Paul W.S. Anderson to Direct The Three Musketeers 3D

Paul W.S. Anderson is set to direct The Three Musketeers, which will be filmed in 3D. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the director plans on making a contemporary period piece, which means it will be very modern, but set in a period landscape.

Anderson stated, "We are definitely modernizing The Three Musketeers without compromising the fun of shooting a period piece. But in our film, corsets and feathered hats don't take center stage. Our version is rich in eye-popping action, romance and adventure."

Anderson and Andrew Davies wrote the script, with plans to have the film shot in 3D. Anderson is set to start production on the film early next year, with an eye towards a 2011 release date.

The Three Musketeers was released in 2011.

    I like the whole modern idea, but of course, throw a gimmick out there. That's like saying 'if you buy a ticket, you get a free tshirt with the movie'. What are we, twelve?

    They way they're going to do it sounds stupid. The 3D thing doesn't bother me because you don't have to see the movie that way if you don't want to.

    forget 3D! just tell the story well and allow it to be what draws the audience. NOTE TO STUDIOS: STOP TRYING TO TREAT THE AUDIENCE AS A BUNCH OF IDIOTS THAT LINE UP FOR FADS - GO FOR THE REAL DRAW (A GOOD STORY THAT IS TOLD WELL).

    3D was a way to get people out of there homes and away from that new fangled thing they called TV. Now it's 2009, it's not going to work.
