's critically-acclaimed remake of 3:10
to Yuma; Bernie Goldmann and Melisa Wallack's Meet Bill; Richard Loncraine's My One
and Only; and Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor's Gamer.
On the small screen, Lerman made his mark in WB's dramatic series, “Jack and Bobby,”
portraying Bobby McCallister, in a show that followed the lives of two brothers as they
went to high school and generally matured, and one goes on to become President of the
United States. Prior to that, Lerman appeared in the made-for-television film, A Painted
House, winning him his first of three Young Artist Awards.

Logan Lerman grew up in Los Angeles, California and began his professional career as
an actor at the age of five.
MILLA JOVOVICH (Milady de Winter)
Milla Jovovich has successfully established herself as a highly regarded, international
model and actress. Jovovich, (pronounced "mee-luh" "yo-vo-vitch") has transitioned
effortlessly to a full time actress, starring in over two-dozen films.
Star of the Resident Evil franchise, Jovovich reprised her role as ‘Alice’ in the fourth
installment of the film for Sony Screen Gems. In Resident Evil: Afterlife, Alice is on a
mission to save survivors in from falling victim to the Undead in a world ravaged by a
virus infection. Written and directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, the film was released
nationwide on September 10, 2010, and has grossed over $295 million worldwide.
In October 2010, Jovovich starred alongside Academy Award winner Robert DeNiro and
Academy Award nominee Edward Norton in Stone. In February 2011, Jovovich starred in
the Russian-language romantic comedy “Vykrutasy,” which opened in Russia at Number
1.
Jovovich completed production on two independent films, including “Faces in the Crowd,”
a psychological thriller centering on a woman (Jovovich) who barely survives an attack by
a serial killer and wakes up in hospital with a head injury that leaves her “face-blind”
(prosopagnosia). In “Dirty Girl,” Jovovich stars alongside William H. Macy and Juno
Temple. Dirty Girl” is a comedic story of the search for identity and the redemptive power
of unexpected friendship. The film is written and directed by Abe Sylvia and will be
released on August 5, 2011 by the Weinstein Company.
At the age of eleven, Jovovich was spotted by photographer Richard Avedon, who
featured her in Revlon's "Most Unforgettable Women in the World" advertisements. In
October 1987, she was on the cover of the Italian fashion magazine Lei, her first of many
covers. In 1988, she signed her first professional modeling contract.
Milla's breakout role was as Leeloo, the perfect being in Luc Besson's The Fifth Element
(1997). She later starred in several other action movies besides the “Resident Evil” trilogy
such as Ultraviolet (2006), A Perfect Getaway (2009), and The Fourth Kind (2009).
Milla has also been in several comedies and dramas, including Spike Lee's He Got
Game (1998), The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc (1999), The Claim (2000), The
Million Dollar Hotel (2000), Zoolander (2001), Dummy (2003), No Good Deed (2003) and
You Stupid Man (2003).
Milla is an ambassador for amfAR (The Foundation for AIDS Research) and also

grew up in as her family sold her childhood home. Evans earned many fans and turned
the heads of critics and journalists both stateside and internationally for his charming
performance.

presence made him the perfect choice for leading roles such as 'Chris' in “Miss Saigon”
and ‘Roger’ in “Rent.”
Evans made his UK feature film debut in the role of ‘Clive’ in the 2009 British
Independent Film Academy nominated feature Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll,”Mat
Whitecross’s biopic of the London punk-rock scene founder Ian Dury of Ian Dury and the

Hood, playing the Sheriff's head henchman to Russell Crowe’s interpretation of ‘Robin

