S. Anderson's version of "The Three Musketeers" is a very 2011 take on Alexandre Dumas' classic that feels weirdly dated already. Although adequately entertaining thanks to lavish production values and game supporting perfs, this anodyne adaptation lacks a killer hook that would help it cross over to a demographic beyond action buffs and fanboys. Canny calendar positioning should help Summit's October release Stateside, but the pic will swash more buckle overseas, where the title has more cachet. Already open in Germany, "Musketeers" screens Sept. 23 at the San Sebastian Film Festival. Not too long ago, it looked as though this American-German-French-British co-production would be one of two new 3D adaptations of "Three Musketeers" this year, alongside Warner Bros.' Doug Liman-helmed version. Whatever the reasons that project was put on hold, one can't help but wonder if there might have been well-founded doubts about how well Dumas' 17th century-set tale of chivalry, camaraderie and courtly intrigue could be remixed for contempo auds without diluting it beyond all recognition. Indeed, the script here struggles to find a balance between the sensibilities of Alex Litvak, best known for writing "Grayskull" and "Predators," and Andrew Davies, who built his rep on tony literary adaptations for British TV such as "Pride and Prejudice" (1995) and "Little Dorrit" (2008). End product lacks Davies' signature verbal sparkle Davies, but also sags in the middle, the way a mainstream action film shouldn't, when it bogs down in all the business about the Queen's purloined necklace (ironically, the bit closest to Dumas' novel). The opening sequence offers a typical example of how far beyond Dumas the filmmakers are willing to go, as the Musketeers, soldiers in the employ of France's King Louis (Freddie Fox), are introduced on a secret mission to Venice to snatch plans drawn up by Leonardo Da Vinci for an airship. Joining leader Athos (Matthew Macfadyen), enigmatic ex-priest Aramis (Luke Evans) and jovial muscleman Porthos (Ray Stevenson) on this quest is none other than Milady de Winter herself (Milla Jovovich, Anderson's regular muse), not just a pretty face and a cunning mind, but also a dab hand with a sword and a roundhouse kick. Unfortunately, Milady betrays them, as she's secretly in cahoots with Cardinal Richelieu (Christoph Waltz, good but somewhat lazily cast as yet another smooth villain). This leaves Athos particularly embittered by the time young, idealistic, Justin Bieber-haired upstart D'Artagnan (Logan Lerman) arrives in Paris sometime later from the sticks, keen to become a Musketeer himself. Richard Lester's "Three Musketeers" (1973) and "Four Musketeers" (1974) made their own significant departures from the books, as nearly every film version has, but they had a bawdy streak that's notably lacking in this very teen-skewed PG-13 incarnation. Louis, for example, is a moon-faced kid basically suffering from a crush on his own wife (Juno Temple, a delight as usual), while D'Artagnan gives him brotherly dating advice. Orlando Bloom plays the Duke of Buckingham like a rival jock from another school, sneering over Louis' out-of-fashion duds. For an action film, there's an awful lot of foppish discussion about clothes going on. But what glorious clothes they are. Pierre-Yves Gayraud's exquisitely detailed outfits steal scene after scene, in particular the women's gowns, all intricate silk brocades shot through with metallic threads and glinting like jewels. Glen MacPherson's digital lensing has been balanced in post in such a way to let the electric blues on the king's guards' uniforms pop just a bit more intensely, especially in the many bright, sunlit rooms (a mix of Bavarian locations and sets at Berlin's Studio Babelsberg) deployed for the palace scenes. The use of 3D rather limits the fluidity of the action sequences, which ought to be Anderson's strong suit, but it does nothing but favors for Paul Denham Austerberry's rococo production design.Camera (color, widescreen, HD, 3D), Glen MacPherson; editor, Alexander Berner; music, Paul Haslinger; music supervisors, Christoph Becker, Pia Hofmann; production designer, Paul Denham Austerberry; supervising art director, Nigel Churcher, art directors, David Scheunemann, Hucky Hornberger; set decorator, Philippe Turlure; costume designer, Pierre-Yves Gayraud; sound (Dolby Digital), Roland Winke; supervising sound editor, Stefan Busch; re-recording mixers, Michael Kranz, Andrew Stirk; special effects supervisor, Gerd Feuchter; special effects, Die Nefzers; visual effects supervisor, Bennis Berardi; visual effects, Mr. X; fight choreographer, Nick Powell; stunt coordinators, Powell, Volkhart Buff; stereographer, John Harper; line producer, Silvia Tollman; assistant director, Jamie Christopher; second unit director, Nick Powell; second unit camera, Vern Nobles; casting, Suzanne M.

