THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO Review: An Epic And Satisfying Revisit To A Literary Classic
The Count Of Monte Cristo is now playing in theaters across the U.S. from Samuel Goldwyn Films. The last screen adaptation of famed author Alexandre Dumas’s The Count Of Monte Cristo was 2002’s release from director Kevin Reynolds. To say the least, while I enjoyed the film, it always felt like there was more missing to its treatment for such an epic tale to be told. Would it be a stretch to say that the time our dear protagonist Edmond Dantes spent on an island prison equate to the weight of having to wait as long as the rest of us did for something significant and impressive to come along from the film front? I reckon that it depends on your viewpoint and tastes in film, in general. Moreover, and personally, I certainly didn’t expect the latest French-language iteration from directing duo Alexandre de la Patellière and Matthieu Delaporte to be […]

THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO: Don’t Miss The Trailer For Samuel Goldwyn’s Latest French Revenge Classic
Both William Eubank and Stephen Fung are different directors with at least one other thing in common: Alexandre Dumas. The 19th century literary legend’s classic tale of vengeance, The Count Of Monte Cristo, circled the trades quite a bit in the last decade or so with talks of a remake. Time will tell if this gets any headway, while for now folks curious to see what film duo Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière have been up to are more than welcome to head to theaters when their treatment opens in limited theaters starting next week.
