old story, new technique

Today, Milla Jovovich’s husband and the British director Paul Anderson, who filmed "Resident Evil", "Alien vs. Predator" and "King of Fighting" and other action dramas, also played "The Three Musketeers". Idea. Under his adaptation of "Advancing with the Times", "The Three Musketeers" retains the original setting of the times, but will do a lot of articles on love scenes and fighting scenes. So the original story about the Reformation has evolved into a great adventure of handsome men and beautiful women.
Regarding this commercial adaptation, Paul Anderson said: "The content of the whole novel is very compact and almost impeccable. Only a little bit verbose is acceptable. So I was thinking that this one has spanned several times. Why can’t a story with such a rich country and historical background be adapted into an action movie? So I decided to express "Three Musketeers" in the current way. Removed some too verbose and annoying plot and background, Turn this movie into a story with adventure as the main line. Anyway, a filmmaker always has to make some fresh changes to the old material, or some of the most fashionable settings nowadays, such as action Scenes, visual effects, Japanese ninja kung fu, 3D, etc. There is a spaceship in the film, and there are some shots of the spaceships shooting at each other. This is the biggest prop in the movie. The inspiration for making this spaceship comes from Da Finn Odd, he has designed many weapons, and the spaceship is one of them. I don’t think it’s illogical, because it’s an action-adventure movie in itself, and Leonardo’s genius designs proved to be effective. Effective."
Fighting scene escalated
An important reason for Paul Anderson's adaptation of "The Three Musketeers" is that there are many descriptions of the fighting of the Musketeers in the original work.

For example, the warships attacked each other, the dazzling action scenes of the musketeers and Milla Jovovich, the villain Miledy. Needless to say, this kind of shooting thinking is in line with "Zorro's Mask" more than ten years ago.
Paul Anderson said: "There are many action scenes in the film. Although these scenes are mainly fighting with cold weapons, I still add many other elements to them, such as strange devices, cannonballs flying around, etc. These elements are added to the battle of cold weapons, which will naturally bring the visual effect to a higher level, and it will be more exciting and thrilling. Milla Jovovich has the most tight scenes in the film, and her fighting scenes are the most. Moreover, she is also wearing a 17th-century costume with a big skirt and puff sleeves. Such a costume plays a fighting scene, which looks absolutely novel and exciting. Mila is a very good action movie actor, and many actions are not a problem. , But in this movie, what she needs to do is fencing. She is not familiar with sword fighting, so she has to go to training in advance. After months of training, Mira became a qualified swordsman. Those cold weapons struggle, and now computer assisted special effects, looks absolutely is the latest odd experience. and I movie these great actors, gave me a great deal of imagination and special effects using the space. "
cast eye-catching
addition to In addition to Milla Jovovich, "The Three Musketeers" also includes stars such as Juno Temple, Luke Evans, Logan Lerman and Orlando Bloom. There is no doubt that apart from the fighting scenes and gorgeous visual effects and 3D that Paul Anderson is good at, these cast members are the biggest attraction of the film.
Milla Jovovich said: ""The Three Musketeers" has always been the kind of novel wrapped in action elements. Now shooting it will naturally highlight this element. This movie is indeed a A novel with a novel style and outstanding features. It is not only the fighting scenes, but also the entertainment and many settings. I wear costumes that I have never worn before. This is a novel. The setting of the times in the movie. Wearing those costumes, I immediately felt a sense of the times, and I naturally entered the movie. Those costumes, hairstyles and makeup really helped me enter the movie."
Logan Leman, the young actor born in the 90s, played the protagonist Daddario in the film. Regarding the filming of the film, he said: "This film is very cool, and I made it very cool. There are endless fighting scenes and adventures. Plot. This is my favorite thing. And Paul Anderson also hopes to find an actor about the same age as the character to play Daddario. In the novel, his age is 18, just the same as me, so he found I came to play. Overall, the shooting of this film made me very enjoyable."