Pop-Star Fathers, Gifted Kids: Lily Collins together with other Rising-Star Stars

Remember when rock stars produced supermodel children? Keith Richards produced catwalk queens Theodora and Alexandra. Keith's bandmate Mick Jagger produced worldwide supermodel Lizzy Jagger. This phenomenon stretches beyond the Moving Gems, remarkably. Have a look at Duran Duran singer Simon Le Bon's daughter Amber as proof. It probably doesn't hurt that a number of these kids of rock stars had the help of their mothers' genes -- their mamas are models. There's however a completely new trend among kids of famous artists. Many of them are entering acting, and so are thriving advertising online. Have a look at Lily Collins. Who'd have thought that "In The Future in Paradise" crooner Phil Collins would eventually spawn Hollywood's latest It-Girl? You may remember her as Sandra Bullock's daughter in 'The Blind Side,' the role that first introduced her the main attraction. Ever since then, she's won the coveted title role in 'Snow White' opposite Jennifer Aniston, which week, you'll be able to catch her in 'Abduction,' an action thriller co-starring 'Twilight' hunk Rachelle Lefervre. And he or she isn't the initial daughter from the pop star to produce a splash in Hollywood. Understanding that, here is a listing in the 5 best stars who've a famous musical father (or father). I'm taking a chance model/artist/brooding teen Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, won't be far behind. Zoe Kravitz: There's no denying that Zoe won the gene pool lottery. It appears as though her absurdly beautiful parents, actress Lisa Bonet and rock star Lenny Kravitz, passed along not just appearance. The youthful Kravitz (and rumored girlfriend of Michael Fassbender) can sing and act (and model, clearly. I'm speaking about, have a look at her). She most recently came out alongside Fassbender in X-Males: Top Quality. &ampampltcenter&ampampgt Rashida Manley: Awesome, funny, lower-to-earth Rashida is not like what you might expect the daughter from the music magnate competitive with Quincy Manley being. It may be that endearing, relatable quality that has aided her movie career remove. She shone as Paul Rudd's awesome fiancé in 'I Accept You Guy,' and he or she charms again as Zooey Deschanel's hipster-lawyer girlfriend in this summer's 'My Idiot Brother.' &ampltcenter&ampgt Liv Tyler: Who understood Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler's lips could really look wonderful around the lady? Lucky for Liv, Tyler's oversize features work incredibly well when balanced on her behalf account delicate face. Looks aside, Liv has proven frequently they gets the acting chops to aid her famous surname. The most popular Liv role so far? Corey the goody-goody getting a secret in 'Empire Records.' &ltcenter&gt Riley Keough: It's virtually impossible for Elvis Presley's daughter to experience a normal existence, isn't it? Therefore its likely to find the best that Lisa Marie's daughter is implementing a existence inside the limelight, first just like a model now becoming an actress starring in movies like 'The Runaways.' Up next? 'The Good Doctor' with Orlando Blossom. <center> Miley Cyrus: Say what you need to about Miley, but she'll really act. Ultimately, being the daughter of Achy Breaky crooner Billy Ray Cyrus doesn't exactly get together with the identical privileges and connections as say, being Bruce and Demi's daughter would. Hanna Montana is probably still her best role, but she wasn't bad exercising her dramatic muscles in 'The Last Song.' Her devoted fans will have a way to trap her round the silver screen again in the year in 'LOL,' co-starring (coincidentally) Demi Moore. <center>

Avatar Theme Park Deal Wont Inflate Disney Costs, CFO Says

Disney’s newly announced Avatar theme park attraction is”a perfect example of something that could be a needle mover” for the company’s parks operation, CFO Jay Rasulo said today at the Goldman Sachs Communicipia Conference. The arrangement with Fox and director James Cameron is “a standard licening deal”that doesn’t provide them with a percentage of ticket sales –but does share revenue from merchandise. Rasulo adds that the initiative likely won’t”stick out llike a sore thumb” in Disney’s costs:”We just won’t do something else we were going to do” at Animal Kingdom. After next year”there will be a significant decline in the capital we invest in our parks” bringing Disney “relatively closer to our historic level of spending.” That’s important to analysts who fear that construction and investment costs will hurt profit margins. “We look forward to the day when people say ‘you’re back’ and don’t ask that question anymore.”

Carell, Hamm, Laurie: Emmy Bridesmaids Once Again?