PAUL W.S. ANDERSON - Director/Writer
THE CREW – BIOGRAPHIES
Director, producer, and writer Paul W.S. Anderson has become internationally known for
his action-packed, edge-of-your-seat films. All together, his films have grossed over $1.1
billion worldwide, with #1 weekends around the globe – an accomplishment that puts him
in an elite group of filmmakers. Anderson turns epic stories into must-see movies, having
launched four successful film franchises, and tackled diverse subjects such as classic
literature, science fiction, video game franchises, and historical fiction.
Next, Anderson will direct the fifth installment of the Resident Evil franchise, which has
made $675 million worldwide to date. Also set for an early 2012 shoot is Pompeii, an epic
love story set against the backdrop of the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD again in 3D
for Constantin Film and Summit Entertainment.
Paul’s first film was 1994’s low-budget success Shopping, which Anderson wrote and
directed. Starring Sadie Frost and Jude Law (with an appearance by legendary singer
Marianne Faithful), this dark film about joyriding and ram-raiding British youth was
banned in some UK theatres, but established Anderson’s flare for high-impact action.
Shopping paved the way to Hollywood for Anderson, and 1995’s Mortal Kombat became
Anderson’s first American No.1 box-office smash. It was also the first successful movie
adaptation of a videogame. The triumph of Mortal Kombat quickly established Anderson
as the man who could take the game off the television and make it explode on the big
screen, and into a successful franchise. Sidestepping offers to direct a sequel to Mortal
Kombat, Anderson chose instead to turn his attention to science fiction. His next
directorial projects included Soldier and Event Horizon. Blade Runner screenwriter David
Peoples wrote Soldier as a “sidequel” to the bleakly powerful Blade Runner. Now
considered a cult classic, Event Horizon starred Laurence Fishburne, Sam Neill, Jason
Isaacs and Joely Richardson.
Anderson returned to adapting videogames for the big screen with the survival horror
Resident Evil (2002), starring Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez. Anderson wrote,
directed and produced the feature. A resounding commercial success, the movie
spawned Anderson’s second successful franchise that includes No.1 hits Resident Evil:
Apocalypse (2004) and Resident Evil: Extinction (2007). Anderson wrote and produced
the sequels with Impact Pictures partner, Jeremy Bolt.
Anderson confirmed his box-office power when he wrote and directed the highly
anticipated AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004). This kicked off Anderson’s third successful
franchise; the movie opened at No.1 and went on to be the highest-grossing film in both
the Alien and Predator series.
In 2008, Anderson’s Death Race, starring Jason Statham and Joan Allen, rolled into
theaters. Anderson’s film was a remake of the 1975 cult classic Death Race 2000
starring David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone. The film was distributed by Universal
Pictures and was produced by Anderson through Impact Pictures with Bolt.
In 2009 Anderson wrapped the sci-fi horror Pandorum, starring Dennis Quaid and Ben
Foster, for which he took on the role of producer. Anderson and Bolt produced through
their Impact Pictures banner.
29

Anderson most recently released Resident Evil: Afterlife, the fourth film in the highly
successful franchise. The film stars Milla Jovovich and was filmed using the Vincent Pace
3D system developed for Avatar.
Born and raised in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, Anderson graduated from the
University of Warwick with a BA in Film & Literature, he continued at Warwick to become
the youngest student to achieve an MBA.

His first collaboration with Anderson was on 1994’s Shopping starring Jude Law (Channel
Four Films). The action packed film about joyriding and ram-raiding British youth, revved
up Bolt’s career and established his love of cars and death defying races. With
Hollywood’s attention, Bolt began producing big budget films such as Event Horizon
(Paramount) and Soldier (Warner Bros). 2002’s Resident Evil (Sony Screen Gems) was
the first movie under Impact Picture’s joint venture deal with Germany’s leading
independent distributor, Constantin Film, going on to gross over $100M worldwide.
Under the joint venture with Constantin, Bolt produced 2004’s Resident Evil: Apocalypse
for Sony Screen Gems (written by Anderson and directed by Alexander Witt); the
psychological horror The Dark (directed by John Fawcett); teen actioner DOA: Dead Or
Alive (directed by Cory Yuen for Dimension), an adaptation of Tecmo’s best-selling
videogame franchise; and the third movie in the block-busting Resident Evil franchise,
2007’s Resident Evil: Extinction that debuted #1 at the US box office, and grossed $150M
worldwide.
Also in 2007, Bolt produced Death Race with Jason Statham, Joan Allen and Ian
McShane, a reimagining of the Roger Corman classic, with Cruise/Wagner Productions
for Universal Pictures. Fall 2009 saw the release of the sci/fi horror film Pandorum for
Overture Films and Constantin Film starring Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster. The 4th film
in the Resident Evil franchise was released in the fall of 2010 and earned $300M
worldwide. Action horror Resident Evil: Afterlife was shot in 3D for Constantin Film &
Sony Screen Gems, and stars Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter. The franchise has made
$675 million worldwide to date.
As well as producing big budget genre movies, Bolt has proved his talents as a versatile
and eclectic filmmaker, producing the art house film Vigo for Film Four (directed by Julien
Temple), and the comedy Stiff Upper Lips (starring Peter Ustinov). He has also produced
There’s Only One Jimmy Grimble (starring Ray Winstone and Robert Carlyle) and teen
horror The Hole (starring Thora Birch and Keira Knightley), both for Pathe Pictures.

