Overwiew :THE MUSKETEER is director-cinematographer Peter Hyams’ (TIMECOP, END OF DAYS) fresh new take on Alexandre Dumas’ classic adventure tale, The Three Musketeers. Newcomer Justin Chambers stars as D’Artagnan, a dashing swordsman whose courage and willful nature place him at odds with powerful forces in 17th century Paris. A distinguished international cast includes Catherine Deneuve as the Queen of France, Stephen Rea as the enigmatic Cardinal Richelieu, Tim Roth as the conniving Febre and Mena Suvari as Francesca, a fiery peasant girl who claims D’Artagnan’s heart on sight. Legendary Hong Kong action choreographer Xin Xin Xiong (ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA) designed the film’s dazzling fight sequences, mixing eastern and western styles and traditions to stunning effect.
