Starring Logan Lerman, Matthew Macfadyen, Ray Stevenson, Luke ...

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.”