DENNIS BERARDI – VFX Supervisor
Founder of the Mr. X studio, Dennis Berardi is a creative visionary who has lived and
breathed the visual effects industry for over fifteen years. In addition to a passion for
filmmaking, his talents include exceptional creativity and problem solving ability – as well
as an unwavering dedication to his craft.
Dennis’s love affair with the motion picture industry began in the early 1990s, when he
33

worked closely with IMAX and The National Film Board of Canada to integrate new
ground-breaking digital imaging systems for both live-action as well as animated films.
In 1994, Dennis then helped to form a motion picture digital opticals company called
Cine-Byte, broadening his industry experience while managing daily production of high-
resolution input scanning, film recording, and digital effects. In 1997, he moved to
Command Post Toybox (Toronto), to establish a feature film Visual Effects department.
Here, he quickly built a reputation as an expert in the field of computer animation – one
who was also skilled at developing teams capable of tackling innovative and complex
CGI projects. It was during this period that Berardi’s enthusiasm for working with images
made him the first choice as a creative visual effects lead for such visually
groundbreaking films as Tarsem’s The Cell and David Fincher’s Fight Club.
In 2001, Dennis Berardi founded Mr. X in conjunction with TOPIX – an award winning
commercial design and animation house, with the goal of creating an artist-based studio
environment that would contribute fundamentally to how a concept or story is visually
interpreted for the medium of feature film.
His studio has since established itself as a leader in North America, with credits on
dozens of distinguished projects including such recent films as Resident Evil: Afterlife
(2010), Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010), Letters to Juliet (2010), Fast & Furious
(2009), Sin Nombre (2009), Amelia (2009), Taking Woodstock (2009), Death Race
(2008), The Rocker (2008), Flash of Genius (2008), Eastern Promises (2007), Resident
Evil: Extinction (2007), Balls of Fury (2007), Lust Caution (2007), Skinwalkers (2006),
Silent Hill (2006), Hollywoodland (2006), Happily N’Ever After (2005), Four Brothers
(2005), Assault on Precinct 13 (2005), Greatest Game Ever Played (2005), Ice Harvest
(2005), Ice Princess (2005), A History of Violence (2005), Where the Truth Lies (2005),
Dawn of the Dead (2004) and Wrong Turn (2003).
It was a natural evolution of Berardi’s creative collaboration with other filmmakers, that he
would begin producing original content himself. His first foray into film production earned
him a producer credit for Cube Zero, the prequel to the cult film series, The Cube.
Berardi then built on this early success, producing the feature film Skinwalkers that was
completed in 2006 and released theatrically in North America by After Dark Films.

PIERRE-YVES GAYRAUD – Costume Designer
Pierre-Yves Gayraud is one of France’s most sought after costume designers, with over
thirty films to his credit. Perhaps best known in the U.S. for two large-scale productions,
Regis Wargnier’s Oscar ® winning Indochine and Doug Liman’s The Bourne Identity.
Indochine, set during the French occupation of Vietnam and filmed in that country,
starring Catherine Deneuve and Vincent Perez, brought Gayraud and collaborator
Gabriella Pescucci Cesar Award nominations.
As the costume designer on Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, he won the German Film
Award’s ‘Film In Gold’ for best costume. He went on to design worked on two segments
of the episodic “Paris, Je T’aime” with directors Tom Tykwer and the Coen brothers.
Other notable feature film credits include: Mr. Bean’s Vacation, starring Rowan Atkinson,
Jean-Jacques Annaud’s His Majesty Minor with Vincent Cassel, and The Countess
featuring Julie Delphy and William Hurt.

THE THREE MUSKETEERS FUN FACTS
� 260,000 liters of water were needed to fill the section of the Venetian canal built
on Stage 15 at Bablesberg Studio.
� It wasn’t just the actors that required hair and make up; the horse playing
‘Buttercup’ was given grey hair extensions on her mane and around her hooves,
transforming her into D’Artagnan’s much loved work-horse.
� In preparation for filming, Logan Lerman and the actors playing The Three
Musketeers were tutored in the fine art of fencing by the German European
Championship gold-medalist, Imke Duplitzer.
� The armory department handcrafted over 800 individual period weapons for
filming The Three Musketeers; including guns, pistols, muskets, daggers,
rapiers and swords.
� For the scenes involving visual effects, the film crew used 10,000 feet of greenscreen
on the stages – that’s nearly 2 miles of fabric.
� For the Venice Vault set, the art department painted 1,800 marble tiles, made
180 gargoyle masks to hang on the walls, and rolled 2,000 scrolls for the vault.