NEW You'll be able to (AP) It's tough to picture TV stars for instance Steve Carell, Jon Hamm and Hugh Laurie as perennial bridesmaids. But that's what they've been lately at Emmy time, as rival nominees hog the golden statuettes.Will the threesome shed his maid-matron of honor status this year? That question for you is on Emmy-watchers' minds as honours evening draws near. (The big show airs Sunday at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox). Here's Carell, nominated as outstanding lead actor in the comedy series for his fifth and final year starring on "WorkInch and already snubbed four years running. Here's Hamm, which has seen his series, "Mad Males," reap best-drama Emmys the three of the seasons while best-actor nominee Hamm got ignore. And facing Hamm, here's Hugh Laurie, a six-time nominee (and, to date, annual washout) concerning the medical drama "House," likely to start its last season.Really, there's no disgrace in the series star being associated with a maid-matron of honor streak.Among actor nominees, the beloved Angela Lansbury wears the crown as all-time Emmy loser. She was rebuffed twelve occasions for "Murder, She Written" and contains lodged six more deficits for other nominated TV performances.Fellow unanointed stars include five-time loser Jackie Gleason (whilst Art Carney acquired six Emmys for his use "the fantastic One"), and Andy Griffith, who was simply never nominated as Sheriff Andy Taylor, while his crazy partner, Don Knotts, raked in five trophies.And let's remember (though Emmy idol idol judges extended have) Bill Maher, which has yet to win an Emmy after 26 bids stretching to 1995. His current series, "Real-time With Bill Maher," has acquired him 11 nods: creating (six) writing (four) and hosting (one). "Real-timeInch is nominated again this year for top variety, music or comedy series nevertheless it faces "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart," which has won yesteryear eight years straight.Handicappers think Hamm features a good shot this year for top actor in the drama. One hopeful sign: Bryan Cranston, the actor which has made Hamm a maid-matron of honor by winning for "Breaking Bad" yesteryear three years, no longer has sufficient action this year. "Breaking Bad" didn't air inside the being qualified period.Besides Laurie, Hamm is facing Steve Buscemi ("Boardwalk Empire"), Michael C. Hall ("Dexter"), Kyle Chandler ("Friday Evening Lights") and Timothy Olyphant ("Justified") undertake and don't slouches. Still, you can't overstate the impact from the Emmy enemy for instance Cranston or his welcome absence.Recall how, in 1996, Candice Bergen withdrew from consideration just like a nominee on her behalf starring role inside the sitcom "Murphy Brown." Getting collected five Emmys in those days, she mentioned she preferred to provide other stars an chance. With Bergen from contention, Helen Search won for "Mad When It Comes To YouInch yearly until its finish four years later. For your three years before Bergen bowed out, Search happen to be a jilted nominee."In my opinion it's finally Jon Hamm's time to win," states Tom O'Neil, editor in the award websites goldderby.com and theenvelope.com.Missing peeking inside the sealed the the envelopes, O'Neil may have the sharpest insight of anybody regarding who the individuals who win will probably be. So consider his analysis:First, "Mad Males" this year published a doozie from the episode to focus on Hamm's range as sixties ad guy Don Draper. Among Emmy's actor groups, a jury sights just one sample episode per nominee, so that it ought to be persuasive. (Angela Lansbury's "Murder" role just like a author-detective always put her inside the service of each and every episode's crime-fixing, while, on the way, denying her the type of Emmy-worthy actorly scene she may have handled very easily.)O'Neil thinks this year "Mad Males" first first got it right by posting the episode referred to as "The Suitcase.""It's a large acting showcase for Hamm," states O'Neil. "He'll get every emotion: He cries he's drunk he's confessional he's humble he's boisterous and bawdy."In comparison, Laurie could continue to be prone to an problem endemic to his role on "House": "He plays an unlikable character," states O'Neil. "You will not wish to hug crusty, cranky Dr. House. In my opinion that has backfired on Hugh Laurie."The same problem may have affected Steve Carell: Michael Scott, the paper-company branch manager he carried out on "Work,Inch is "creepy," O'Neil covers.This year, Carell may have overcome that character deficit by posting as his entry his farewell appearance concerning the series. That episode, O'Neil notes, "has a sense of history, and heart-pulling moments."Maybe so. But who is able to say be it enough to produce a maid-matron of honor a champion?Copyright 2011 Connected Press. All rights reserved.

