Another Movie? Damnit, if there is ONE story that deserves a proper 6/8/10 hour long episode mini series to let the 2 decades long narrative flow at a proper pace, it's this one
@@devenkane I just finished that series and really enjoyed it, even though they sped through his time spent in prison with Abbe Faria, which was my favorite part of the 2002 movie.
@@coreybonsant4876I’ve read the novel but it was a long time ago and I’ve see the Jim Caviezal movie, but I can’t remember how it so varied from the book. Maybe if O remember correctly in the book he was much more obsessed with revenge than the love he had for the girl and in the movie, it was all about his happy ending with the girl correct? Or if not this, how did it vary so much?
What I hate about so many adaptations of this story is how they erase Haydee just so that Edmond can be with Mercedes. The Jim Caviezel adaptation even went so far as to say that Albert was Edmond's son with Mercedes. I hope this version includes him ending up with Haydee.
Alexandre de La Patelliere, one of the film's directors and screenwriter, said that the 1979 miniseries directed by his father and which is a faithful adaptation of the book, is the best adaptation of the book. There was an interview with the actor Pierre Niney who plays the Count and the actress Anamaeria Vartolomei who plays Haydee in the French magazine Infrarogue. Anamaria says that Haydee is a young woman who has been damaged by life. She experienced great torment and suffering. She also feels a strong desire for personal revenge. Haydee has a deep darkness, but also a form of purity. She is a woman of duty, faithful and sincere. She has an image of her walking arm in arm with Andrea cavalcanti, clinging to him and another dancing with Albert. And in the trailer she tells the count if she will sacrifice her for her revenge. She is manipulating both at the count's request. Which leads me to believe that she will be more than just a witness for the Count against Fernand, she could be his winter milady from The Three Musketeers. An agent of the count, just like my lady was the cardinal's. And Haydee may not be happy about this, because she loves the Count.
The 1988 Soviet film, The Prisoner of Château d'If (Узник замка Иф/ Uznik zamka If) by Georgi Yungvald-Khilkevich has the count's ending with Haydee. And there will still be a miniseries with Sam Claflin.

THANK YOU FRANCE FOR MAKING HISTORICAL ACCURATE HISTORICAL CHARACTERS FOR EUROPE IN THE 19 CENTURY AND VISUALY AMAZING MOVIES THANK YOUUUUUU THIS ONE AND THE THREE MUSKETEERS LOOK AMAZING
i dont know why but i resonate deeply with stories of redemption, of being cast out and then making your way back and claiming your righteous path. im in x
Same! Edmund becomes jaded due to the injustice that had been perpetrated against him but in the end realizes life is worth living and lets go of the hate in his heart.
I can't wait to see this movie. The Count of Monte Cristo is one of my favorite novels. It's a true unforgettable❤classic. Even though this is just the first trailer of the film but let hope that its closer to the book's adaptation.
Props to the makeup department, young Edmund is the most innocent and wholesome character in contrast to the jaded and older Count whose heart is filled with vengeance! I agree that mini series of 10 episodes would do the story justice but this looks good. I think they are doing a UK adaptation as well that is a mini series.
This director and writer team of Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière did a phenomenal job with the recent Three Musketeers films and this film promises to be as great as those two films are.
@@montazownianr1 I've only seen the first one, but honestly I thought it kinda sucked. It was humorless with a brown ascetic. And despite what people claim it barley follows the book. I would highly recommend the 1973 'Richard Lester' Three Musketeers films. They turn up the zany slapstick by 40%, but aside from that, they're very faithful to the books (for what the runtime allows) and do a much better job of capturing the tone, and grand nature of the books. As well as the humor, which the new film severely lacked, given that the book is as much a comedy, as it is an adventure story. I also thought the actors were better in the 70s version.
So you haven't read the book? The 2002 adaptation greatly changed the story and omitted important characters from the book. Inspired by the story of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, the count has a young lover, an Eastern princess who joins forces with him against Fernand. Just as Cleopatra and Caesar joined forces against a common enemy. Her name is Haydee. There will still be a miniseries with Sam Claflin.
@@arabadawson-amoah217 In the film Cleopatra (1963) with Liz Taylor, which shows her affair with Julius Caesar, doesn't it have the mediocre clichés of the very weak film with Jim Caviezel? Is it because real stories are different from ridiculous Hollywood clichés? The film with Jim Caviezel is at the level of the film The prisoner of Château D’If (1988). In a film based on a true story, a powerful man had an affair with his beautiful eastern lover. Now, the film with Jim Caviezel is just fictional nonsense.
The film with Jim Caviezel is rubbish, an extremely simplistic script. Reading Julius Caesra's biography, does it contradict all the sentimental nonsense of the 2002 film? I wonder why? Humanity is more complex than weak American screenwriters cannot understand.
@@arabadawson-amoah217because Superman was in it and the actress who played Mercedes was just soooo gorgeous. they were beautiful lol. I read the book after and was horrified that there was another lady in the mic Haydee…. Book wins for me
OHMYWORD, the guy who plays the priest is incredible and this new Dantes, is absolutely already making my heart break! Jim Caviezel would be proud!!! Hopefully it follows the book?
When I saw the teaser, I didn't think it would hold up to my beloved 2002 adaptation with Jim Caviezel. BUT... this looks really, really well-done, and truer to the novel! I've been swayed to check it out now!
This looks like a proper adaptation. The old Jim Caviezel one abandoned the morality tale about the emptiness of revenge but it looks like it's very present in this new one.
Can't wait it looks incredible ! As good it was to watch the caviezel version, it doesn't follow the book really well so I'm glad that we have this film
I loved the version with Jim Caviezel as Edmond, but this version seems more authentic, given that it was Alexandre Dumas who wrote the novel and it is a French story. I will be sure to watch this when it comes out, and although the story is already known, the themes of revenge and loss and love...never grow old.
There's an image of Haydee walking arm in arm like Andrea Cavalcanti and another of her dancing with Albert, then shows her asking Edmond if he's going to destroy her because of his revenge. I wonder if Edmond is using Haydee as a pawn in his game. Edmond would be a calculating man like Emperor Augustus who made alliances and manipulated people to eliminate his uncle's murderers and then gain power in Rome. Is Edmond a man obsessed with revenge and will destroy anyone in his path? Would he use Haydee as a mere pawn in his game? Emperor Augustus used his sister as a pawn against Mark Antony. The same did Caesar with his daughter when he married her to Pompey in Rome. Will the writers come up with more layers and more darkness instead of it being a simple adventure with a lot of romanticism? Edmond, instead of being a vigilante who wants to punish the bad, is a cold and calculating man who uses people as pawns for his revenge. Without the touch of excessive romanticism of the film with Jim Caviezel and the adaptation with Gerard Depardieu. There could be an ending with a count emotionally ruined by his revenge. There may be damage to a Haydee who was a pawn of Edmond.
I've read this book so many times and hate every film version except the Mr. Magoo one as they all fail to understand the ultimate message of the book. This one looks like it might actually have the proper ending.
My favourite book, so I hope this is as good as it looks. These days, I was honestly expecting "From the makers of John Wick.." to appear on screen, followed by violent fight sequences and dubstep.
And there will also be an adaptation of the book's story into a miniseries with Sam Claflin. The 2002 film changed the book's story and omitted characters,
It's not just the adaptation with Jim Caviezel that has the count returning to Mercedes, the 1998 French miniseries with Gerard Depardeu and Ornella Muti shows the count and Mercedes returning. I Believe It may be like the 1979 French miniseries that ends with a count emotionally depressed by Edouard's death and trying to find some happiness in Haydee's arms and the miniseries ends with them both leaving for the East. There's an image of Haydee walking arm in arm like Andrea Cavalcanti and another of her dancing with Albert, then shows her asking Edmond if he's going to destroy her because of his revenge. I wonder if Edmond is using Haydee as a pawn in his game. Edmond would be a calculating man like Emperor Augustus who made alliances and manipulated people to eliminate his uncle's murderers and then gain power in Rome.

