The Three Musketeers

In seventeenth-century France, a young Gascon named D'Artagnan travels to Paris hoping to join the king's musketeers. He quickly runs afoul of three seasoned musketeers, Athos, Porthos and Aramis, but the four become allies when they clash with the cardinal's guards. Together they face a conspiracy led by Cardinal Richelieu, whose agents include the scheming Milady de Winter and Rochefort. Their mission involves retrieving a stolen necklace from England, an object intended to expose a supposed affair between the French queen and the English court, giving Richelieu grounds to push the two nations into war. This is an adaptation of Alexandre Dumas's novel.

Paul W. S. Anderson directed the film, his ninth feature in a fourteen-film career, arriving between Resident Evil: Afterlife and Resident Evil: Retribution. Andrew Davies and Alex Litvak wrote the screenplay, and Anderson produced with Jeremy Bolt and Robert Kulzer. Logan Lerman plays D'Artagnan, with Milla Jovovich as Milady de Winter, Matthew Macfadyen as Athos, Ray Stevenson as Porthos, Luke Evans as Aramis and Gabriella Wilde as Constance. The production, mounted across Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and France, cost 75 million USD and returned 132 million USD worldwide, a modest result against its scale.
