    That story is timeless and there probaly will be many more remakes of it in the future .

    Alexandre Dumas also wrote the Count of Monte Cristo ,a revenge movie that will have a lot of remakes too.

    it is timeless... and with the success of swashbucklers like the Pirates trilogy, i am not surprised.

    Except they always screw it up in the movie version. The best one I have seen is the Cary Grant movie and even that wasnt that great...

    Yeah, the only good rendition of a Dumas story was the French mini-series Count of Monte Cristo with Gerard Depardieu...I mean, c'mon - One for All, and All for Love??? What kind of crap is that??? Hollywood, please, do us all a favor and leave the French material to the French, will ya?:hi5:

    Unless it's Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich, Gérard Depardieu, & Gabriel Byrne I don't wanna see it.

    Those guys were it for me. ;)

    Didn't they produce a Musketeer's remake recently with Mena Suvari in 01?

    Yeah it was called the Musketeer with choreography by Yuen Wo-Ping and with the dude from Gray's Anatomy as D'artagnan and tim Roth as Roquefort.

    I love Dumas (not as much as I love Salgari, though it seems like that is a latino like that is not shared on the English speaking world) but with the exception of Queen Margot, I have yet to see a great Dumas movie.

    The Count of Monte Cristo is my favorite book. I've probably read it 5 times. And the recent movie (2002) was terrible and bore only a passing resemblence to the book. I've read all the Musketeers books except Louise De Lavailliere (I'm sure that's spelled wrong). I'm about halfway through, and I don't expect to ever finish, as I've been halfway through for about 5 years. As great as the other Musketeer books are, that one's just shamefully boring. I keep waiting for something interesting to happen, but it's just a bunch of romantic intrigue between Louise and the King. It's so dull that I want to write the Dumas family and ask for my $8 back.

    So, you DIDN'T like the Keifer Sutherland, Oliver Platt, Charlie Sheen, Chris O'Donnell iteration that Disney did? I can't believe it. That was so realistic and lifelike! And Charlie's acting was splendid, as though he wasn't reading cue cards at all!
