In preview, Saturday February 18, in Saint-Malo (Ille et Vilaine), an XXL casting to remind you that such a role cannot be refused.

“Respect the DNA of the work”

Published in 1844, the novel by Alexandre Dumas has been adapted around forty times for the cinema, a challenge for Martin Bourboulon, the director. “We must not disappoint. We must find a balance between what we can bring […] and respect the DNA of the work and its strength”, he indicates. The first part of the film will be released in theaters on April 5. The second is expected for December and if successful, it is not impossible that a third part will see the light of day.