For the trailer i see they r staying with the book accurate seans and the costume the carecter design looks fabulous I'm gald they did that...... This is by far my true fevorite novel it almost like guilty plesure at this point. But can they properly deliver the story in such limited duration of a movie that's what i'm worried for I don't want any half cook meal of a movie like the previous attaempts.

Will this be faithful to the book or like my favorite 2002 version… imagine my horror at realizing his Mercedes was NOT his love…. Ugh. Please follow the book.
Although this adaptation features Andrea Cavalcanti and Haydée, it will distort the book's story. If you want a good adaptation of the book's story, look for the Soviet film The prisoner of Chãteau D'if (1988) on RU-vid. There is the film with English subtitles on RU-vid. Interview with actress Anamaria Vartolomei talking about the character she plays Haydee: In the original “Deux rôles qui semblent éloignés sur le papier. Pourtant, la rébellion est le dénominateur commun de ces personnages : Haydée s'affranchira de l'emprise psychologique de Monte-Cristo, quand Maria Schneider, malgré son traumatisme et sa toxicomanie, refusera de se conformer au modèle que la société du spectacle avait prévu pour elle. « Il est essentiel de raconter des parcours de femmes libres, autonomes et indépendantes qui osent dire non et s'affirmer », assure la jeune actrice, totalement en phase avec les aspirations de sa génération. Sa conscience féministe s'est forgée au fil des collaborations artistiques et des lectures (Nora, héroïne moderne et indépendante d'Une maison de poupée, la célèbre pièce de théâtre de Henrik Ibsen, est son modèle), ou en observant sa mère, une infirmière qui a dû repenser sa vie en changeant de pays. Sa famille reste le socle sur lequel s'est bâti un tempérament solide et déterminé.” “Two roles that seem far apart on paper. However, rebellion is the common denominator of these characters: Haydée will free herself from the psychological influence of Monte Cristo, when Maria Schneider, despite her trauma and her drug addiction, will refuse to conform to the model that the society of the spectacle had planned for her. “It is essential to tell the stories of free, autonomous and independent women who dare to say no and assert themselves,” assures the young actress, totally in tune with the aspirations of her generation. Her feminist consciousness was forged through artistic collaborations and readings (Nora, the modern and independent heroine of A Doll's House, the famous play by Henrik Ibsen, is her model), or by observing her mother, a nurse who had to rethink her life by changing countries. His family remains the foundation on which a solid and determined temperament was built.” The count will have an abusive relationship with Haydée who will fall in love with Albert, the son of his greatest enemy. Alexandre Dumas despite belonging to romanticism, he avoided its biggest vices.
And why did Hollywood adapt the book, if France had already extensively adapted the story The Count of Monte Cristo (1918) - Léon Mathot Monte Cristo (1929) - Jean Angelo Le comte de Monte Cristo (1943) - Pierre Richard-Willm Le Comte de Monte Cristo (1954) - Jena Marais Le Comte de Monte Cristo (1961) - Louis Jordan The Count of Monte Cristo (1979) - Jacques Weber Le Comte de Monte Cristo (1998) - Gerad Depardieu
The adaptation from the 20s is the miniseries with Gerard Depardieu, the mediocre adaptation with Jim Caviezel is from the 2000s. The film looks more like a Mexican soap opera with cheap action scenes.
at least Haydee is in this adaptation. And since the father of one of the co-director for this film is the director of the 1979 tv show who is the most faithful adaptation, I have high hopes !
