Celebrity Update Orlando Bloom joins the cast of The Three Musketeers together with James Corden. The lineup already includes Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz and Milla Jovovich. Paul W.S. Anderson, Jovovich’s husband, is directing.
Bloom will play the Duke of Buckingham, the arch-nemesis to the Musketeers who is described as “so cool that you can chop him into cubes and serve with vodka.” |
Based on Alexandre Dumas’ novel of the same title, “The Three Musketeers” is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and written by Anderson as well as Andrew Davies. The 3-D action adventure movie is scheduled to start shooting later this summer for a summer 2011 release.
“We are definitely modernizing ‘The Three Musketeers’ without compromising the fun of shooting a period piece,” Anderson has previously shared about the movie. “But in our film, corsets and feathered hats don’t take center stage. Our version is rich in eye-popping action, romance and adventure.” He additionally hoped to shoot it in France and Germany.