388 Arletta Avenue

A Copperheart Entertainment presentation. (Worldwide sales: TF1 Intl., Boulogne-Billancourt, France.) Created by Steve Hoban, Mark Cruz. Executive producer, Vincenzo Natali. Directed, compiled by Randall Cole.With Nick Stahl, Mia Kirshner, Devon Sawa, Krista Bridges.Giving the venerable "Gaslight" concept a higher-tech spin, Randall Cole's "388 Arletta Avenue" is really a taut, frequently ingenious thriller that fails to deliver only if it might be false to itself and it is central conceit: the 24-7 surveillance of the not-quite-happily husband and wife with a virtual burglar, whose manipulations and mischief drive the husband towards the edge. Thesps Nick Stahl, Devon Sawa and Mia Kirshner bring authenticity to some fairly audacious plotline, and helmer Cole adds a particular flair to what's being a familiar device. Play is going to be limited, but genre fans will probably lap up. James and Amy (Stahl, Kirshner) live easily in trendy Toronto she's a Ph.D. candidate, he's an up-and-comer in an advertising firm. What we should first see of these is thru the lens of the camera, trained on the house, which watches because they leave the house, hide a type in a planter and drive away. The cameraman sees everything, too, and uses the important thing to plant a minimum of six cameras in your home. The film-within-the-movie is after that seen chiefly on the bank of monitors in an mysterious location, the visible action shifting from area to area, and screen to screen, through the unseen hands from the puppet master/fiend. What starts in confusion -- by having an unknown Compact disc established to experience their vehicle stereo system -- results in frazzled nerves between James and Amy, neither knowing where it originated from nor, obviously, jumping towards the conclusion that someone's attempting to bring them crazy. But matters escalate, to the stage that after James finds a goodbye note about the mattress, and Amy gone, it's entirely plausible that she's simply try to escape. James, in the end, continues to be cheating on her behalf: Within the film's subtler moments, a lady in the office gives him a begrudging smile his sister-in law Katherine (Krista Bridges) greets his telephone call with venom -- her violent dislike of James eventually leading her to leap towards the conclusion he's wiped out Amy. Meanwhile, James tries to determine who does be kidnapping his wife, killing his cat and otherwise monkeying together with his existence. A film having a gimmick almost dares the viewer to locate defects along the way, there appear to become a couple of in "388 Arletta Avenue," even when the majority of what we should see remains faithful towards the initial setup: When James seeks out a classic classmate, Bill (Sawa), whom he suspects to be his tormentor, all of the action happens before a camera the viewer knows continues to be grown within the vehicle. Once the police arrived at call, your kitchen cams get the conversation. The way you see James at his place of work is not as obvious, unless of course the devilish mastermind has treated his office computer (quite possible, given everything else that occurs). However when James chases a genuine, physical burglar from his house one evening and takes towards the roads in the vehicle, it's a little harder to reconcile how we are seeing everything, unless of course Mr. Evil has put up cameras like Christmas illuminates and lower Arletta Avenue. It is a curious mental game "388 Arletta" plays: Even though POV may be the criminal's, you should be sympathizing with James, yet we do not really he's a not particularly charming philanderer. Furthermore, when he seeks out Bill, it's on the face to apologize -- he yet others cajolled Bill in school, and also the shattered-searching guy appears to possess experienced lengthy-term effects. Even while he asks Bill's forgiveness, he suspects him to be behind his wife's abduction. Therefore it is with mixed feelings that certain watches James break in the seams, and many others together with him. The film-through-viewfinder, most likely done very best in the The spanish language horror film "Rec" (and also to headache-inducing effect elsewhere, like "Cloverfield") is really a novelty that appears both a distraction along with a decoy from what might well be just moderately interesting horror buildings, "388 Arletta Avenue" incorporated. Production values are great, thinking about the overall esthetic is actively raggedy.Camera, Gavin Cruz editor, Kathy Weinkauf production designer, Peter Cosco art director, Ian Hall set decorator, David Edgar costume designer, Patrick Antosh seem, Zenon Waschuk supervisory seem editor, David McCallum visual effects supervisor, Ryan V.

But no one's looking forward to Saturday evening."Warburton hints this move might signal the finish is near for that comedy. "This really is most likely our this past year from the show," he adds. "The show does very well in reruns, and when they would like to syndicate, they have to reach 100 episodes. So they are doing that to us."Are you going to stay tuned to Rules of Engagement on Saturdays? Do you consider it's the perfect time for that show to finish?Sign up for TV Guide Magazine now!
